Lift, Tighten, Glow! The Ultimate Guide to Sofwave Treatment

Looking for a non-invasive skin rejuvenation solution that can help you achieve a youthful, lifted appearance?

Sofwave treatment is quickly becoming the go-to choice for patients seeking a touch up to their complexion without going down the route of surgery. In this blog, we’ll be exploring the ins and outs of this innovative treatment, investigating how does Sofwave work and what to expect during and after the procedure.

What is Sofwave Treatment?

Sofwave is a cutting-edge skin treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin by stimulating collagen production. Sofwave utilises advanced ultrasound technology to deliver precise energy to deeper layers of the skin.

The purpose of targeting this ultrasound energy through the skin is to trigger the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen, which in turn tightens and lifts the skin. Unlike traditional lifting techniques, Sofwave focuses on reaching the deeper layers of the skin without causing damage to the outer layer, making it a safe and effective option for all skin types.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave is a non-invasive skin treatment, which means little preparation is required to undergo this procedure. Through the controlled application of high-frequency, low-divergence ultrasound beams, the energy reaches past the skin’s surface to penetrate the mid-dermis layer, where collagen production occurs.

Once it has reached this deeper level of the skin, the tissue is heated, causing a controlled injury that prompts the skin to initiate its natural healing process. The purpose of this is to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. In turn, leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more lifted whilst also leading to a reduction in wrinkles in the face and effective in tightening loose or sagging skin.

One of the main reasons Sofwave is becoming so popular is due to its versatility. Sofwave treatment can be used on a wide range of areas of the body, including the face, neck, and part of the body below the neckline. 

What to Expect During a Sofwave Treatment

To ensure you are comfortable during the treatment, our team of aesthetic specialists will apply a  numbing cream to the targeted areas. During the treatment, you may feel a mild warming sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered to the skin, but this is generally well-tolerated by most patients.

Sofwave is a fairly quick procedure with most sessions lasting between 30 to 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Another one of Sofwave’s benefits is that there is no downtime required, meaning you will be able to return to your daily activities immediately after your session has been completed.

How Long Does Sofwave Last?

Sofwave has the potential to be long-lasting, with most patients noticing an improvement in their skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks of undergoing the procedure. However, to truly feel the full benefits of Sofwave it is best to undergo multiple sessions across a period of three months. This is to allow the collagen production to continue and increase, ensuring stronger results.

While the outcomes are impressive, this is not a permanent treatment as the natural aging process will continue. However, with proper skin care and maintenance, the effects of Sofwave can last for up to a year or longer. To continue seeing strong results, our specialists typically recommend booking in an annual touch-up session to maintain your rejuvenated appearance.

Sofwave Aftercare

One of the greatest benefits of Sofwave is how it requires minimal aftercare. You may experience some mild redness or swelling after the treatment has finished, but this should subside within a few hours. 

After treatment, it is important to take care of your skin and avoid using harsh skincare products that could cause irritation. Products such as retinoids or exfoliants are best to be avoided during this time. Keep the treated area hydrated with fragrance-free moisturisers and avoid exposing it to the sun too often. To ensure you are keeping the skin properly protected against harsh UV rays we recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly.

Our expert practitioners will provide you with a tailored Sofwave aftercare plan during your initial consultation to ensure optimal results.
