Sofwave Skin Tightening: Smooth and Lift with Ultrasound
How it Works:
Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology to deliver controlled heat to the mid-dermis, the optimal layer for collagen stimulation. This process helps the skin naturally replenish itself, leading to smoother texture, a lifted appearance, and a more youthful profile.
Treatment Experience:
- Side effects are minimal, usually mild redness or swelling that resolves quickly.
- A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment.
- Sessions last about 45–90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Most patients need just one session, though some benefit from a second for enhanced results.
Results:
Improvements may be noticeable within 1–2 weeks, with collagen remodeling continuing for up to 12 weeks, producing firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin.
Ideal Areas
- Brow area – gently lifts the eyebrows for a refreshed look
- Cheeks & jawline – improves definition and softens jowls
- Neck – reduces laxity and horizontal neck lines
- Submental (under chin) – helps with skin sagging and “tech neck” lines
- Décolletage (chest) – smooths fine lines and improves crepiness
Secret PRO RF Microneedling: Firm and Rejuvenate the Body
How it Works:
Secret PRO combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to penetrate deeper into the skin’s dermis. By stimulating both collagen and elastin, it helps restore firmness and elasticity, making it an excellent choice for improving skin tone and texture in areas where laxity is most common.
Treatment Experience:
- A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment for comfort.
- Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the area.
- Most patients need a series of treatments for the best results, tailored to their goals and skin condition.
- Downtime is minimal, often limited to temporary redness or swelling.
Results:
Patients often begin to see improvement within a few weeks, with continued tightening and smoothing over the following months as collagen and elastin production increase.
Ideal Areas:
- Knees & Thighs – Reduce crepiness and improve firmness
- Arms – Tighten thinning or sagging skin
- Abdomen – Improve tone after weight loss or pregnancy
- Face & Neck – Enhance tightening while refining texture and scars
How Sofwave Compares to Other Treatments
Many patients want to understand what makes Sofwave unique compared to other devices.
- Sofwave vs. Ultherapy: Both treatments use ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen. However, Ultherapy® delivers energy through the skin using small needles, which can be uncomfortable and sometimes requires downtime. Sofwave, by contrast, is completely non-invasive, gentler, and still produces natural, lasting improvements with a much more comfortable patient experience.
- Sofwave vs. Other Cosmetic Treatments: Unlike lasers or light-based therapies that may not be safe for all skin tones, Sofwave is FDA-cleared for all skin types and colors. It delivers results without damaging the skin’s surface, offering noticeable tightening in as little as one treatment.
