Sofwave

Sofwave simultaneously delivers parallel ultrasound beams, creating cylindrical heat-coagulation zones in the mid-dermis about 1.5mm below the surface. Cooling protects the surface; dermal energy induces new collagen and elastin during recovery.

Sofwave mainly acts on dermis supporting firmness. Goals differ from deeper lifting, so we distinguish skin looseness from descended tissue. Severe sagging may suit other procedures or surgery.

• When skin feels deflated, weak or loose
• When both fine lines and reduced firmness concern you
• Laxity after rapid weight changes
• When you want additional firming after a facelift
• When areas such as mouth-to-chin marionette lines are difficult to address with Ultherapy alone
• When electronic implants or other reasons limit monopolar RF and you want to discuss another firming option

Seven transducers simultaneously create parallel cylindrical mid-dermal zones about 1mm wide. Target temperature is around 60–70℃. Concurrent surface cooling aims to reduce heat damage, but rare burns/blisters remain possible.

Coagulation zones contract during recovery, activating fibroblasts and increasing collagen/elastin. This proceeds over 1–3 months, so effects appear gradually.

• Immediately after treatment: Slight redness and tightness, mixed with swelling response.
• 2–4 weeks: Texture may feel smoother first.
• 1–3 months: Collagen regeneration makes firmness and fine-line changes more apparent.
• Maintenance: Effects may last about 12 months or longer; further treatment follows skin and response.

1. Assessment · Design: Assess whether sagging involves dermis or fascia, and skin thickness, to set scope.
2. Anesthesia: Topical anesthesia for 20–30 minutes.
3. Treatment: The handpiece contacts each area for delivery. Heat repeats; order and pauses follow the Comfort Standard.
4. Soothing: Cooling/soothing before leaving.

• Same-day redness/slight swelling usually settles within hours.
• Avoid saunas, strenuous exercise and alcohol that day; continue sunscreen.
• We plan intervals from filler, threads and strong laser treatments.

Contact the clinic if this occurs

• If blisters or weeping occur
• If sensation is reduced or expressions feel unusual
• If redness or pain worsens over several days

• We first distinguish the sagging layer. Sofwave may be advised for dermal firmness; Ultherapy PRIME is considered first for fascial sagging.
• We review surgery, weight changes and existing filler/thread sites to plan scope for current skin.
• Consultation and treatment in private rooms, in 4 languages.
