Sofwave is a new, clinically-proven, non-invasive approach to rebuilding collagen, thereby improving facial lines and wrinkles. This treatment is particularly effective for tissue tightening, as it stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, leading to a smoother and firmer appearance of the skin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\"><em>Haute Beauty&#8217;s says <a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/669410\/get-kardashian-approved-skin-with-sofwaves-revolutionary-treatment\/\">&#8220;Get Kardashian-Approved Skin With Sofwave&#8217;s Revolutionary Treatment&#8221;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Using proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB\u2122, energy precisely passes through the skin\u2019s surface (the epidermis), heating the mid-dermal tissue at just the right depth and temperature to rejuvenate collagen fibers and improve the overall appearance of the face including reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and lifting of the eyebrow, submental tissue and neck area.<br \/>\n<a class=\"btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/non-surgical-facelift\/sofwave\/#pageblock-14813\" rel=\"noopener\">skip to faq section below to learn more about sofwave\u2193<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/request-appointment\/\">Request a Sofwave Consultation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n\"mainEntity\": [{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How do I know if I need Sofwave?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"A good candidate for Sofwave is typically, those in their 30s and older who have mild\nto moderate skin aging. The potential patient should have some degree of fine lines and\nwrinkles. If a patient needs lifting in the eyebrow, submental, or neck areas Sofwave could help.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How does Sofwave work?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Sofwave's unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERBTM\ngenerates heat at the right depth of 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Additionally, there is an integrated\ncooling SofCoolTM mechanism that protects the uppermost skin layer from burning. The\nimpacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response, called neocollagenesis, which\nincreases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and\nwrinkles, and lifting of the eyebrow, submental, and neck areas.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How will I look and feel before and after Sofwave?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"As the ultrasound energy is delivered, patients may feel warmness of the skin.\nTreatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the\ntreatment. Following treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special\ncare on the skin. Patient may resume their daily care immediately post treatment.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How long is a typical Sofwave Treatment?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"The treatment itself is fast, taking approximately 20 - 60 minutes for the full face and\nneck region.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How long does it take to see results?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Immediate results can be seen as soon as 1 week following the treatment. However,\nthe collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are\nexpected to see ongoing improvements in 3 months after their treatment.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How many treatments does it take?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"With Sofwave, most patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit\nfrom an additional treatment, depending on their body\u2019s physiological response to the\ntreatment.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"What were Sofwave\u2019s clinical results?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"At 3 months, a majority of patients were marked as improved to very much improved\nfollowing a single treatment session only. 72% of the patients were satisfied with their results\nand rated them as improved too very much improved. The safety profile was strong with no\nserious adverse events reported by study participants.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"Can Sofwave replace a surgical procedure?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Sofwave is a great alternative for those who are not ready to take that extra step and\nundergo plastic surgery. The results will be more dramatic in a surgical procedure, but there are\nrisks involved with a surgical procedure, with the anesthesia and the occurrence of scar tissue.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"Can this be combined with other treatments?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Sofwave may be combined with other treatment methods or may be done\nindividually. BOTOX Cosmetic and injectable fillers are commonly combined to achieve a more\ndramatic effect than by itself. Virtually any procedure (even post or pre-surgery) may be\ncombined with tissue tightening. Also, tissue tightening does not preclude you from having\nadditional treatments in the future or undergoing surgery.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"What is the cost of Sofwave?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"The cost of these procedures is based on the area being treated. Typically pricing\nbegins at $1325 per treatment.
