What is Skin Tightening and when is it recommended?
What is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure that reduces or eliminates sagging or loose skin. The process stimulates collagen and elastin production in the body, which can tighten the underlying tissues and make skin appear firmer, smoother, and younger looking. While there are many different types of skin tightening procedures available, we believe that Sofwave™ is the most effective, the safest, and the least invasive.
How is Skin Tightening Performed with Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ skin tightening is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the body. Over time, this results in smoother, firmer skin and can reduce or eliminate wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging and loose skin. Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology to deliver ultrasound energy to precise, targeted areas of the skin. This energy penetrates the mid-dermal layer of the skin and heats the tissue, stimulating natural biological healing responses in the body. The process is safe, painless, and effective and can be used on all skin types and on many different parts of the body.
Am I a Good Candidate for Skin or Body Tightening with Sofwave™?
You might be a good candidate if you have loose or sagging skin, fine lines, or wrinkles that are affecting your confidence or self-esteem. The ideal candidates for skin and body tightening procedures are people who have:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Fine lines or wrinkles
- Good overall health
- No skin infections, rashes, or lesions
- Realistic expectations about the results of the procedure
- No evidence of severe sun damage
What are the Benefits and Risks of Skin Tightening Procedures?
The benefits of undergoing a skin tightening procedure are:
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin tightness
- Firmer and smoother skin
- More defined jawline and neck
Most people do not experience any negative side effects, but if they do, they are mild and temporary, including skin redness, swelling, and bruising or a tingling sensation.
What to Expect at Your Consultation with Our Skin Care Specialists
Before we schedule an appointment for skin tightening, you will meet with us for an initial consultation. You will meet with one of our skin care specialists, who will discuss your concerns and goals, take your full health history, and ask you about your habits and lifestyle. We may use VECTRA 3D imaging technology to take digital images of the targeted treatment areas and give you an accurate portrayal of your post-procedure results. We will then go over the risks and benefits of Softwave™ treatment and make sure you understand what to expect from the results. We recommend avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare products in the days leading up to your treatment.

What Happens During and After Skin Tightening with Sofwave™?
We ask that you arrive at your treatment session with clean skin free from makeup, lotions, serums, deodorants, or other products. We may begin by applying a topical numbing gel to the treatment areas. Each treatment usually takes between 30-45 minutes. Our technician will use a small, handheld device to apply ultrasound energy to your skin. You may feel pressure or warmth as the device moves around your skin, but you should not feel any pain or discomfort. After treatment, you can immediately resume your normal daily routine. Most people don’t experience any side effects; however, you might have mild skin warmth or flushing. You should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen as well as stay hydrated. Results may develop gradually over the next two or three weeks or months.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Sofwave™ offers immediate initial improvements, such as a subtle glow or more refreshed skin. It also offers significant long-term results that should be apparent in the three to six months after treatment. Results can last a year or longer depending on your age, health, lifestyle, and skin condition. We recommend yearly touch-ups to maintain your results.
