Dr. Preema Vig explains Sofwave, an ultrasound treatment that heats the mid-dermis to trigger collagen and elastin production for skin tightening on the face, neck, and body. The procedure is quick with minimal downtime, and results appear after a single session, though they're not permanent and may need maintenance.

If you're noticing that your skin is starting to feel a little looser around the jawline, neck, or brows, but you're not looking for surgery or injectables, Sofwave is one of the treatments we offer at Dr. Preema London Clinic for non-surgical skin tightening and collagen stimulation. I'm Dr. Preema Vig, Medical Director of Dr. Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, and I've worked in medical aesthetics for 23 years, Softwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to improve skin laxity by stimulating your body's own production of collagen and elastin. It uses a technology called Superb, which stands for Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam. During treatment, controlled ultrasound energy is delivered into the mid-dermis, where it creates heat at a precise depth within the skin. This controlled heating triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin and encouraging existing collagen fibres to remodel. Over the following weeks and months, this can gradually improve skin firmness and help create a tighter, more supported appearance. At the clinic, we use Softwave to treat areas such as the face, jawline, neck, and brows, It can also be used on selected areas of the body where skin laxity is a concern. One of the reasons Softwave fits so well with our treatment philosophy is that it works with the skin's own regenerative processes rather than adding volume or changing the structure of the face. The treatment is non-invasive and there is typically little to no downtime, so most patients can return to their usual activities afterwards. For many patients, a single Softwave treatment can produce a noticeable improvement, although results are not permanent. As the skin continues to age, further treatments may be recommended over time to help maintain the results. As with any aesthetic treatment, Softwave isn't right for everyone. At Dr. Preema London Clinic, Softwave treatments are performed by our experienced medical aestheticians for following a consultation and assessment of your skin and individual concerns. This allows us to determine whether Softwave is appropriate for you or whether another treatment or combination of treatments may be better suited to what you're looking to achieve. If you're considering Softwave or would like to understand whether it could be suitable for you, you can find more information at drpreema.com.
