The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm under the skin. Our unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis.

​

Additionally, there is an integrated cooling SofCool™ mechanism 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 wrinkle reduction and lifting and also Improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

The treatment itself is fast, taking approximately 30 - 40 minutes for the full face and neck region.

Immediate results can be seen as soon as 1 week following the treatment. However, 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.

This treatment has been associated with multiple drawbacks, among them, limited treatment areas, longer treatment times, excessive pain, and additional adverse effects, such as burns and injury to nerves.

Sofwave’s unique technology protects the skin surface with a cooling mechanism and the treatment is effective and safe for most patients. There is no downtime or pain post-treatment.
 

Sofwave uses sound waves which allow energy to bypass the surface of the skin to treat the underlying skin layer at a depth of 1.5 mm (the mid-dermis). This depth is ideal for treating fine lines and wrinkles. Sofwave can treat all skin colors, where lasers cannot.

​

Lasers usually treat the more superficial skin layers and cannot go deeper without damaging the skin surface, therefore running a greater risk of burning.
 

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, patients may feel the warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just before the treatment.

​

Following treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special care to the skin. Patient may resume their daily care immediately post-treatment
 

With Sofwave, the majority of patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from an additional treatment, depending on how much skin laxity they have and their body’s own physiological response to the treatment.

Yes, there are multiple Chinese names for Sofwave. It is due to the difference of translation in different Asian countries. Please contact us if you want to know more.
