Sofwave NYC is a new FDA cleared non-invasive skin tightening treatment which shows a marked improvement on fine lines, wrinkles and wrinkles in aging skin. The system delivers ultrasound energy which stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin with zero downtime.

Sofwaveâ„¢ skin tightening treatment in NYC - How does it work?

The Sofwave device uses an ultrasound beam to heat skin tissue at a depth of 1.5mm to the mid-dermis. It creates a series of hot spots of targeted treatments without heating the surface of the skin. This controlled heat stimulates the body’s healing response, ramping up new collagen production and remodelling existing collagen in the process. This results in fewer wrinkles and fine lines as well as mild firming of the skin.

Does Sofwaveâ„¢ tighten skin?

Sofwaveâ„¢ stimulates the production of collagen, allowing it to rebuild and remodel from beneath the skin. This tightens and makes the skin firmer naturally.

Sofwave or Ultherapy - Is Sofwaveâ„¢ safer than Ultherapy?

Ultherapy and Sofwave™ are both safe ultrasound treatments to tighten loose skin, however, there are a few differences which make Sofwave™ the preferred option of the two for the superficial layer. Dr. Shelton still uses Ultherapy for the deeper layers. The main difference lies in the effectiveness of the superficial layer as Sofwave’s energy is more prolonged per area.

Are there any side effects with Sofwaveâ„¢?

Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment and clinical trials have shown its results to be safe and effective. The heat generated during the procedure may result in reddened skin for up to a few hours after the treatment. In rare cases, patients may experience a slight swelling which is likely to last for a few days. However, both the swelling and the redness can be covered with makeup, so you’ll be able to get back to your daily routine with zero downtime.

How long does the Sofwaveâ„¢ treatment last?

The results of this procedure are not permanent; however, it will last for at least one to two years before your ageing process shows a noticeable change. Because of this, you may have to undergo annual maintenance treatments.
