How Sofwave Addresses Early Skin Laxity
Sofwave works by delivering ultrasound energy to the mid dermis, the layer of skin responsible for collagen production. This energy gently heats the tissue, triggering the body’s natural repair response and stimulating new collagen formation.
Because Sofwave targets the structural support layer of the skin without damaging the surface, it is effective at improving firmness while preserving natural texture and facial movement. This makes it ideal for patients who are noticing early signs of sagging but still have good skin quality.
Why Mild to Moderate Laxity Responds Best
Patients with mild to moderate laxity tend to see the most noticeable improvement from Sofwave. At this stage, collagen fibers are weakened but not severely depleted. Stimulating new collagen allows the skin to regain support before laxity becomes more advanced.
Sofwave does not remove excess skin or reposition tissue the way surgery does. Instead, it improves skin strength and elasticity from within. For patients whose laxity is still developing, this approach can deliver visible tightening and improved definition.
Areas That Benefit Most From Treatment
Sofwave can be used on several areas where early laxity commonly appears. These areas respond well because they rely heavily on collagen structure for firmness.
Common treatment areas include:
- Lower face and jawline
- Brow area
- Neck and submental region
- Cheeks and midface
Patients often describe their results as looking more lifted and refreshed rather than tight or overcorrected.
Treatment Experience and Downtime
One of the biggest advantages of Sofwave is that it fits easily into a busy lifestyle. Treatments are performed in-office and typically take under an hour, depending on the areas treated.
During the session, patients may feel brief warmth or tingling as ultrasound energy is delivered. Built-in cooling technology helps protect the skin surface and maintain comfort.
There is little to no downtime after treatment. Most patients return to work, social activities, and normal skincare routines the same day.
Timeline for Visible Improvement
Sofwave results develop gradually because collagen remodeling takes time. Patients with mild to moderate laxity often notice early improvements in firmness within several weeks.
More noticeable tightening typically appears around twelve weeks after treatment, as new collagen matures and strengthens the skin. Improvements may continue for several months beyond this point.
Because results look natural and develop slowly, changes blend seamlessly with the patient’s appearance.
