How Does Sofwave Work?
Sofwave Technology at Re:berry Clinic Gangnam Branch
Sofwave at Re:berry Clinic Gangnam Branch is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses controlled ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen remodeling within the skin.
Unlike surgical lifting, Sofwave does not reposition facial tissues. Instead, it works by creating controlled thermal stimulation in the dermis, encouraging the skin's natural collagen remodeling response.
What Is SUPERB™ Technology?
Sofwave uses SUPERB™ — Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology.
The ultrasound energy is delivered at approximately 1.5 mm within the dermis, an area containing collagen fibers important for skin firmness and elasticity.
This controlled heating triggers a biological response that can lead to:
- Collagen remodeling
- New collagen production
- Improved skin firmness
- Smoother-looking fine lines
- Gradual tightening of mildly lax skin
Why Does Sofwave Tighten Skin?
Collagen provides structural support to the skin. As collagen quality and quantity decline with age, the skin can become thinner, less elastic, and increasingly lax.
Sofwave delivers thermal energy into the dermis to initiate a wound-healing and collagen-remodeling response without creating an external wound.
The resulting changes occur progressively rather than producing an artificial or immediate surgical-style lift.
How Deep Does Sofwave Work?
Sofwave primarily delivers energy at approximately 1.5 mm depth.
This is one of the major differences between Sofwave and deeper ultrasound lifting treatments such as Ultherapy.
Sofwave → dermal collagen remodeling and skin tightening
Ultherapy → deeper ultrasound treatment at multiple tissue depths
The appropriate technology therefore depends on where the patient's facial laxity originates.
What Areas Can Sofwave Treat?
At Re:berry Clinic Gangnam Branch, Sofwave may be considered for concerns involving:
- Face
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Early jowls
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Neck
- Mild skin laxity
Treatment areas and energy settings should be determined according to individual skin condition and facial anatomy.
When Does Collagen Remodeling Begin?
The biological response begins after ultrasound energy is delivered, but visible results are generally progressive.
As collagen remodeling continues over the following weeks and months, patients may notice improvements in firmness, texture, and mild laxity. Individual results and timelines vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sofwave melt facial fat?
Sofwave is primarily designed for dermal collagen remodeling and skin tightening, rather than facial fat reduction.
Is Sofwave a laser?
No. Sofwave uses ultrasound energy, not laser energy.
Is Sofwave the same as Ultherapy?
No. Both use ultrasound, but Sofwave primarily targets the dermis at approximately 1.5 mm, while Ultherapy can deliver energy to deeper tissue levels.
Does Sofwave work immediately?
Some patients may notice early changes, but the primary effect is associated with progressive collagen remodeling after treatment.
Where can I get Sofwave in Gangnam?
Re:berry Clinic Gangnam Branch offers Sofwave for patients seeking ultrasound-based skin tightening and collagen remodeling in Gangnam, Seoul.
Sofwave at Re:berry Clinic Gangnam Branch
The key to understanding Sofwave is treatment depth. Rather than attempting to lift every layer of the face, Sofwave concentrates ultrasound energy within the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve skin firmness.
