Intro
If you are considering Sofwave treatment in Salt Lake City, you are probably looking for a simple answer: can this treatment improve skin laxity without surgery or downtime?
At Saltz Plastic Surgery, we walk patients through exactly what to expect before treatment, during the appointment, and in the weeks that follow so they can make informed decisions.
What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
It uses SUPERB™ technology to deliver controlled energy at approximately 1.5 mm depth in the mid-dermis, where new collagen and elastin production can be stimulated over time.
Integrated cooling helps protect the skin surface during treatment.
What Happens During Treatment?
A typical visit begins with a consultation to confirm whether Sofwave is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Ultrasound gel is applied, and the handpiece is moved across the treatment area as controlled ultrasound energy is delivered.
Most appointments take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
What Does Sofwave Feel Like?
Most patients describe Sofwave as a warm or tingling sensation that is brief and tolerable.
Most individuals do not require numbing, though comfort expectations can be reviewed during consultation.
What Is Recovery Like?
There is little to no downtime after a Sofwave treatment.
Some patients experience mild redness or temporary sensitivity, but most return to normal activities immediately.
When Will You See Results?
Results develop gradually rather than overnight, with clinically meaningful improvement at ~8–12 weeks and continued enhancement over 3–6 months as new collagen forms.
This gradual progression is part of what helps the treatment look natural.
Who Is Sofwave Best For?
Sofwave may be a good option for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible improvement without surgery and without significant interruption to their schedule.
Why Patients Choose Sofwave
It fits into a busy lifestyle.
It offers natural-looking improvement over time.
It avoids the recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
