SOFWAVE SKIN TIGHTENING

At Atalla Plastic Surgery | Skin + Laser, we recognize that with the natural process of aging comes the creation of fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and laxity that all contribute to an older appearance.  We also realize that surgical intervention is not always the solution for some clients due to things like not wanting to undergo surgery, health issues, and financial barriers. This is where non- or minimally-invasive, in-office procedures come into play.  Enter Sofwave, exclusively offered in Bowling Green at Atalla Plastic Surgery.

Sofwave is a treatment that approaches skin rejuvenation through its Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPURB ™ technology. It’s FDA cleared and clinically proven to remodel collagen, which improves facial lines and wrinkles, and lifts the eyebrows, submental, and neck area. Skin in the arm, thigh, and knee areas also respond positively to this treatment. The Sofwave system delivers energy precisely to the mid-dermal layer of the skin, creating a controlled thermal injury that triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen production. Because of the precise depth of treatment, fat is not compromised. Sofwave uses high-frequency ultrasound waves and gentle precision to help protect the superficial layer of the skin while treating the underlying tissues.

Most patients who undergo this treatment are adults, aged 30-60 who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity, facial lines and wrinkles, or skin laxity in other areas of the body including the arms, thighs and knees.

Treatments typically take 45-60 minutes, and require no down-time, although skin may appear pink for several hours following the treatment. The built-in cooling technology that protects the skin’s surface combined with external cooling and the use of nitrous oxide makes it a more comfortable option compared to other skin-tightening technologies.

Unlike some laser therapies, Sofwave can be performed on any skin type and during any season as skin tone, light and heat do not affect its safety of efficacy.
