How Sofwave™ Works

Skye Dermatology Ba June

Sofwave™ targets the mid-dermis with ultrasound energy, stimulating collagen production. The integrated Sofcool™ system protects the epidermis, providing a comfortable experience. This process effectively lifts and tightens the eyebrow, submental, and neck areas, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

The integrated Sofcool™ system ensures your comfort throughout the treatment, protecting the upper layers of skin during the process. It’s this perfect balance of effectiveness and care that makes Sofwave™ a favorite for patients seeking noticeable results without the downtime or discomfort typically associated with aesthetic treatments.

Sofwave™ is perfect for individuals in their 30s and older experiencing mild to moderate skin aging. It benefits those aiming to improve skin laxity without invasive procedures.

Before, During, and After

What To Expect Before a Sofwave™ Treatment

Before your Sofwave™ treatment in Athens, our team will review your medical history and discuss your skin concerns to ensure this procedure is right for you. We’ll identify the areas to be treated and explain the results you can anticipate. To prepare, avoid retinol or Retin-A products for at least five days before your appointment, and limit sun exposure, including tanning lotions and beds, for two weeks leading up to your session.

What To Expect During a Sofwave™ Treatment

Sofwave™ treatments are designed to be quick, comfortable, and hassle-free. Each session lasts just 30 to 45 minutes, making it easy to fit into even the busiest schedules. During the procedure, a specialized handpiece delivers gentle ultrasound energy to the targeted areas. You’ll feel a mild warming sensation on your skin, a feeling that most patients describe as comfortable and easy to tolerate. It’s an effective treatment designed with your comfort and convenience in mind.

What To Expect After a Sofwave™ Treatment

After Sofwave™, most patients can return to normal activities right away. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually fades within a few hours. Gentle skincare, good hydration, and daily high-SPF sunscreen are recommended, along with avoiding direct sun exposure. Skin continues to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases, enhancing texture and firmness. Following these aftercare steps helps maintain and maximize your Sofwave™ results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many guests can notice improvements after just one session, however number of recommended will be advised by your provider based on your unique skin condition and goals.

Sofwave treatments for the body typically require two or more sessions.

The procedure is generally well-tolerated. The integrated Sofcool™ system helps minimize discomfort, and a topical anesthetic can be applied for added comfort.

Patients may see some initial improvements in skin tightness and texture within a few weeks of treatment, but most patients notice final results after 12-16 weeks. This is because the body takes time to produce new collagen and elastin in response to the treatment, and these new structures accumulate over time.

Results can last up to a year after the initial 12 to 16 weeks period following the first treatment.  As we age, our collagen production decreases and so to continue to build & maintain that collagen, yearly maintenance is recommended.

An increase in collagen production will continue long after your Sofwave™ treatment, meaning you will continue to see improvements in your skin’s appearance and firmness over time. You should expect to enjoy the results from Sofwave™ for up to one year.

Got additional Botox on edges of forehead. Small lines filled around mouth. Makes me wish I got more done in my lips, but filling of lines is what I asked for. Great job!

I’ve had such a great experience with Coachlight and genuinely can’t recommend them enough. Meagan has been amazing with my skincare really taking the time to understand my skin, what I’m trying to accomplish, and recommends treatments that actually make sense for me. I always leave feeling like my skin is in the best hands. Jackie is equally incredible for injections. She’s knowledgeable, thoughtful, and never makes me feel like she’s trying to overdo anything. I really appreciate that she listens to what I want, explains everything, and keeps the results natural. Beyond Meagan and Jackie, everyone I’ve interacted with at Coachlight has been welcoming, professional, and so kind. It’s one of those places where you can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the experience they provide. I cannot say enough great things!!
