Sofwave:
Next Generation Facial Treatment
Or as we like to call it, the “non-invasive mini-face lift”
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is the latest safe and non-invasive treatment for skin tightening. Energy from ultrasound beams travel below the skin and generate heat. This stimulates the production of new collagen, leading to skin contraction/tightening. With minimal penetration, this device ensures no damage to the epidermis or underlying structures.
What to expect during Sofwave?
This is a 30-45 minute procedure with zero-to-little downtime. You can receive this procedure at any time of day and return to work or daily activity.
Patients have visibly benefited from 1-2 treatments.
Is it limited to specific skin types?
This is a safe treatment for sensitive skin and is safe for skin of color.
What areas are commonly treated?
Full face and neck; Dr. Markowitz recommends this treatment for tightening skin around the neck, defining jawlines and lifting brows. Because this treatment is non-invasive, it can be combined with other treatments like botox and filler without interference.
How does Sofwave work?
The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Our unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis. Additionally, there is an integrated cooling mechanism Sofcool ™ that protects the uppermost skin layer from burning. The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response, called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
