'These days,

I’ve noticed that

more people around me are getting Sofwave..

Is there anything

significantly different from

other lifting procedures?'

Recently, interest in Sofwave treatments has been rising rapidly.

Sofwave is a lifting treatment based on ultrasound.

However, it differs somewhat from conventional ultrasound lifting treatments in how the energy is delivered and which skin layer is targeted.

Naturally, this also means there may be differences in the effects that can be expected.

From now on, I will explain in detail the principles of Sofwave and how it differs from conventional ultrasound lifting treatments.

What is Sofwave?

Sofwave

Sofwave is a treatment that uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to induce collagen regeneration within the skin, helping improve skin elasticity and lifting.

Unlike conventional ultrasound lifting treatments, which often deliver energy to deeper layers of the skin,

Sofwave is characterized by primarily targeting the relatively shallow dermal layer, at a depth of approximately 1.5 mm.

The tissue exposed to this thermal stimulation promotes the production of new collagen and elastic fibers during the recovery process.

Through this process, it is a lifting treatment based on the principle that skin texture and elasticity gradually improve over time.

How does it differ from conventional lifting treatments?

Sofwave differs from conventional ultrasound lifting treatments in how the energy is delivered and the depth at which it acts.

Characteristics of ultrasound energy

With conventional ultrasound devices such as Ultherapy, energy is concentrated in one area.

They primarily stimulate the deeper SMAS layer, focusing on improving facial contours.

Sofwave uses its proprietary ultrasound beam technology called SUPERB.

The direction in which Sofwave’s SUPERB acts

Rather than concentrating energy at a single focal point,

this technology simultaneously delivers multiple parallel ultrasound beams to form seven cylindrical thermal coagulation zones at a depth of approximately 1.5 mm in the skin.

Because it can deliver uniform thermal stimulation across a relatively broad area, rather than limiting it to specific points within the dermal layer,

it may more consistently induce the collagen denaturation and regeneration processes, and is also advantageous for creating an environment that promotes the reformation of elastic fibers.

In addition, because the energy can be distributed uniformly at a consistent depth, it may reduce the possibility of tissue damage that can occur when heat becomes excessively concentrated in one area.

It also has relatively favorable characteristics in terms of reducing skin-surface stimulation and discomfort during treatment.

In other words, unlike conventional ultrasound devices, which tend to focus primarily on improving facial contours,

it is designed to be more suitable for improving skin texture, fine lines, and early loss of elasticity.

As such, it is also a suitable lifting treatment for university students and people in their late 20s to early 30s who want to receive treatment without significant 부담 for preventive aging care.

How long does it last?

With Sofwave, collagen regeneration often continues for approximately one to three months after treatment, with effects being felt gradually. 

The duration varies depending on skin condition, the rate of aging, lifestyle habits, and other factors, but it generally lasts approximately six months to one year.

However, because aging continues without stopping, it is recommended to receive maintenance treatments at appropriate intervals according to your skin condition in order to maintain the effects for longer.

The appropriate interval for maintenance treatments may differ from person to person, so we recommend determining this after a thorough consultation with an experienced medical professional.

Sofwave at the Shinchon Station Dermatology Clinic uses ultrasound, but it employs proprietary technology.

It is a treatment that differs from conventional ultrasound lifting in both the layer on which it acts and its purpose.

Because it primarily acts on the relatively shallow dermis, it is suitable for undergoing treatment with less 부담, and another noteworthy feature is that it can help manage overall skin elasticity evenly.

If you are looking for a lifting treatment that you can receive comfortably and consistently without 부담 about pain or downtime, Sofwave may certainly be helpful.
