Sofwave
What is the Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to improve skin laxity, lift, and add volume, giving you a more youthful appearance. It’s a great way to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin without needing needles or surgery. It is the ultimate lunchtime treatment – you can achieve noticeable results in a 30–45-minute session and return to your day!
Sofwave™ is the leader in non-invasive energy-based solutions. The technology is proven to trigger neocollagenesis, which increases collagen and stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid production. This triple action counteracts the signs of aging, delivering noticeable natural results after just one treatment.
FAQ
- Sofwave is FDA-cleared to treat all skin types.
- Most Sofwave™ treatments take just 30-45 minutes, so you can easily fit it into your busy schedule.
- Everyone experiences treatment a little differently! Patients may feel a warm sensation on their skin as the ultrasound energy is delivered, which can be resolved by applying a topical anesthetic cream just before the treatment.
- You should be able to return to your normal activities immediately following your Sofwave treatment! Some may experience mild redness or swelling, typically subsiding within a few hours. No special post-treatment care is required. You can apply makeup and resume your day as usual.
- One of the best things about Sofwave is that most people only need one treatment to see results! Unlike procedures requiring multiple sessions, Sofwave delivers noticeable improvements after one visit. And the best part? Your results will continue to improve in the weeks and months following your treatment.
You might notice some initial improvement within a week. Still, the magic happens gradually over the next 12 weeks as your skin naturally regenerates and produces new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Clinical studies have shown that Sofwave results can last up to a year or more after just one treatment!
Of course, everyone’s skin is different, and factors like your age, genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits can all affect how long your results last.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate?
Candidates for Premier Platinum Lift are patients who wish to improve their wrinkles and skin elasticity. With its variety of applicator heads, the Jett Plasma Lift can be used on the skin almost anywhere on the body, but the exciting part is that it can be used on the area around the eyes, especially sagging upper eyelids.
What is a typical treatment like?
The patient experiences some heat sensation from the plasma energy, but it is very tolerable. This energy stimulates lax skin to contract, producing collagen and elastin and has an overall rejuvenating effect. A cascade of physiological processes occur that results in the cell membranes tightening. The contraction of the skin is immediately visible to the naked eye. This treatment does not involve any cutting, injecting, burning, or removal of skin or tissue. It is particularly good at working on small areas of heavily lined skin such as upper and lower eyes, wrinkles over the mouth, wrinkles on the chin, smile lines, frown lines, and neck areas.
How long does a treatment take?
Most Jett Plasma treatments take between 20 minutes and one hour. This varies widely depending on the size and number of treatment areas. Local anesthetic cream is used during the procedure with the gold tip so the pain from the treatment should be minimal. The healing process can cause some mild discomfort but over-the-counter pain relief can be taken to help.
What results will I see?
The Jett Plasma treatment produces instant contraction of skin fibers and this process continues to take effect from the first 2-4 weeks up to 3 months. The effect of the treatment directly correlates to individual genetics, skin health, and to the number of treatments. If done correctly the effects can last 2-5 years. You will age as you would normally and your skin will continue to loosen and relax as part of the aging process.
Is there any downtime?
For the silver tips, there are no side effects or downtime. For the gold tips, if added, there can be mild swelling for approximately two to four days post-treatment that can be significant enough to warrant social downtime. Light crusting and discoloration may be present for 3-5 days. This can be covered by makeup after 24 hours. There is minimal discomfort afterward, but it isn’t significant. It feels like a mild sunburn. Skin contraction takes 1-6 weeks post-treatment and you will continue to see skin tightening and improvement as time passes.
