Sofwave vs Ultherapy for neck tightening? (Photo)

This is a complex question and very patient dependent, considering what your goals are and what canvas you have to start with. Sofwave I’ve found to be superior in skin tightening for less cost and a quicker treatment. The Ultherapy can theoretically treat deeper into the muscle, but my experience is that this effect is not dramatic and someone with banding/musle laxity/in need of a true lift is better off with a skin treatment like Sofwave or SylfirmX along with a more effective deeper tightening such as a MyEllevate or formal short scar facelift.

Thanks for your question. We had a decade of experience with Ultherapy before upgrading our technology to Sofwave. Sofwave represents an advancement in the micro-focused ultrasound energy delivery. We have performed Sofwave since September 2023 and have found the results to be more consistent AND more impressive than what we had achieved with the older Ultherapy technology. We have performed many hundreds of treatments and have had no adverse effects as well. Most clients do the "Full Face and Neck" option. A standard treatment is 2 passes but a more advanced protocol treatment would be 3 to 4 passes. Discuss with your provider the number of passes they will be providing as this can affect results. I tend to do the full 4 passes on anyone over the age of 45. Depending on your age and degree of skin laxity, it may take either one or two sessions to get the result desired. Thereafter, a maintenance treatment every 1 to 2 years (depending on age) is a great way to further enhance your result as this will replace much of the collagen and elastin you had lost during that time due to the aging process.
