SkinTyte and Sofwave are revolutionary treatments like SkinTyte and Sofwave, which tighten, firm, and rejuvenate the skin non-invasively. Though these treatment options are similar, they have some unique distinctions between them—and they can also be combined for even more dramatic results.
At Maloney Plastic Surgery & Skin Care, we create customized treatment plans for every patient. We’ll consider your unique goals, skin type, and lifestyle and recommend the right aesthetic treatments for your needs. Here’s a closer look at the differences between SkinTyte and Sofwave, so you can better understand what these skin tightening procedures have to offer.
Treatment Technologies
Both SkinTyte and Sofwave heat the skin to trigger cellular regeneration and collagen production. SkinTyte works using infrared light to target the deeper layers of skin for moderate skin tightening, while Sofwave uses proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology to target the mid-dermis for more collagen stimulation. Both treatments are non-invasive and comfortable for patients.
Areas Treated
Sofwave can be used to treat areas such as the face, brows, neck, and chin, so it is appropriate for moderate degrees of skin laxity and softening deeper lines and wrinkles. SkinTyte is better for mild skin laxity and can treat a wider range of areas around the body, including the arms, abdomen, and thighs.
Treatment Timelines
SkinTyte is performed over a series of treatments, and about 6 treatments are usually needed to yield optimal results. Alternatively, Sofwave is a more intensive treatment that only requires about 1-2 initial treatments with annual or semi-annual maintenance after about one year.
Combining Treatments for Even Better Results
It is possible to combine SkinTyte and Sofwave treatment. Because each treatment targets different skin depths, you will see more dramatic results that last longer and improve skin laxity more evenly. These non-invasive treatments can also be combined with other aesthetic procedures like Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin treatment to further contour the face and address issues like hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and enlarged pores. To preserve the results of either SkinTyte or Sofwave (or both), you should maintain a consistent and gentle skincare routine and wear sunscreen daily to protect newly formed collagen.
