Sofwave™ FAQ
HOW IS SOFWAVE BETTER THAN OTHER EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES?
Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Aggressive options (such as lasers and radio frequency microneedling) can cause significant damage to the skin surface, have long healing periods and considerable downtime and may have a high risk of side effects. RF micro needling treatments can be very uncomfortable, risky and have downtime.
Gentler, non-invasive solutions have shown limited efficacy, and in most cases, require multiple treatments.
Sofwave™’s unique technology enables the controlled delivery of energy while protecting the skin surface with an integrated cooling mechanism. Even better, there is no downtime.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
WHAT DOES THE SOFWAVE™ TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmth. Treatment can be nearly pain-free with topical anesthetic cream. Following the treatment, there is no residual pain. Daily routine skin care can be resumed immediately after treatment.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment.
In Sofwave™’s clinical trials, results have been shown in as little as one treatment.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH SOFWAVE?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe.
Immediately post treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours post treatment.
