Number of treatments and duration of results?

Question

Hi, I received a consult and was told Sofwave requires 3 sessions 6 weeks apart and the results last for years. In my research I see most suggesting one treatment with a possible second then maintenance each year. Can you help clarify? I am early 50s with mild sagging and take great care of my skin.

Thanks for your excellent question! Each Sofwave session will produce a very significant amount of collagen with little to no downtime which is so wonderful. The number of sessions recommended will depend on a few factors. he most important is how much collagen and skin laxity is there to start with? Older clients or those with more sun damage are more likely to need additional sessions in order to achieve the desired results. On the other hand, a 35 year old is more likely to do just fine with a single session. In your early 50's with "mild sagging" you might do just fine with one session- you could wait 3 months to see what you think (because 6 weeks is not showing you your full result), then decide whether to do a second session. Timing of maintenance will also vary according to age and lifestyle. It's perfectly fine to do it yearly so that you are less likely to see the return of fine lines and laxity. However, a 35 year old may find s/he can go 2 years or more before repeating it. Using excellent skin care and being careful about sun exposure will also extend the duration of results. I hope that helps!
