Sofwave in Buffalo, NY

Sofwave™ is an innovative, non-invasive treatment offered at the Aesthetic Associates Centre that uses ultrasound energy to rejuvenate and tighten skin. This advanced MedSpa treatment provides a safe, effective way to reduce wrinkles, lift sagging areas, and stimulate collagen production—all without surgery or downtime. Sofwave is FDA-cleared for different uses, allowing us to tighten your skin and improve texture safely!

Understanding the Sofwave Treatment

Sofwave™ works by remodeling collagen, effectively reducing facial lines and wrinkles while lifting the targeted area. Additionally, it stimulates the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid, both crucial for maintaining skin’s firmness and hydration.

Collagen plays a vital role in keeping skin firm, smooth, and resilient. It acts as the structural backbone of the skin, providing essential support. However, as we age, collagen naturally begins to break down. The body produces less of it, and the existing collagen becomes weaker and more fragmented. This reduction leads to a decline in skin elasticity, which causes fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, and sagging—key factors that make our skin appear older.

Sofwave promotes the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which rejuvenates the skin and helps reduce signs of aging. It can also diminish the appearance of cellulite, offering comprehensive benefits for skin renewal and lifting.

At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we can even utilize Sofwave in combination with other non-surgical devices to optimize rejuvenation and customize your treatment!

How Does Sofwave Work?

The Sofwave™ system uses ultrasound technology to precisely target the mid-dermal layers of your skin at a depth of 1.55 mm. The ultrasound energy passes safely through the surface layer (epidermis), where it heats the underlying mid-dermal tissue at an exact depth and temperature.

This targeted heat creates controlled zones that prompt the body’s natural healing process to kick in, a process known as neo-collagenesis. Essentially, this triggers your body to generate new collagen, which helps to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By lifting areas like the eyebrows, under the chin, and the neck, Sofwave gives you a more youthful appearance.

Sofcool™ Integrated Cooling for Safe Treatment

One of the benefits of Sofwave™ is its ability to treat skin without causing damage. The treatment features an integrated cooling mechanism known as Sofcool™, which keeps the upper layers of the skin cool and protected while the ultrasound energy heats the deeper tissues. This ensures that only the targeted dermal layers receive the necessary heat, minimizing any risk of burns or discomfort to the skin’s surface. These safeguards make Sofwave a comfortable and safe option for skin tightening.

The Procedure

The Sofwave™ treatment is a quick, convenient procedure lasting just 30-45 minutes, regardless of your skin type. It’s ideal for those with busy schedules looking for an effective skin rejuvenation solution. Unlike many other light-based therapies, which can potentially burn darker skin tones, Sofwave is safe for all skin types. As a result, it offers a versatile and inclusive solution.

Sofwave is an excellent choice for addressing early signs of skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging. It works by delivering ultrasound energy to targeted layers of the skin, encouraging the body’s natural regenerative processes. This stimulation promotes new collagen production, which is key to keeping the skin firm and resilient.

By boosting collagen renewal, Sofwave directly addresses one of the main causes of visible aging. The result is smoother skin, improved elasticity, and a gentle lift to sagging areas.

Whether you want to reduce signs of aging or simply rejuvenate your skin, Sofwave offers an efficient, non-invasive solution with minimal hassle. With no downtime, no aftercare, and noticeable results, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking effective skin rejuvenation with maximum convenience.

Results

You may notice results as early as one week after treatment, with ongoing improvements continuing for up to 12 weeks. For certain conditions, such as cellulite and acne scars, it may take longer to notice full results, and we may recommend multiple sessions, depending on your desired outcome.

The effects of Sofwave™ typically last for up to one year after a single treatment, providing long-term skin rejuvenation and tightening benefits.

The Benefits of Sofwave

Sofwave™ offers a range of benefits without the downsides of invasive procedures. With no surgery, needles, or downtime involved, you can walk out of the Aesthetic Associates Centre and resume your daily activities immediately—no aftercare required.

Typically, patients notice improvements after just one session. For some, a follow-up treatment a few weeks later can enhance the results.

Beyond its effectiveness, Sofwave is also comfortable. While you may feel a warm sensation during the treatment, there’s no bruising or lasting discomfort. This gentle experience makes Sofwave ideal for anyone concerned about pain or recovery time.

Sofwave Treatment Areas

  • Brow and Eyelid: Sofwave offers a non-surgical solution for lifting the brow and eyelid, making it an effective choice for those looking to address drooping or hooding of the eyes. The treatment lifts both the eyebrows and forehead to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.
  • Midface: Sofwave gently lifts and tightens the upper cheeks and midface, providing subtle facelift-like effects without surgery. It also enhances the look of the lower eyelids, making it a great option for those who want to refresh the midface area.
  • Jaw: For individuals looking to enhance their jawline, Sofwave firms and tightens the skin around the jaw. It also reduces the appearance of jowls, giving the jawline a more defined and lifted appearance.
  • Neck: Sofwave effectively targets the neck, lifting and tightening sagging skin in the neck and submental (under-chin) area. This results in a slimmer, more youthful look and helps reduce visible signs of aging in this common problem area.
  • Thighs: Many clients deal with cellulite, especially on the thighs. Cellulite is common, particularly among women, due to reduced estrogen levels affecting collagen production and weakening connective tissue. Sofwave works to strengthen these tissues, tightening the skin and reducing the appearance of cellulite for a smoother look.
