Unlocking Comprehensive Skin Beauty with Sofwave Technology 

- Sofwave stimulates the production of both collagen and elastin, suitable for all skin types. It is highly safe and has received safety certification standards from the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). 

- Research data indicates that 86% of individuals who undergo Sofwave treatments notice significant improvement in facial wrinkles within 3 months after a single session. 

- Visible changes can be observed as early as 4 weeks after receiving Sofwave treatment, and results can last up to 6 months to 1 year, reducing the need for frequent repetitions. 

 

Innovations in skin care that help with skin tightening, reducing sagging, smoothing wrinkles, stimulating collagen production, and even reducing skin pigmentation are available in various forms today. It is important to select skin care technology that is tailored to individual skin concerns. 

 

"Sofwave" is a new innovation that addresses various skin concerns, including reducing sagging, lifting, minimizing wrinkles, and enhancing skin smoothness. It is considered one of the most advanced methods in effective skin care. 

 

How Sofwave Works: 

SofWave is a high-frequency ultrasound device certified by the FDA. It is designed to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin for individuals with mild to moderate sagging and wrinkles. It stimulates collagen production using Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) Technology. 

During each pulse or shot, energy is delivered to the skin in the form of seven parallel cylindrical columns, focusing primarily on the mid dermis layer at a depth of 1.5 mm, which is the most suitable depth for treating wrinkles. This layer contains a significant amount of collagen and elastin. The heat generated spreads within the mid dermis layer, ranging from 0.5 to 2 mm, covering the entire mid dermis. The temperature reaches approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, ensuring consistent and precise energy delivery from the emitting head. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin (neocollagenesis, neoelastogenesis). Additionally, Sofwave incorporates a proprietary feedback-controlled skin cooling mechanism (SofCool) to protect the outer layer of the skin during treatment, preventing any potential skin damage. 

The Highlights of Sofwave: 

1. SofCool Technology: Incorporates skin-cooling technology to protect the epidermis layer, reducing discomfort during treatment and ensuring minimal downtime afterward.  

2. Single Treatment: Recommended once a year (depending on individual skin conditions), making it convenient and efficient.  

3. Stimulates Collagen and Elastin: Promotes the production of both collagen and elastin, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. 

4. Suitable for All Skin Types: Can be used on all Fitzpatrick skin types, from fair to dark. 

5. High Safety Standards: FDA-certified for safety, ensuring a high level of safety during treatments. 

6. Non-invasive: As ultrasound energy penetrates no more than 2 mm, it poses no risk to nerves, bones, fat layers, or the epidermis. 

7. No Surgery, No Scarring:  Not a surgical procedure, so there are no incisions or scars after treatment. 

8. No Recovery Time:  Patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, without any downtime.  

9. No Side Effects: Treatment is well-tolerated, with no reported side effects. 

10. Treatment Time: Typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. 

 

The results obtained from Sofwave treatments include: 

 

1. Improvement of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduction of wrinkles on the face, forehead, around the eyes, and in the cheek area, resulting in smoother skin texture. 

2. Eyebrow Lift:  Lifting of the eyebrows and addressing drooping eyelids.  

3. Submental Tightening: Tightening under the chin, enhancing facial contours. 

4. Neck Tightening: Tightening of the skin around the neck area and reducing neck wrinkles. 

   

5. Cellulite Reduction: Temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite. 

6. Treatment of Acne Scars: Reduction of acne scars, improving skin texture and appearance. 

7. Improvement of Upper Arm Skin Laxity: Addressing loose skin on the upper arms, leading to firmer-looking skin. 

 

Precautions and Limitations of Sofwave: 

People who should not undergo Sofwave treatment include those with a pacemaker, individuals with severe cystic acne, and pregnant women. 

 

Other precautions include avoiding treatment on areas with open wounds. For individuals taking certain medications such as vitamin A derivatives or blood thinners, it is advisable to inform the doctor before undergoing treatment.

- It is ideal for those looking for non-surgical skin tightening procedures.  

 

 

Aftercare following Sofwave treatment: 

- Mild redness and small bumps may occur immediately after treatment, typically resolving within 24 hours. If there is redness and swelling, applying cold compresses is recommended. 

- You can cleanse your face with gentle soap and water as usual. 

- Moisturizer and sunscreen can be applied normally. 

- Makeup can be worn immediately after treatment, as there is no downtime.
