Sofwave in Palm Springs

Sofwave is a powerful ultrasound-based technology that can be instrumental in the fight against aging.

What Is Sofwave?

Powered by gentle ultrasound energy, Sofwave provides profound skin firming outcomes without surgery or downtime.

Sofwave can be applied to the brows, eyelids, neck, submental area, jawline, cheeks, décolletage, and arms. It is safe for all skin types, and patients can achieve their desired look in just 1-2 appointments per year.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave relies on Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB technology to deliver ultrasound energy pulses to the mid dermis at a depth of 1.5mm. The device simultaneously protects the epidermis through its built-in cooling system. This ensures rapid recovery and minimal side effects after sessions. The gentle heating offered by ultrasound waves boosts collagen production, rejuvenating the skin by harnessing the body’s innate wound-healing abilities. With the increase in new collagen, the skin appears tighter, smoother, and more youthful.

How Should I Prepare for Sofwave?

On the day of your Sofwave appointment in Palm Springs, you should arrive at our offices with your skin cleansed and free from makeup, sunscreen, creams, and lotions. Taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen prior to your session can ensure a painless and stress-free treatment journey. Avoid strenuous exercise, overexposure to the sun, drinking alcohol, and smoking in the days leading up to your Sofwave procedure.

Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a healthy skincare routine before your appointment can also support optimal treatment results.

What Can I Expect During My Treatment?

On the day of your appointment, we will welcome you into the office and place you in one of our comfortable treatment suites, where we will briefly renew your treatment plan. To ensure your comfort, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic prior to applying the Sofwave device.

As the ultrasound energy is applied to the mid dermis, you may feel a slight sensation of warmth. This just means the technology is working to boost collagen reserves. Sofwave contains built-in cooling to bolster relaxation and peace of mind.

After Sofwave

Thanks to Sofwave’s precision-based Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Array technology, only the deeper skin layers are targeted where collagen renewal can occur. The outermost skin layers are carefully preserved, ensuring minimal side effects and downtime after the procedure. Sofwave’s built-in cooling protocol also reduces overall recovery time and discomfort.

Patients can leave the office and immediately resume normal activities. In terms of restrictions, avoid undergoing dermal filler injections for several weeks. Mild redness may be present in the treatment areas for several hours.
