As we age, the skin begins to lose collagen, the connective protein that keeps it thick, elastic, and youthful. Skin laxity is one of the factors responsible for fine lines and wrinkles, and it can be a difficult problem to treat. Sofwave is an exciting new technology that can tighten skin and minimize fine lines and wrinkles without incisions, needles, or downtime. At Modern Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we’re thrilled to offer this award-winning technology to the Newtown and King of Prussia areas.
What is Sofwave Laser?
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment using ultrasound technology to promote collagen production. It generates a fractional heating effect, creating thermal zones under the skin’s surface while leaving the rest of it intact, drastically reducing downtime. By stimulating collagen in the mid dermal tissue, Sofwave treatment can create thicker, more youthful skin and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without surgery. And because the ultrasound energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface, there’s no downtime involved, and you can get right back to your schedule with no visible effects or special aftercare.
Who is a Candidate for Sofwave Laser?
Anyone beginning to experience signs of aging like loose skin, lines, and wrinkles can benefit from Sofwave treatment. It’s safe and effective for all skin types and tones and is clinically proven to produce noticeable skin tightening. During a consultation with laser experts, you can learn more about how Sofwave can help you realize a more youthful appearance.
What to Expect During Sofwave Treatment
A Sofwave procedure is quick and easy, requiring only a topical numbing cream. Your skin will be cleansed and the ultrasound gel and handpiece will be applied to the treatment area. Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation while the ultrasound technology is administered. Afterward, your skin will be moisturized and SPF will be applied so you can go about the rest of your day. You can resume your daily skincare and even makeup right away.
Sofwave Laser Aftercare
There’s no aftercare involved with Sofwave and you can return to your regular activities immediately. You may have some slight redness for a few hours, but it can easily be covered with makeup if it doesn’t subside quickly. It can take up to 12 weeks to see the full effect of Sofwave treatment, but many people only need a single treatment to see significant results. We recommend yearly maintenance treatments to offset collagen loss and ensure you maintain your results.
