What is Sofwave?

Sofwave Medical has pioneered a groundbreaking approach to cellulite reduction with FDA-cleared ultrasound technology. Designed for individuals of all ages and skin types, Sofwave offers hope to those frustrated by stubborn cellulite and exhausted by ineffective treatments. But here's the kicker – it's not just for cellulite. This award-winning treatment is also FDA-cleared for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines on the face and neck.

Dr. Taub said, "Anyone with mild to moderate laxity of the skin of the face, neck, arms, and legs [are ideal candidates for Sofwave treatments]. That is a very large pool of patients. I’ve had patients say things that I have rarely heard about other procedures like 'When can I get my next treatment?' and 'The results are unbelievable!' Some even ask, 'What else can I have done with Sofwave?'”

How Does It Work?

Sure, ultrasound isn't new, but Sofwave's technology is unparalleled. By employing seven parallel beams of energy, Sofwave penetrates the skin to a depth of 1.5mm, targeting the mid-dermis. This precise delivery of heat stimulates a healing response, triggering the regeneration of collagen – the key to reducing cellulite's rippling and dimpling effect.

"Sofwave improves the collagen and elastin in the dermal layer," Dr. Taub said, "this results in improvement of the dimple portion of cellulite by increasing volume and also flatten out the areas of bulging because the stronger skin can compress the fat."

The Treatment Experience

Picture this: a quick 30-45 minute procedure. After applying a topical anesthetic, a technician glides a slim, handheld ultrasound device over the targeted areas in a grid-like pattern. Minimal downtime and discomfort mean you can return to your daily routine immediately. And the best part? Most patients see results after just one session, with continued improvement over 12 weeks.

"It’s practical and it works. Most past noninvasive treatments require many many procedures and frequent maintenance. Others that may work such as microneedling radio frequency are painful and often require injectable anesthesia. Still, other treatments require a device that goes under the skin directly burning fat or cutting connective tissue so not truly non-invasive," Dr. Taub said.

In an era where weight loss drugs like semaglutides promise miracles but often lead to unwanted side effects like 'Ozempic face,' Sofwave offers a safe, non-invasive solution. By remodeling collagen and elastin with ultrasound technology, Sofwave restores natural facial volume, combating the hollow, gaunt look associated with weight loss medications.

Expanding Horizons

As if that wasn't impressive enough, Sofwave recently received FDA clearance for addressing loose skin on the upper arms – a notoriously stubborn area, especially for women. With its innovative SUPERB Technology, Sofwave heats the dermis to trigger collagen and elastin production, effectively lifting, tightening, and toning the skin.

"Sofwave was easy to incorporate from the beginning. Many aesthetic patients have concerns with skin laxity and desire a procedure that can yield consistent results with minimal discomfort and no downtime," Dr. Taub said.

As summer approaches, prepare to bid farewell to skin concerns and welcome a newfound confidence with Sofwave. Whether you're seeking to address cellulite, fine lines, or loose skin, Sofwave's advanced technology promises a safe and effective solution with minimal discomfort and downtime. Don't let any skincare worries overshadow your summer spirit – let Sofwave be your trusted ally as you embrace the season of sunshine and confidence.
