The patient shown received two treatments approximately six months apart.
Ultrasound energy is used to stimulate a regenerative response in the skin over time.
Sofwave™ skin treatment is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment using proprietary SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology. Ultrasound energy is delivered into the mid-dermis, where controlled heating is intended to stimulate remodeling of collagen and elastin.
The technology is FDA-cleared to improve facial lines and wrinkles and to lift the eyebrow, lax submental tissue beneath the chin, and lax neck tissue. Treatment suitability and areas treated should be determined during a clinical consultation.
Changes in collagen and skin laxity can make the lower face, jawline, area beneath the chin, and neck appear less defined over time. Sofwave™ is designed to treat the skin rather than add facial volume.
For patients who want a non-surgical option, treatment may be considered when the goal is to improve skin firmness, facial lines, and the appearance of lax tissue while avoiding incisions and significant recovery time.
Sofwave™ delivers ultrasound energy at a controlled depth in the mid-dermis. The thermal effect is designed to initiate a healing response associated with new collagen and elastin formation. Sofwave also describes regeneration involving hyaluronic acid as part of its skin-remodeling response.
Because remodeling takes time, improvement can continue over the weeks and months following treatment rather than appearing all at once.
Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for eyebrow lifting.
The technology is FDA-cleared for non-invasive improvement of facial lines and wrinkles.
Lax tissue beneath the chin is an FDA-cleared treatment indication.
Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for lifting lax neck tissue.
The patient shown in this case received two treatments approximately six months apart. That does not mean every patient needs the same schedule. Sofwave patient information describes a typical protocol of one to two treatments depending on skin condition and provider recommendation.
Collagen remodeling is gradual, and improvement can continue during the months following treatment. The appropriate number and timing of treatments should be personalized.
Sofwave™ and injectable treatments address different aspects of facial aging. Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to target skin remodeling, while neuromodulators such as BOTOX® or Dysport® temporarily reduce selected muscle activity and dermal fillers can restore or add volume.
