Enjoy non-invasive skin tightening treatment with Sofwave at Apex Dermatology
Kim and Khloe Kardashian are well-known celebrities who, thanks to their fame, have access to the best treatments. However, you don’t have to be a celebrity to enjoy some of the services they enjoy! This family duo has recently revealed their love for a revolutionary, non-invasive skin tightening treatment called Sofwave at Apex Dermatology of Westlake Village, California. Sofwave is designed to increase collagen and elastin production to ensure more youthful-looking skin in just a few treatments with our amazing protocols! Let’s look at how Sofwave skin tightening works in Apex Derm’s hands.
What is Sofwave?
Our team describes Sofwave as a new ultrasound skin-tightening technology that comfortably heats up and remodels the collagen beneath the surface of your skin without damaging its outermost layers. This means that Sofwave treatments can effectively target deep layers of the skin for maximum results while leaving the top layer intact. This makes it a safe and effective option for all skin types and pigment backgrounds.
How does the Sofwave technology work?
Sofwave uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The handheld device delivers precise energy to specific areas, triggering natural healing responses within the body. This response ultimately leads to increased collagen and elastin production, considered vital proteins for maintaining youthful-looking skin.
What are the benefits of Sofwave?
Sofwave has many advantages over other treatments on the market. It is:
- Non-invasive. The Sofwave treatment does not require injections or incisions, making it a safe and painless option for skin tightening. Just a few minutes of pre-numbing cream and then cooling and cool air provide excellent comfort during the treatment.
- Quick and convenient. Each treatment session takes only about 30 minutes, with no downtime required. You can easily fit a Sofwave session into a busy schedule without disrupting your daily routine.
- Effective. Most of our patients see visible results after just a single Sofwave treatment, with continued improvement occurring over the next few months as collagen production increases. A series of two treatments about 8 weeks apart is recommended for some patients.
- Long-lasting. The results of Sofwave treatments can last up to 18 months, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.
- Affordable. When you choose Sofwave, you choose a budget-friendly option when compared to other services, such as plastic surgeries, ensuring your treatments don’t break the bank.
Where can I learn more about Sofwave?
Our team works hard to ensure their patients have access to state-of-the-art technology and skills that provide amazing results in a less invasive and conservative manner than other treatments.
