What Is Sofwave Skin Tightening?
In true MD Beauty fashion, we are starting the new year with a wide selection of new treatments for our glow-getters. This year we’re rolling out new gadgets because in the non-surgical cosmetic world we’re always trying out new technology. One such device is Sofwave skin tightening treatments.
Ultra-Cool Tech
Sofwave is a skin tightening treatment that harnesses the power of ultrasound. The energy beams from the device impact the dermis while limiting disruption to the skin barrier. Although this is an ultrasound therapy, Sofwave’s mechanism of action goes beyond a standard energy-based treatment.
SUPERB™, Sofwave’s patented technology, stands for Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam. What this means is that Sofwave device heads are affixed with 7 energy transmitters each laying alongside one another. Instead of the time-consuming and temperamental nature of other ultrasound devices, Sofwave offers a consistent and efficient stream of energy to the area of concern.
Sofcool™ is another notable feature in this skin tightening treatment. Sofwave handpieces are equipped with cooling technology that detects skin temperature and adjusts accordingly to protect the surface of the skin from overheating. It’s got all the precautions necessary to maximize comfort.
No Needles
If you’ve been reading closely, you may have deduced that Sofwave doesn’t involve any syringes or needles. This is great for those who are averse to pokey things coming anywhere near them. We get it… Injections and micro-needling are incredibly effective, but they’re not for everyone.
Sofwave does away with all that and offers a completely non-invasive option for our patients. It remains strong enough to reach the dermis, without breaking through the epidermis. A truly powerful yet pain-free choice for skin tightening.
Sofwave’s Accolades
The most impressive thing about Sofwave is what it can accomplish despite its simple application.
As far as skin tightening goes, Sofwave can be used on all areas: big and small. It can treat a multitude of skin concerns on the face and neck, as well as laxity and tone across the body. Similar to its predecessors, Sofwave employs heat to raise the skin’s temperature to 60°-70° C. This heat triggers the body’s creation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to yield the benefits of all these molecules.
With Sofwave, you can define facial structure, lift sagging areas, tone the skin across the body, reduce hyperpigmentation and scarring, and (arguably the most impressive) reduce the appearance of cellulite. This is a big deal because treatment options for cellulite are incredibly limited, and some of the options available are not the most effective. Sofwave finally gives our patients a solution for their cellulite concerns, as well as general desires for a snatched look.
How Does Sofwave Compare?
You may be wondering how Sofwave compares to its counterparts. Although they all tighten the skin, not all skin tightening treatments are created equally. Here’s a refresher of our current offerings:
| Device | How It Works | What It Treats |
|---|---|---|
| Morpheus8 | Microneedling combined with radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production while heating deeper layers of the skin. | Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin laxity Hyperpigmentation Acne and acne scarring |
| Forma | Radiofrequency technology that gently heats the skin to promote new tissue growth and improve elasticity. | Skin laxity
Fine lines and wrinkles |
While we have an array of effective skin tightening treatments for you to peruse, Sofwave is our first ever ultrasound-powered device. This means that it:
- Impacts the dermal layers without disrupting the skin barrier or underlying fat (for the areas where you want volume)
- Does not rely on superficial micro-injury to work
- Offers immediate results with minimal downtime
There’s a treatment for everyone, regardless of what your preferences are. Sofwave diversifies your options so you get to choose what works best for you.
Is Sofwave Right for You?
Skincare tech can be tricky for the average consumer to navigate, which is why every year, we ensure that our patients get the newest and best that non-surgical cosmetics have to offer. Sofwave’s SUPERB and Sofcool features make it a preferable option for clients who want a quick application and even quicker recovery. This year you can wave goodbye to needle-based treatments and say hello to the softer application of Sofwave.
