"Softwave uses ultrasound. It only goes down a half a millimeter deep. Does not go to the level where you have fat. So there's zero risk of it damaging any cell membrane of fat and having you lose volume in your face. What I felt when I did Softwave, and I've done it twice, is it felt like my whole skin was energized. I don't know how else to explain that, but afterwards, I'd never felt anything like that before. It was like my whole face just felt energized. And I did notice a lift afterwards."

"Softwave is a very different type of technology. I could feel a difference hours after this treatment was done. I've never felt anything like that before, and I've had Morpheus 8 done, I've had multiple CO2 laser peels. This is very different. What this uses is ultrasound, so this is not radio frequency, it's not microneedling, it's ultrasound, and it only goes down about 1.5 mm, which is the depth of collagen production. Softwave helps to go down to the level of collagen."

"Softwave uses ultrasound energy to heat the skin but it does it in a fractional pattern. There's a lot of online hype about this treatment, but the question is is it superior to other therapies. A lot of doctors are on board with being big fans of Softwave, but it is kind of the new treatment on the block. If you have darker skin colors, then this may be the best treatment for non-invasive skin tightening for you because some of the other treatments can cause issues with pigmentation problems in people with darker skin."

"I got Softwave done for instance right and I was surprised by there was zero downtime and I thought to myself if I were Jennifer Lopez I would just have this machine in my home and do it every three months, you know, have somebody show up I don't even have to leave and just have them do this because there's no downtime and nobody would know that I was like tightening up my face."

"Somebody asked me about Softwave. I've only done it once and I can't say I saw a difference, but I was impressed that it did not hurt like I expected it to. I will probably try it again. It's been about three or four months since I did it, so I'll probably try it again just to see if I see more tightening, but as of now I don't think I saw a huge difference."

"Softwave releases energy parallel so you don't get any damage to the fat layer, which is a worry. If you look at some of the before and afters, you can really lift the eyebrows. Even our ocular plastic surgeon at the clinic sometimes combines blepharoplasty with a Softwave brow lift because he knows it's going to be fantastic. Brow lifts sometimes are not so successful, they involve quite a big scar in that area, and Softwave is a great alternative to a brow lift and a blepharoplasty. If you have somebody with very loose skin around the eyes and a drop, you can do a couple of Softwave treatments to lift the brow and maybe even do some CO2 around the eyes and get a really good result. You can see results straight away with gradual improvement as new collagen gets remodeled. Because of the initial coagulation of proteins and skin contraction, you can often see results straight away. In fact, sometimes we do one side of the face so you can compare and see the lift that's been achieved, knowing that you will get more of a lift as months go on as the collagen is rebuilt."
