Sofwave uses an ultrasound beam to heat the tissue at a depth of 1.5 mm under the skin. The heat creates controlled damage, which stimulates the body’s healing response, jump-starting new collagen production and remodeling existing collagen.
Collagen, a tightly wound peptide chain of three amino acids, makes up as much as 80% of skin. In the dermal layer, collagen creates the framework that connects cells to each other, preserving skin’s volume, elasticity, and moisture.
The body’s collagen production and elastin synthesis naturally begin to slow in your 20s, and environmental factors like sun damage and free radicals accelerate the breakdown of these structural proteins. Thinning collagen and elastin weaken skin’s structure, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Sofwave’s fractional ultrasound heat contracts the collagen in your skin and stimulates the tissue repair response in your fibroblast cells, which ramps up new collagen production.Â
The result is often tighter, more lifted skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment also offers some skin-thickening effects that can reduce the appearance of mild cellulite and acne scars.
