Sofwave’s cutting-edge science is transforming skin rejuvenation beyond the face.

“Pure Impact helps build muscle, while Sofwave simultaneously lifts the overlying skin—and together, the results are incredible,” explains Dr. Gregory Mueller.

This season, the buzzword on every beauty editor’s lips is Sofwave (sofwave.com). In aesthetic medicine, the state-of-the-art anti-aging technology is reshaping how skin rejuvenation is approached. Initially focused on the face and neck, this innovative ultrasound technology is now also being used to rejuvenate the skin on the arms, offering a comprehensive solution to the visible signs of aging.

Sofwave utilizes a sophisticated, noninvasive form of ultrasound technology to penetrate the skin and target the mid-dermal tissue layers. The science behind Sofwave is based on the concept of neocollagenesis and elastogenesis. When the ultrasound waves create controlled thermal injury zones in the dermis, they trigger the body’s natural healing response. This response stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, two critical proteins key to maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. Over time, as the skin generates new collagen, patients observe a gradual firming, tightening and smoothing of the skin.

This treatment is particularly effective for areas like the arms, where skin tends to lose elasticity as part of the natural aging process. Sofwave’s ability to specifically target these mid-dermal layers allows for a focused treatment protocol that addresses the unique structural characteristics of arm skin. The treatment sessions are quick, usually lasting about 30 to 45 minutes, and do not require any downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately. These features make Sofwave an attractive option for those seeking nondisruptive cosmetic enhancements.

And for those who’ve experienced rapid weight loss with semaglutide medications, some are using the one-two punch, combining their treatment with Pure Impact by Sofwave, the first FDAcleared technology of its kind approved to strengthen, tone and firm the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. “Patients with loose skin and muscle loss as a result of GLP-1 medications are great candidates for this tandem treatment,” explains Dr. Gregory Mueller, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and the first physician in the U.S. to offer the new treatment. “Pure Impact helps build muscle, while Sofwave simultaneously lifts the overlying skin—and together, the results are incredible.”

As Sofwave continues to be adopted for use beyond the face and neck, its application on the arms and combination treatments represent a promising advancement in nonsurgical skin tightening. A firm offer indeed.
