Sofwave™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ is a next generation ultrasound device intended to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Using a breakthrough patented technology that generates a Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beams, the device emits a high intensity, high frequency, parallel ultrasound beam array through seven ultrasound transducers that are in direct contact with the skin. Treatment of sagging skin is optimized when the thermal effect is localized in the mid-dermis. The high frequency, parallel beams of Sofwave™, enable most of the thermal effect to remain localized between 0.5 and 2mm within the dermis, with the center of the treatment effect in the depth of 1.5mm. The unique low divergence, high intensity beam eliminates the need for the beam to be focused, and the ultrasonic energy dissipates rapidly beyond a depth of 2mm, thus leaving the underlying deep dermal, hypodermal, nerve and bony structures unaffected. Another unique feature of Sofwave™ is the unique SofCool™ technology.
Treatment: As someone who doesn't have a high pain tolerance, I was surprised by how well I did Sofwave™ without any numbing. The best way I can describe to you what the Sofwave™ feels like is almost like the ocean; when the water comes in and hits the sand and then it recedes. Sofwave™ is similar to that effect because of its pulsing rhythm. When the treatment starts, you feel a rising of this hot prickly sensation then it peaks and then it falls until you don't feel it and then that just repeats itself until the treatment is complete. My treatment took about 30 minutes I tolerated it so well because you almost have little breaks in between little pulses. With this it's also important to note that we can provide topical numbing for our patients for about 30 to 45 minutes prior to their treatment. I did not have any but I can only imagine how much more comfortable that makes the Sofwave™ treatment itself.
