Most Patients Need Only One Treatment
One of the advantages of Sofwave is that most patients achieve noticeable tightening from a single session. This is because the ultrasound energy reaches a specific layer of the dermis where collagen fibers are strongest and most responsive. As the body begins producing new collagen, the skin gradually becomes firmer and more lifted.
In many cases, one treatment provides enough stimulation to improve fine lines, early laxity and mild sagging. The results appear gradually, so patients begin seeing changes several weeks after treatment and continue to improve over time.
When a Second Treatment May Be Helpful
Although one treatment works well for many patients, some individuals may benefit from a second session to enhance their results. This is especially true for patients with more advanced skin laxity, deeper wrinkles or areas that need additional tightening.
A second treatment is typically scheduled several months after the first. By that time, the initial round of collagen production has already begun, and an additional session can build on that foundation for even greater improvement. Dr. Ryan Bloch evaluates each patient’s progress before recommending an additional treatment.
Factors That Determine the Number of Sessions
The number of Sofwave sessions you need depends on several important factors. Understanding these helps clarify why some people only need one treatment while others may choose two.
1. Degree of Skin Laxity
Patients with mild laxity often get the best results from a single treatment. Those with more noticeable sagging or wrinkles may want additional sessions for stronger tightening.
2. Treatment Area
Some areas respond quickly to Sofwave, such as the brow or jawline. Others, like the neck, may require more collagen stimulation to achieve visible lifting.
3. Age and Collagen Quality
Younger patients tend to need fewer sessions because their collagen production is naturally stronger. Older patients may benefit from a second session to reinforce the collagen rebuilding process.
4. Personal Aesthetic Goals
Some patients want subtle refinement, while others want a more lifted and sculpted appearance. Your goal will help determine the number of sessions recommended.
How Treatment Plans Are Designed at Treat Medspa
At Treat Medspa, Sofwave treatment plans begin with a detailed assessment of your skin quality, facial structure and the areas you want to improve. Dr. Ryan Bloch considers your collagen health, elasticity and long term goals before recommending the number of sessions.
This individualized approach ensures the treatment is neither overdone nor underperformed. Patients receive only the number of sessions needed to reach their desired level of tightening and lifting.
What to Expect Between Sessions
After your first Sofwave treatment, your body begins producing new collagen over the following weeks. Most patients notice early improvements within one month, with full results appearing around the twelve week mark.
If a second treatment is recommended, it is usually performed after this initial improvement phase. This allows the skin to benefit fully from the first round of collagen production before adding more stimulation.
Why Sofwave Is Efficient and Long Lasting
Many tightening treatments require multiple appointments to see results, but Sofwave’s deeper and more controlled ultrasound delivery makes it efficient for most patients. Since the collagen it builds lasts for one to three years, the number of sessions needed is far lower than many other non surgical options.
Conclusion
Most patients need only one Sofwave treatment to achieve noticeable tightening and lifting. A second session may be recommended for those with more significant laxity or who want enhanced results. At Treat Medspa, our team designs personalized Sofwave plans based on your skin condition and goals, ensuring that you receive exactly the number of treatments needed for the best possible outcome.
