How Does Sofwave Technology Work?

To understand Sofwave technology, it’s important to recognize the significant role of collagen within our bodies. Collagen is a protein that provides structure, strength, and elasticity to our skin, bones, and connective tissues, helping keep them firm and resilient. As our bodies age—beginning in our mid-20s—the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin leads to wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity.
Sofwave™'s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology helps counter the natural collagen reduction by using sound waves to stimulate production, effectively remodeling collagen. In turn, the outcomes manifest with time rather than overnight, ultimately helping with everything from the reduction of lines and cellulite to the visual lifting of brows and an overall more sculpted appearance. 
Best of all, Sofwave technology is FDA-approved and considered incredibly safe, especially when used by a highly trained practitioner like NYC-based Dr. Sung. During procedures, the system's integrated Sofcool™ cooling technology protects the outer layer of skin while enabling the ultrasound treatment to reach the precise depth in the dermis. The results are highly targeted yet non-invasive, requiring no recovery time.

How are Sofwave Sessions Performed?

30-45 minutes in our relaxing, Quad A-certified Manhattan office may be all you need for a Sofwave session! 

First, Dr. Sung may apply a numbing serum based on your personal preference and the extensiveness of the treatment. He then applies an ultrasound gel to the treatment areas. He adjusts the Sofwave equipment settings to cater to your specific skin type and goals while monitoring real-time skin temperature for safety. During the session, you’ll feel a gradual warmth as the device is placed for short intervals. While there may be quick moments of discomfort, they will last only a fraction of a second.

Additional FAQ About Sofwave Treatments

keyboard_arrow_down

Typically, the visual advantages of Sofwave treatments last around one year. While the collagen your body produces doesn’t dissipate after 12 months, most clients choose to refresh their look with annual visits to our Manhattan office.

How do I prepare for a Sofwave session?

keyboard_arrow_down

There are no major actions you need to take prior to arriving to our NYC office for your Sofwave session. Just be mindful that any cosmetics you wear will have to be fully removed. 

Do Sofwave procedures hurt​?

keyboard_arrow_down

The short answer is no, Sofwave procedures aren’t painful. While you may experience brief discomfort, the majority of the session can best be described as feeling a gentle warmth. 

How does Sofwave compare to Ultherapy? 

keyboard_arrow_down

Both Sofwave and Ultherapy Prime are in-demand ultrasound-based treatments we offer from our New York office. The two share many similarities, as each is FDA-cleared to lift and firm skin by stimulating collagen. What sets Sofwave apart from Ultherapy is the depth to which the ultrasound energy reaches—Sofwave focuses primarily on upper levels for a gentle yet effective solution that can take as little as half an hour. Comparatively, Ultherapy is designed to penetrate more deeply, allowing Dr. Sung to help tighten muscles for dramatic, sculpted results. 

Thankfully, you won’t have to decide right here and now between Sofwave and Ultherapy Prime. We welcome you to visit our New York facilities to meet with Dr. Sung. Based on your aesthetic objectives and his examination, he can advise which ultrasound-based procedure would best fit. 

Do Sofwave treatments “melt fat”? 

keyboard_arrow_down

To clarify, Sofwave doesn’t “melt fat.” However, it can provide a firmer appearance by increasing your body’s collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, and subtly lifting areas that may have lost some definition over time.

Is Sofwave technology FDA-approved? 

keyboard_arrow_down

Based on positive clinical study results, Sofwave has been FDA-approved for numerous types of aesthetic treatments. These include improving the laxity of skin on upper arms; lifting skin around the eyebrows, below the chin, and neck; and reducing the visibility of cellulite. To learn more about the various FDA-approved uses of Sofwave, check out their news section or direct any questions to Dr. Sung.
