What is Sofwave?

Hello.

I am a dermatologist and clinic director with 10 years of experience.

As interest in lifting procedures grows,

patients frequently ask me, ‘What kind of procedure is Sofwave?’

and ‘How is it different from Ultherapy or Shrink?’

Due to these frequent questions, today

I will explain Sofwave lifting from a medical professional's perspective.

What is Sofwave Lifting?

Sofwave is

a lifting procedure that uses **High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)**

to deliver energy to the **mid-dermis** of the skin.

✔️ Minimizes epidermal damage

✔️ Induces the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermal layer

✔️ Aims to improve skin elasticity and fine lines

While traditional ultrasound lifting devices focus on the SMAS or fat layers,

Sofwave can be seen as a device that focuses more on ‘improving dermal elasticity’.

Core Principles of Sofwave

Sofwave

precisely delivers ultrasound thermal energy

to the dermal layer at a depth of approximately 1.5mm.

Through this thermal stimulation,

collagen denaturation occurs,

which then induces neocollagenesis during the regeneration process.

Over time, you can expect the skin to become firmer and more even.

Clinical Advantages of Sofwave

Having performed various lifting procedures for over 10 years,

I can summarize the advantages of Sofwave as follows:

✔️ Almost no downtime

→ Face washing, makeup, and daily activities are possible immediately after the procedure

✔️ Minimized skin surface damage

→ Very low risk of pigmentation or burns

✔️ Natural elasticity improvement

→ Improves fine lines and elasticity without fat layer loss,

can be performed on all areas of the face and body

✔️ Suitable for ultrasound lifting beginners

→ Relatively low pain burden

How is the Procedure Performed?

The general Sofwave procedure is as follows:

1️⃣ Medical consultation and skin condition diagnosis

2️⃣ Designing the treatment area

3️⃣ Application of exclusive gel

4️⃣ Sofwave treatment

5️⃣ Soothing care

The procedure takes about 40 minutes and is quite comfortable.

Regarding Pain and Recovery Time

Although there are individual differences,

most people describe it as a slight stinging heat sensation.

✔️ Low possibility of bruising or swelling

✔️ No recovery period needed

However, depending on skin condition and pain sensitivity,

it is important for the medical staff to adjust the treatment intensity.

I Recommend Sofwave for These People

✔️ Those with overall decreased skin elasticity

✔️ Those who want to improve fine lines and skin texture

✔️ Those who prefer natural changes over excessive lifting

✔️ Those looking for a procedure that does not disrupt daily life

A Word from the Director

For lifting procedures,

rather than saying **‘one device is better than another’**,

✔️ Current skin condition

✔️ Age

✔️ Skin thickness and elasticity

✔️ Desired improvement direction

it is most important to choose based on these factors.

Sofwave, too,

rather than expecting the same results for everyone,

when performed on appropriate candidates after an accurate diagnosis,

yields highly satisfactory results.

Before the procedure, I strongly recommend

having a thorough consultation to choose the lifting method that best suits you.
