Sofwave is a non-invasive, medical aesthetic device used for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. It is the newest technology available at EpiCentre Skin Care and Laser Center.

Sofwave uses ultrasound technology to target and tighten the dermis layer of the skin. This not only provides an immediate benefit of skin tightening but also encourages cellular activity to produce more collagen long after the appointment is over. The collagen regeneration process minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles most often associated with aging skin. The most popular areas where Sofwave can be used are on the face, neck, hands, knees, and almost anywhere else on your body—all with minimal downtime and discomfort.

Sofwave technology works by creating micro-injuries to the dermis. As the body naturally heals the skin, it produces new collagen resulting in greater skin elasticity for up to one year after treatment.

When compared to other procedures like micro-needling or radiofrequency treatments that involve breaking through the skin’s surface layers, Sofwave provides all these same benefits without any invasive measures. Combined with minimal side effects such as minor redness or swelling for no more than two days following treatment, Sofwave may be the perfect solution for those looking for a fast yet effective way to reduce signs of aging with no downtime.

Sofwave uses s an innovative synchronous ultrasound parallel beam array technology to precisely convey heat 1.5mm into the mid-dermis—the ideal depth for treating wrinkles. Sofcool™ technology acts as a protective barrier, ensuring the outer skin layer remains unaffected.

The ultrasound waves transform into heat within the dermis, prompting the synthesis of collagen. This process replenishes collagen in the skin, diminishing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles while fostering a smoother and firmer complexion.

• Ultrasound Energy: Sofwave emits high-intensity, focused ultrasound energy into the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the outer layer.
• Thermal Coagulation Zones: This energy creates tiny, controlled thermal coagulation zones in the target areas beneath the skin’s surface.
• Collagen Stimulation: The controlled heating from Sofwave’s ultrasound energy triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin.
• Skin Tightening: As new collagen forms over time, it tightens and lifts the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

What Areas Does Sofwave Treat?

Sofwave is primarily used to treat facial areas where skin tightening and wrinkle reduction are desired. Some common areas that Sofwave can effectively treat include:

• Forehead: to reduce forehead wrinkles and facial lines
• Brow: to lift and tighten the brow and forehead region
• Eyes: to improve the appearance of crow's feet and sagging eyelid skin
• Cheeks: to address sagging skin and fine lines and facial wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds: to reduce the appearance of smile lines
• Jawline and Jowls: to tighten and contour the jawline and reduce mild jowling
• Neck: for firming neck tissue, skin tightening, and wrinkle reduction

How many Sofwave treatments will I need?

Most patients typically require only one session, though some may find additional treatments beneficial. The number of sessions depends on individual factors such as the extent of skin laxity and the specific response of your body to the Sofwave™ treatment.

How long does a treatment take?

Typically, a single Sofwave™ session lasts 45-90 minutes, including a 45-60 minute application of a topical anesthetic.
