To describe the perfect Mother’s Day gift is to describe a three-course meal. For the first course, she’ll have alone time. Not an hour or two—we’re talking an entire day spent doing whatever she wants, no strings attached. For the main course, she’ll have Sofwave (in the form of a gift card to be redeemed at her convenience). The only thing that could possibly trump this is a scoop from the fountain of youth itself—but that’s not available, and this is the next best thing. And for the third course? A homemade card from each child to stash in her Special Things I’ll Never Throw Away box. But back to Sofwave.

Revolutionizing Beauty Without Surgery: Discover Sofwave
To be clear, this is not the same thing as giving mom plastic surgery—that’s a totally different gift with very specific rules for the giver to follow to guarantee it’s well-received – rules that we’re not going to get into because Sofwave’s not surgery, not even close. Sofwave is an FDA-cleared treatment that relies on ultrasound technology to turn back the clock – a non-invasive treatment that delivers fewer lines and wrinkles and a lifted brow, neck, and jawline, all in a single in-office procedure with little to no downtime. It’s non-surgical and needle-free, and since Sofwave isn’t melanin-dependent, it’s safe for all skin tones all year round.
Sofwave’s unique SUPERB Technology heats the dermis at the right temperature triggering a healing response that increases both collagen and elastin in the skin, which is necessary to maintain volume. Requiring only a topical anesthetic to numb the skin, Sofwave patients show significant improvement in 12 weeks after just one 45-minute in-office treatment.

1. What do your patients enjoy about the Sofwave treatment?
There is NO downtime (or healing), and results are amazing, you can have the procedure any time of year (don’t have to worry about being tan, etc), with minimal contraindications (pregnancy or skin infection),
Sofwave blends well with other procedures (we often combine with IPL or other laser procedures). It lifts the skin for a refreshed look.
2. Is Sofwave one of your go-to treatments for busy moms? If so, why?
There is NO downtime, this procedure can be a private secret for looking your best, one to two treatments yearly and you look like you slept at night.
3. How can Sofwave help moms look and feel younger?
Sofwave tightens and lifts the skin and gives a more defined jawline, and a feeling as though you treated yourself. The long-term benefit is that collagen and elastin are stimulated for at least 6 months after treatment. Sofwave is the gift that keeps on giving. You can also treat several parts of the body...eyelids, forehead, arms, abdomen, legs, buttocks, etc.

4. Can you describe how a Sofwave lift is achieved - how does Sofwave work?
Sofwave tightens the skin and stimulates collagen using a unique, SUPERB Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology that heats 1.5 mm in the mid-dermis. This is the optimal depth for wrinkle treatment and spares the superficial visual layer of the skin. This technology does not damage or irritate the top layer of skin, thus no downtime or healing. Ultrasound technology is well-established as a safe and effective skin-tightening treatment.
5. Is your practice using Sofwave to address cellulite and upper arm laxity in your female patients?
Yes! A very common request is to tone, firm, and lift all parts of our patients’ bodies. Summer soon follows Mother’s Day when more skin shows. Sofwave is the perfect gift for both Mother’s Day and Father's Day for patients who want to address cellulite or want to tighten and lift the lax skin of the upper arms.
Sofwave has won beauty awards from many magazines AND, if you play your cards right this May, it could also win another award: Best Mother’s Day Gift 2024!
