How does Sofwave work?
Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ Technology that is FDA-approved for lifting the brow, jawline and neck, capable of diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. It generates heat at the right depth of 1.5mm in the mid-dermis, and the treatment stimulates a healing response that generates collagen and leads to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
There is an additional integrated cooling mechanism called SofCool that will protect the uppermost skin layer from burning during the treatment.
The treatment is a quick and easy one, taking only about 45-60 minutes for the full face and neck region. Results can be seen immediately after the treatment, but the collagen regeneration process can take up to 3 months so there will be ongoing improvements during that time.
