Does Sofwave tighten jowls?
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening, Jowls Treatment, Miadstone, Kent
In less than an hour, you can benefit from tighter and firmer skin across your face, neck, and chest without any need for surgery or downtime. Sofwave utilises ultrasound energy to generate a stimulating thermal effect in the deeper layers of the skin. This remodels and rebuilds collagen and elastin, two essential skin proteins that serve to strengthen and lift the skin while improving its elasticity and firmness. As the gold-standard treatment for non-surgical skin tightening, results can last up to a year after treatment. So, how exactly does it work? What can you expect from treatment? And is it an effective option for jowls? Read on for everything you need to know…
Understanding Jowls and Their Causes
Jowls refer to the sagging skin that appears along the jawline, a common sign of ageing. This sagging occurs due to the natural decline in skin elasticity and collagen production as we age. Other contributing factors include genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices such as smoking or poor nutrition. Over time, the skin loses its firmness, leading to a droopy appearance around the lower face and neck.
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. It uses proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis layer of the skin. Unlike some other skin-tightening treatments, Sofwave focuses on targeting specific layers without damaging the skin’s surface. This approach minimises discomfort and reduces the risk of side effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance without undergoing surgery.
How Does Sofwave Work?
The treatment works by sending ultrasound energy into the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the mid-dermis. This energy heats the tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of new collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As new collagen forms, it gradually tightens and lifts the treated area, leading to a firmer, more youthful appearance. The ultrasound energy used in Sofwave is designed to target the optimal depth of skin tissue for effective collagen stimulation, ensuring results while maintaining patient safety.
Can Sofwave Lift and Tighten Jowls?
Yes, Sofwave can be effective in lifting and tightening jowls. By targeting the mid-dermal tissue, where collagen is most abundant, Sofwave helps to tighten loose skin around the jawline and neck. Patients typically notice an improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in sagging. However, it’s important to note that results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the jowls. For some, Sofwave may offer significant lifting and tightening, while others may require additional treatments or alternative therapies for optimal results.
What to Expect from Treatment
One of the key advantages of Sofwave is its minimal downtime. The procedure is relatively quick, often taking less than an hour, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately afterward. Some individuals may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days.
Results from Sofwave treatment are gradual, with improvements becoming noticeable within a few weeks as new collagen forms and the skin’s texture improves. Full results can take up to three months to develop. Depending on the patient’s skin condition and goals, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired outcome.
Sofwave offers a promising solution for those looking to address sagging jowls without invasive surgery. By stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin, this non-invasive treatment can help restore a more youthful jawline and facial contour. With minimal downtime and a relatively comfortable procedure, Sofwave is an appealing option for individuals seeking subtle yet effective improvements. As always, consulting with a professional can help determine the best approach based on individual needs and expectations.
