Sofwave is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that is FDA approved for:
It uses high-intensity fractional ultrasound to heat the tissue in the middle of the dermis (the bottom layer of the skin), which triggers the body’s healing response and stimulates the production of new collagen.
The treatment came with no downtime and no side effects were reported.
Most people only need one treatment session to see improvements, although as with similar treatments that rely on the growth of new collagen, results can take up to three months.
to appear.
Sofwave uses ultrasound beams to heat tissue at a depth of 1.5 mm below the skin. Heat creates controlled damage, which stimulates the body’s healing response, initiating the production of new collagen and modifying existing collagen.
Collagen, a tightly packed peptide chain of three amino acids, makes up as much as 80% of the skin. In the layers of the skin, collagen creates a framework that connects cells to each other, maintaining skin volume, elasticity and moisture.
The body’s natural production of collagen begins to slow in your 20s, and environmental factors such as sun damage and free radicals accelerate its breakdown. Depleted collagen weakens the skin structure, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
Sofwave’s fractional ultrasound heat contracts the collagen in your skin and stimulates a tissue repair response in your fibroblast cells, which increases the production of new collagen. The result is fewer fine lines and wrinkles, along with a mild firming effect that also reduces the appearance of mild cellulite.
Best candidates are in their 30s or older, with mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, some sagging neck skin, or mild jowling around the jawline.
This treatment is suitable for all skin tones.
Today there are a variety of invasive surgical options designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. However, the need for non-invasive aesthetic treatments with proven efficacy, safety and minimal downtime remains unmet. More aggressive options can cause damage to the upper skin, which in turn requires a long healing period and considerable downtime. In addition, there is a higher risk of side effects, including discoloration and discomfort. The unique Sofwave™ technology allows controlled energy delivery, in terms of amount and location, while protecting the skin surface with an integrated cooling mechanism, without interfering with your daily activities. routine.
Collagen is a natural protein that keeps skin youthful while remaining firm. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is sagging skin. Sofwave’s™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ technology generates heat at a depth in the mid-dermis to promote new collagen growth.
