Reveal Your Best Skin!
• Beautiful skin depends on healthy collagen. As we age, collagen gradually declines (especially after menopause), leading to sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of firmness.
• Sofwave is an advanced ultrasound treatment designed to safely stimulate new collagen by delivering precise energy to the mid-dermis. This process activates the body’s natural regenerative process, leading to tighter, smoother, and more youthful-appearing skin. By staying in the dermis, it avoids fat loss or thinning the skin. Best of all, it involves NO DOWNTIME.
• Sofwave is ideal for patients of any skin color with mild to moderate sagging who want noticeable skin tightening without surgery, needles, or significant downtime. It can be combined with all other treatments, such as collagen simulating injections, fillers, and other lasers to create a comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
What can Sofwave improve?
• Mild to moderate skin sagging
• Early jowls
• Jawline definition
• Loose skin beneath the chin
• Neck laxity
• Mild drooping brows
• Chest, arms, abdomen, and knees can also be treated
The Treatment Experience:
• After an hour of topical numbing, your appointment will last 30-60 minutes, depending on the area(s) treated.
• The Sofwave handpiece delivers repeated pulses of ultrasound energy to the skin. In the beginning, there is no feeling, but with the repeated heat energy, you will likely start to feel mild shocks or nerve pain. We will give you a chiller air spray to control any discomfort. This chiller device makes the procedure very tolerable. We can always add Pronox laughing gas (for an additional $85-$100) if you would like extra comfort control, but this is typically not needed. For those worried about discomfort, we recommend taking 2 Tylenol and 2 Advil one hour before your appointment. In addition, some patients find that taking Gabapentin (2-3 pills of a nerve blocker) two hours before the procedure.
• There is typically no residual pain or swelling after the procedure, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
• We recommend taking Juven or at least collagen supplements for 1 month after each procedure to support collagen growth. Juven Therapeutic Nutrition Powder (available at the link below) can help to build both collagen and muscle mass. Many patients like the fruit-punch and orange flavor. Take 1 packet per day in the evening along with 1 dose of collagen in the morning.
Expected Results:
• Most patients will need 2 treatments on the face or neck for optimal results, and 2-3 treatments for the rest of the body. The second treatment is often repeated 12 weeks later.
• Results develop slowly and naturally over months. Subtle improvement may begin in 4 weeks, with continued tightening over the next 12 weeks. Peak results are visible 3-6 months after your treatment.
• Results typically last about 12 months or longer, since we can’t stop the aging clock. We recommend a single yearly maintenance treatment for further collagen stimulation and continued results.
