Benefits

Sofwave Benefits

Today, various invasive surgical options are designed to treat facial wrinkles and lines. Yet, there is a need for non-invasive cosmetic options with proven safety and efficacy with minimal downtime. In addition, the more aggressive options may cause surface skin damage, which requires recovery and extended downtime. There is also a high risk of complications, including discoloration and discomfort, with many laser and chemical skin treatments. Sofwave employs a unique technology that enables controlled energy delivery and protects target skin with an integrated cooling mechanism without interrupting your daily routine. Clinical testing reveals that most patients enjoy marked improvement after three months following a single session. Seventy-two percent of patients were satisfied with their Sofwave results and rated them as improved to highly improved. In addition, the safety profile indicated that no serious adverse events were reported.

How Sofwave Works

Sofwave employs an ultrasound beam to heat the tissue at a 1.5-millimeter depth under the skin. The heat creates controlled damage, stimulating your body’s healing response, regenerating new collagen production, and remodeling your existing collagen. Collagen is a peptide chain of three amino acids that makes up as much as four-fifths of your skin. Beneath the skin surface, collagen creates a scaffolding structure that connects cells to preserve underlying tissue volume, skin elasticity, and moisture. However, the body’s collagen production will start to diminish in your twenties, and environmental factors like sun exposure and free radicals accelerate its breakdown. Thinning collagen weakens the skin’s structure, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and eventual sagging tissues. The software’s fractional ultrasound heat contracts the collagen in your skin. It stimulates the tissue repair response in your fibroblast cells and ramps up new collagen production. The results include fewer fine lines, wrinkles, and a mild firming effect.
