Novomed provides Sofwave Treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi as a non-invasive skin-rejuvenation option for people looking to improve skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall firmness. Novomed has specialized aesthetic and dermatology facilities across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that uses patented Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver controlled ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis. The treatment targets the skin at an approximate depth of 1.5 mm, where the thermal effect stimulates remodeling of collagen and elastin.
Sofwave also incorporates Sofcool™ cooling technology to help protect the skin’s surface during treatment. It is designed to improve the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles and can also be used for lifting the eyebrows, neck, and submental area according to the device’s cleared indications.
The treatment is needle-free and non-invasive, with little to no interruption to normal daily activities. A typical treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Who Needs Sofwave Treatment?
Sofwave may be suitable for adults who want non-invasive skin tightening and gradual skin rejuvenation without surgery. It may benefit people experiencing:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity or sagging.
- Fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the face.
- Reduced skin firmness and elasticity.
- Early signs of facial aging.
- Sagging around the jawline, neck, or under-chin area.
- Drooping or heaviness around the eyebrow area.
- People who want to improve skin firmness without needles or surgery.
- Those looking for a treatment with minimal downtime.
Sofwave is generally more suitable for mild to moderate laxity. People with significant loose skin may require a surgical or alternative treatment, depending on their condition.
A qualified dermatologist or aesthetic doctor should assess your skin and facial structure to determine whether Sofwave is appropriate for your needs.
Steps of Sofwave Treatment for Skin Tightening & Rejuvenation
The Sofwave treatment procedure is non-invasive and typically takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The exact protocol may vary according to the patient’s skin condition and the doctor’s assessment.
- Consultation and skin assessment – The doctor evaluates your skin laxity, wrinkles, treatment areas, and aesthetic goals.
- Cleansing the skin – The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and dried before the procedure.
- Application of ultrasound gel – A conductive ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area to allow efficient energy delivery.
- Sofwave application – The handpiece is placed on the skin, delivering controlled ultrasound energy through the SUPERB™ technology to the mid-dermis.
- Integrated cooling – Sofcool™ cooling helps protect the skin’s surface and improve treatment comfort while the ultrasound energy creates controlled thermal zones in the dermis.
- Treatment of the selected areas – The doctor systematically treats the planned areas, such as the face, neck, eyebrow region, or under-chin area, depending on the treatment plan.
- Post-treatment care – The gel is removed and the skin is cleaned. Temporary redness or swelling may occur and generally resolves on its own.
- Follow-up – Your doctor may recommend a follow-up assessment. Sofwave’s collagen-remodeling effects develop gradually, with continued improvement commonly assessed over the following weeks and months.
