Understanding Sofwave: A Detailed Guide from Ceramique Clinic
Hello, I am Dr. Lee Jong-jin, head director of Ceramique Clinic.
Recently, with the increasing interest in lifting procedures, I've been frequently asked, "I've heard Sofwave is good, but is it really effective?"
However...
I often get the feeling that many people have only heard the 'name' of a specific procedure without knowing exactly 'how' it works.
Perhaps among those reading this, many have heard the name Sofwave, but may not clearly know what makes it different from existing procedures and why it focuses on specific effects.
I believe it's important to accurately understand the operating principles and mechanisms before deciding on a procedure.
Therefore, today, let's put aside the vague expectations surrounding it, and I will clearly explain what this procedure is exactly and how it induces positive changes in the skin from an expert's perspective.
Generally, when you think of high-intensity lifting procedures, you probably imagine a method that delivers energy to the deep layers of the skin to induce collagen contraction and regeneration.
Sofwave also shares these principles.
However, Sofwave has clear differences in the 'depth' and 'method' of delivering energy.
While existing strong lifting procedures focus on contracting the deep muscle layers of the face to lift it up, Sofwave concentrates energy only on the dermis layer of the skin, which is shallower.
It delivers seven ultrasound energy beams parallel to the skin, providing even heat stimulation to the entire dermis layer without irritating the surface.
As a result, the effect of Sofwave is not a dramatic change that instantly lifts the face, but rather a way to reduce fine wrinkles by filling the skin density and restoring the overall firmness of the skin.
In fact, many people have vague expectations about all high-intensity procedures, including Sofwave, thinking that their face will be pulled up similarly to other lifting procedures.
However, because the purpose and target area of the procedure are so clearly different, you may be disappointed if you receive the procedure with these expectations.
Thanks to its focus on the dermis layer, serious problems such as nerve damage or fat atrophy in the deeper layers are significantly lower.
However, it is unrealistic and a cautious attitude to conclude that there are no side effects.
As this procedure also applies 'heat energy' to the skin, you must be aware of the realistic reactions and limitations that may occur after the procedure depending on individual skin condition and constitution.
Despite the advantages of this procedure, it may be less effective or cause unnecessary pain in inappropriate skin conditions.
For example, if someone with already thin, dry skin and severe loss of elasticity receives strong heat energy, the expected density improvement effect will be significantly reduced because the regeneration ability cannot keep up.
Also, if you have a history of chronic inflammation or frequent allergic reactions on your skin, high heat stimulation may worsen the inflammatory response, resulting in prolonged swelling and pain after the procedure.
Therefore, the most important first step in preventing side effects is to transparently inform your healthcare provider of your skin barrier condition and history of inflammation before the procedure.
As you can see, there are various types of lifting procedures, and their purposes and target groups are all different.
You may feel it is cumbersome to look up all this procedure information one by one.
However, since it is a procedure that directly touches the skin, you must choose carefully.
Rather than unconditionally receiving a procedure recommendation, I hope you start at a place where you can listen to your concerns and find suitable conditions together.
