Beginning as early as your 20s, collagen production slows. This means that the skin’s elasticity will gradually decline, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging or drooping skin. Advanced technology allows patients to address these signs of aging without requiring surgery. Sofwave is just one option that patients can benefit from through CDAM.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave works using Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology called SUPERB. This technology is an advanced and precise form of ultrasound energy which passes through the epidermis, or surface layer of the skin, to heat mid-dermal tissues. This stimulates new collagen production for a more youthful appearance. At the same time, Sofwave’s proprietary cooling mechanism, Sofcool, protects the skin. This makes Sofwave safe and suitable for all skin types and reduces any healing time after the procedure.

What to Expect with Sofwave

During Sofwave treatment, a handheld device is used to direct the ultrasound energy to the intended treatment area. Prior to treatment, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to reduce any discomfort. The Sofcool technology also helps to reduce any sensations of heat during the procedure, making Sofwave treatment very comfortable compared to other options. The treatment is non-invasive and can be completed quickly in our office, with most appointments lasting about 30-45 minutes.

Sofwave Results

Sofwave requires little to no downtime. It is generally not necessary to complete any specific post-procedure skincare steps. However, your provider may recommend options that could help enhance your results. You can immediately return to your normal routine after Sofwave treatment.

Most patients begin seeing their Sofwave results within three months of their procedure. Sofwave stimulates new collagen production, which improves elasticity and reduces wrinkles or fine lines. Collagen will continue to regenerate over time, meaning that results gradually improve over the course of about three months after the treatment is complete. Sofwave treatment may be performed to improve the appearance of sagging or drooping eyebrows, skin laxity in the submental area or neck, and fine lines or wrinkles throughout the face and neck.

I have been going to see Dr. Kalimullah and Jennifer since 2017. They have been amazing and have provided the best service and keeping my face looking fresh. Their expertise is incredible and everything they have done for me has been immaculate – never any issues with the laser treatments or injections. They are also really mindful and conservative to ensure I look like me, but just the best version of me. Love this place. Only trust my face to them!

My experience at CDAM was very pleasant. Dr. Cavanaugh and his staff were warm and inviting. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very gentle, making sure I was comfortable at all times. The medical assistant was nice and explained all the aftercare instructions in detail. My follow up appointment was seamless and efficient as well. I will be returning to CDAM in the future for more aesthetic procedures!
