Sofwave Reviews: What People Are Saying About This Age Reversing Procedure

Sofwave is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten a mild to moderate amount of loose skin and to stimulate the production of new collagen. This combination helps gradually improve the structure and appearance of your complexion.

It works by sending short bursts of ultrasound energy that target the middle layer of your skin (the dermis), which creates a controlled injury to the treated area. Your body uses its natural healing response to rebuild and repair the damage by creating and replacing the collagen in those areas. It usually takes several weeks to a few months for the new collagen to form, but you will see noticeable tightening and lifting of the skin in the treatment areas.

Several clinical studies were completed, and all reported noticeable lifting in areas like the brow, under the chin, and in the neck area after 2 treatments that were spaced between 4 and 6 weeks apart.

Sofwave™ Before & After

Sofwave™ Before & After

Sofwave sessions normally last between 20 and 30 minutes and can be performed consecutively at least four weeks apart. Patients have described the Sofwave treatment as feeling like a warm sensation with some stinging or feelings of pressure when their more bony areas were treated, like along the jawline or around the eyebrows. Every patient has their own threshold for pain and discomfort, so most providers apply topical numbing cream to the treatment areas to help you feel comfortable during your treatment. 

Some patients reported finding the procedure uncomfortable enough that they requested extra numbing cream or nitrous oxide, but most reported that the discomfort they felt was intermittent and that they could deal with it with the numbing cream.

Sofwave has little to no downtime after treatments, and most people return to their normal activities right away. It is normal to experience mild redness, slight swelling, or temporary tenderness for a few hours on the day of the treatment. There are no special aftercare instructions to be followed except to avoid heavy exercise and excessive heat for a few days after your treatment and to make sure to protect your skin with sunscreen every day.

Clinical studies and peer-reviewed reports show that Sofwave treatments do provide noticeable reductions in skin laxity and improvements in skin tone and lift.

A 2023 peer-reviewed paper found that the Sofwave technology provided safe and effective improvements in lift and tautness of facial skin. Many patients report a subtle immediate lift and ongoing gradual improvements over the next three months. The overall results are not as dramatic as an actual surgical facelift, but it is a great alternative for individuals with only mild to moderate skin sagging and those who would like preventative maintenance.

For people who want to improve the appearance of mild to moderately loose skin and add lift to areas that have lost some of their structure and those who want to look more youthful but still natural-looking, Sofwave is absolutely worth it. What price can you put on the feeling you have when you look in the mirror and are pleased with what you see? A cosmetic treatment that can deliver noticeable improvements without having to undergo surgery can be priceless to some.

Pros

• There are zero incisions and minimal to no downtime, so it does not interfere with your daily schedule.
• It is safe for all skin tones because it targets the deeper layers of your skin and not the pigment. 
• It provides some immediate skin tightening results as well as gradual, natural-looking improvements in structure and tone as the new collagen is produced.

Cons

• The discomfort during the procedure can be real for some people, depending on their personal pain threshold, but the topical numbing gel does help. If you are prone to being more sensitive to pain, you can request additional numbing cream or discuss other options with your practitioner.
• The results are not as dramatic as surgery and may require multiple sessions depending on the amount of correction needed.
• The cost can be a consideration depending on your geographic location, practitioner, and the number of areas you are targeting.

Nothing carries more weight than word-of-mouth recommendations from real clients. If you are looking for a safe and effective treatment to tighten loose skin and take years off your face, Sofwave might be just what you are looking for.

An Honest Review From A Beauty Editors

A beauty editor from Allure who tried Sofwave reported that she noticed an immediate subtle lift with her jawline and forehead feeling tighter right away and gradual improvements over the next three months. She also noted that she has reactive skin and experienced a warm feeling and redness that lasted for several hours. It took a few days for the tight feeling to go away, but she also shared that the doctor said that most people experience these side effects for only a few hours after the treatment. 

She also shared that she was a bit skeptical of what results she would get and was not expecting anyone to notice the difference in her skin right away, but both she and the publicist who was there with her were stunned at her before and after results about an hour after the treatment. As soon as her roommate saw her, she asked what she had gotten done and where her forehead wrinkles had gone.
