SMART Yet SIMPLE Skin Tightening Treatment

IMPROVE SKIN HEALTH WITH SOFWAVE THERAPY

Now offering Sofwave skin therapy

At Fairlawn Aesthetic MD, we’re excited to announce that we are now offering Sofwave™ to our patients. Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that lifts the brow, neck, and under-chin area — and refines the upper arms — in a single 30–45 minute visit with zero downtime. Using breakthrough ultrasound technology, it stimulates your skin’s own collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, with no surgery and no needles.

WHY CHOOSE SOFWAVE?

Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to improve skin laxity and tone. It stimulates the regeneration of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — without surgery, needles, or downtime. Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery creates a fractional heating effect at a precise depth of 1.5 mm in the mid-dermis, the ideal zone to stimulate new collagen and regenerate fibers.

Patients seeking effective skin tightening in Northeast Ohio choose Sofwave because it targets the skin’s mid-dermis to jumpstart natural regeneration. The treatment reaches the zones that trigger a healing response — called neocollagenesis — which builds new collagen in the skin.

Sofwave is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment, and clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe. We’ll review your candidacy and what to expect during your consultation. For more questions, see the Sofwave FAQ.

Sofwave uses an integrated cooling mechanism called Sofcool™, which protects the uppermost layer of skin from heat while the ultrasound energy works in the tissue below.

Real-time skin temperature monitoring
No damage to underlying structures
No fat loss
No device-related adverse events reported in multi-center clinical studies

When do I see results?

You may notice initial improvement within a week of your Sofwave appointment. The bigger change happens gradually over about 12 weeks as your skin produces new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Clinical studies show results can last a year or more.

Is There Any Downtime?

Sofwave treatments typically involve minimal to no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately after your Sofwave appointment. There’s no bruising, and you can apply makeup right away. Some patients have mild redness or swelling that fades within a few hours.
