SofWave Skin Tightening Treatment at U.S. Dermatology Partners

How SofWave Works

SofWave is a skin tightening and smoothing treatment that utilizes Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology. It’s utilized to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity around the chin and neck or the eyebrows. After numbing the face for approximately an hour, the procedure itself is completed within 30 to 45 minutes. Thanks to the innovative Sofcool technology and the use of a Zimmer chiller for additional cooling, the treatment is tolerated well by most patients.

SofWave technology allows your aesthetic provider to easily treat precise areas of skin deep in the dermis layers while protecting the outer layers of skin. The ultrasound waves heat the dermis layer of skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production and tightening existing collagen and elastin fibers, which leads to greater skin tightness and elasticity.

Benefits of SofWave

Some of the many benefits of SofWave treatment include:

• Improvement of appearance – reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
• No anesthesia – there’s no need to be under general anesthesia as is necessary for more invasive options, and for many local anesthesia or numbing isn’t even required for this completely needle and scalpel-free procedure.
• No downtime – you can return to your regular routine immediately following treatment. In fact, a clinical study showed that there were no serious adverse effects related to SofWave treatment.
• Little to no risk of scarring – things can go wrong with any procedure, but in almost all cases, the use of SofWave does not lead to any long-term or permanent scarring.
• Long-lasting results – improvements are obvious within a few weeks of treatment, and they can continue for months after the procedure. For most people, retreatment once a year is enough to maintain the results.
• Versatile treatment – before the unique SUPERB technology was developed, tightening treatments were only available for certain skin tones and types, and they only delivered improvement in the outer layers of the skin. They did not have the precision to address all skin tones or stimulate skin changes deeper within the skin’s layers.
• Available year-round – laser treatments are typically only recommended in the fall and winter to avoid sun sensitivity, but because SofWave ultrasound technology is applied deeper in the layers of skin, it causes less sensitivity and can be used year-round.

Who Can Benefit from SofWave?

Anyone who is interested in tightening the skin and improving the symptoms of mild to moderate skin aging may benefit from treatment using SofWave.

However, most people who utilize SofWave are adults around their mid-30s and older who want to reduce the appearance of skin laxity, fine, lines, wrinkles, and sagging on the neck or around the eyebrows. It can be used in lieu of more invasive procedures or as a way to postpone these procedures.

Why Choose SofWave?

There are many reasons that SofWave is recommended above other skin tightening solutions, including:

• Sofcool technology – this mechanism ensures complete comfort during and after SofWave treatment. It cools skin throughout treatment and significantly reduces post-procedure inflammation and redness.
• Ultrasound technology – because other non-invasive skin tightening solutions only address the appearance of the surface layers of skin, they are not usually as transformative or long-lasting. SofWave uses ultrasound technology to penetrate deeper into the skin.
• Advanced precision – using the SUPERB™ ultrasound technology, the dermatologist can ensure energy is applied in the optimal location and depth to achieve the desired results.

Receive Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

While it doesn’t necessarily deliver the same level of change possible with surgical face and brow lift procedures, SofWave maximizes the results that are possible from non-surgical solutions. If you’re looking to age more gracefully and improve the overall elasticity of your skin, you should consult with a knowledgeable dermatologist about the benefits of SofWave.
