How long until I see Sofwave results?
Some patients notice initial skin tightening within 1-2 weeks, but the full results develop over 3-6 months as your body produces new collagen. Sofwave uses SUPERB ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen at precisely 1.5mm depth, triggering a natural healing and tightening response that continues long after your treatment.
How many Sofwave treatments do I need?
Most patients achieve excellent results with just one Sofwave treatment. This is one of the key advantages of Sofwave - significant skin tightening and lifting with a single session and no downtime. Some patients with more advanced laxity may benefit from a second treatment after 6-12 months.
Is there downtime after Sofwave?
No. Sofwave is a no-downtime treatment. Most patients experience mild redness that resolves within a few hours. You can return to work, apply makeup, and resume all normal activities immediately after your session. This makes Sofwave ideal for patients who want skin tightening without the recovery time of surgical procedures.
How long do Sofwave results last?
Sofwave results can last 1-2 years or longer. The treatment stimulates your body's own collagen production, which provides lasting structural support. Results gradually evolve as natural aging continues, but most patients maintain noticeable improvement for at least 12-18 months. Good skincare habits (daily SPF, retinoids) help extend your results.
