We’ve got one word for you – Sofwave. And, before you go thinking: “Oh no, just another appearance medicine treatment,” let us journey a little bit deeper. In fact, let us take you to just the right depth and temperature to naturally stimulate the production of precious collagen and elastin cells in your skin – and all in a lunchbreak. The result? Tighter skin, greater lift, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and an overall rejuvenated appearance. And all with one word in common – Sofwave.
Our faces are a postcard for aging. Fortunately, globally the cosmetics industry delivers an array of effective appearance medicine procedures – such as Botox, dermal fillers, fat grafting to name but a few – to treat and target laxity, fine lines, relax muscles, manage volume loss and rejuvenate the skin. But injectable and appearance medicine treatments do have their limitations – collagen production being one of them (and we lose 1% of our collagen cells a year from our 20s onwards.) Sofwave however, is different to other appearance medicine treatments. This revolutionary non-invasive procedure engages ultrasound technology to gently stimulate collagen and elastin production at just the right temperature and depth below the skins surface – without damaging fat cells, nerves or blood vessels. This new wave of collagen and elastin cells plumps, lifts and restores volume.
Unlike some ultrasound devices – where ultrasound energy is delivered to three different skin layers – Sofwave only sends ultrasound to a depth of 1.5mm. This controlled temperature affords a more uniform effect and doesn’t damage the outer layers of skin or the deeper tissues and muscles within. Another thumbs up to Sofwave, is that its limited depth of treatment doesn’t disrupt fat or tissue below collagen and elastin layers.
Typically, a Sofwave procedure can be performed in as little as 30-40minutes for a full-face treatment – including the neck. Following treatment, you can expect to see results in as little as one week as the collagen regeneration process begins. Collagen regeneration can unfold for up to a year for some patients, and most people can expect to see ongoing skin improvement – a reduction in fine lines and greater lift and tightening – in the three months post-treatment.
Whilst ultrasound treatments are revolutionising the skin tightening world, it doesn’t mean injectable treatments, like dermal fillers, are on their way out. Where you are losing volume, dermal fillers have a place – and there are a variety of dermal fillers to serve certain facial areas i.e. a thicker filler for the cheeks or thinner fillers to smooth fine lines. We all have different skin needs, at every age, which requires an individual approach to skin rejuvenation. A facial rejuvenation plan in your 30s will differ from one in your 50s. So, investing in expert advice when it comes to choosing the best cosmetic and appearance medicine treatment pathway for you, should always be your first step to a youthful, volumised and rejuvenated appearance.
