Sofwave™ in San Juan Capistrano
AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS
The older you get, the more you notice that your facial features are not as firm as they used to be. The skin starts losing its firmness, the cheeks lose their definition, and the jowls seem to become more prominent.
This is very common, as the skin cells can no longer regenerate as quickly once you reach the third decade of life. While the aging process cannot be fully stopped, it can be slowed down with procedures like Sofwave™.
Available at Dermacare Medical Aesthetics in San Juan Capistrano, Sofwave™ can help restore the skin to its natural beauty.
Candidates for Sofwave™
Good candidates for Sofwave™ are people who have mild to moderate loose skin and want a gentle lift and tighter look.
The treatment is often recommended for those who notice their skin is beginning to sag, but do not want to add extra volume to their features. The option is generally a good choice for those hoping for natural results, as it reverses some signs of aging.
Individuals with sun-damaged skin might also benefit from Sofwave™, especially women and men with fine lines and wrinkles. Most patients are in their 30s or older, but a consultation with Dermacare professionals can determine whether you are a candidate for this procedure. It is also recommended for those looking for a facial lifting effect without surgical intervention.
Patients should be healthy and have realistic expectations of the Sofwave™ procedure and their goals. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also show caution before using the treatment and wait at least three months after giving birth.
If you have an active infection on your skin, such as an acne breakout or rash, it is recommended that you postpone the Sofwave™ treatment.
How Sofwave™ Works
Sofwave™ is a treatment offered at Dermacare Medical Aesthetics in San Juan Capistrano. It is often recommended for tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles. The treatment uses gentle ultrasound energy that warms the deeper layers of the skin, helping to boost collagen and make the skin look firmer and smoother.
This helps promote the production of new collagen and elastin, offering a more youthful aesthetic.
The procedure is non-surgical, lasting about 45 minutes in the office. As the laser activates the healing process of your skin, it can clear various imperfections, regardless of your skin type. It is also a customizable treatment, with each level of the procedure ensuring you obtain the desired results.
The Sofwave™ treatment also includes an integrated SofCool™ system, which keeps the top area of the skin from burning. This increases comfort and diminishes potential side effects, making it a good alternative to surgical facelifts.
Sofwave™ Recovery
As Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment, the potential for downtime is minimal, with most patients being able to return to their routine immediately.
Expect some swelling and redness to occur within the first one to three days after the procedure, along with some mild pain or sensitivity. This is a normal reaction to the laser activating the skin’s natural healing system, starting the new collagen production. These effects typically subside within two to three days after the treatment.
Recovery should be complete within a few days, with good skincare being crucial. Follow the post-care instructions, be patient, and keep the skin clean and hydrated. Make sure to avoid extensive exercise and hot baths or showers for the next 24 hours after treatment.
Sofwave™ Results
Sofwave™ results can be seen three to six months after treatment, once the collagen regeneration and maturing process begins to take place. Skin quality of the treated area will continue to build over time, so patience and reasonable expectations are key.
Results can last from six to twelve months, but proper skincare is essential to maintain them. Consider using medical-grade skincare featuring peptides, retinoids, growth factors, and antioxidants, as they promote collagen production. Incorporate SPF 30+ in your routine, as it prevents UV rays from damaging existing collagen bonds.
A consultation is essential, as it can determine the route needed to get the perfect look.
Maintenance sessions might be necessary at least once or twice per year to maintain the results. If your skin is in good shape and only a little loose, having a Sofwave™ treatment once a year is usually enough to keep your results looking great.

Is the Sofwave™ Procedure Painful?
How Many Sofwave™ Treatments Will I Need?
Can I Combine Sofwave™ with Injectable Treatments?
Can I Use Sofwave™ as a Preventive Anti-Aging Treatment?
Yes, many patients get Sofwave™ treatments before they develop noticeable signs of aging. Consider getting it in your late 20s to early 30s, as it improves your declining production of collagen. Preventative treatments allow you to remodel your features before the skin laxity sets in. This decreases the need for more invasive treatments in the long run.
