Dr. Margo Weishar Explains The Science Behind Sofwave
What is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is a non-surgical skin tightening solution that uses ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen production deep in the skin. It’s FDA-cleared for reducing fine lines and wrinkles and was also recently cleared for improving cellulite.
Unlike lasers or RF microneedling, which can involve downtime, discomfort, or skin damage, Sofwave™ delivers energy precisely where it’s needed—safely heating the mid-dermis at 1.5mm depth while keeping the surface cool and protected.
Potential Risks
Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types. Side effects are minimal and may include:
- Mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment, resolving within hours
- Temporary warmth during the procedure
No significant side effects or downtime are associated with this treatment.
The Results
Most patients see initial improvement within a few weeks. However, the most dramatic results develop over 12 weeks as collagen regeneration continues. Clinical studies have shown visible results even after just one treatment session.
