Introduction

Introduction to Sofwave

There are several types of treatments you can choose from to get rid of various physical signs of aging. Many of these treatments use needles or incisions in surgery, requiring weeks to months of recovery time. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, or sagging skin, you can address those signs without the need for those procedures by choosing Sofwave. This procedure helps address early signs of aging so you can continue looking more youthful through a series of painless, non-invasive procedures.

At the Georgia Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we proudly treat patients across Macon, Warner Robins, Houston County, Bibb County, and the surrounding area.

What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared cosmetic treatment that tightens skin, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin laxity using high-frequency ultrasound technology. The device administering the ultrasound can target the body or face, stimulating new collagen and elastin production in the mid-dermis layer of the skin.

Essentially, ultrasound energy heats the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen production to give you a natural-looking, smoother, and toned appearance. The device includes a built-in cooling system that protects your skin’s surface while simultaneously targeting deeper layers.

Sofwave is effective on all skin tones and types.

Your skin condition, laxity, and elasticity will be assessed, you will discuss your aesthetic goals and desired results from the procedure, and your medical history will be reviewed.
