What Is Sofwave?

Your skin tells your story, but when skin laxity, wrinkles, or cellulite start to show more than you would like, you may wonder if there is a solution that doesn’t involve surgery. At Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery in Indianapolis, we offer Sofwave, a groundbreaking non-surgical treatment designed to lift, tighten, and refresh your skin naturally.

 

A New Standard In Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Sofwave is an advanced FDA-cleared treatment designed to improve skin laxity, reduce cellulite, and refresh your overall appearance. Using focused ultrasound energy, Sofwave stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — the essential components that keep your skin firm, smooth, and resilient.

The treatment targets the mid-dermis with precision, safely heating the tissues at a depth that encourages natural skin remodeling. A built-in cooling mechanism helps protect the outer layers of your skin, keeping you comfortable throughout the process.

Each Sofwave session at our Indianapolis office typically takes about an hour and a half. Many patients describe the sensation as a wave of warmth followed by cooling relief. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance your comfort if needed.

 

What Sofwave Can Treat

Sofwave is a versatile option if you’re looking to improve multiple areas without surgery. It is FDA-cleared to:

• Minimize fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck
• Lift the eyebrows, under-chin area, and neck
• Firm loose skin on the upper arms, thighs, and abdomen
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Reduce the appearance of cellulite

Many patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks, with continued collagen production boosting results for up to 12 weeks post-treatment. Clinical studies also show that many individuals maintain their results for a year or longer after only one session.

 

Why Patients Choose Sofwave Over Surgery

While surgical procedures like facelifts and body lifts offer dramatic results, not everyone needs or wants to go under the knife. If your skin concerns are mild to moderate, Sofwave can deliver noticeable improvement without anesthesia, scars, or a lengthy recovery. 

While Sofwave can offer significant improvement, it is important to understand its limitations. If you have very heavy or hanging loose skin, a surgical lift might still be your best option. Dr. Chernoff and his team in Indianapolis take the time to assess your skin and recommend the best path forward, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.

 

What To Expect During Your Treatment

Your experience with Sofwave at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery is designed to be smooth and stress-free:

• Consultation: We begin with an in-depth evaluation to understand your skin concerns and what you hope to achieve.
• Preparation: Depending on your preference, a numbing agent may be applied to the treatment areas.
• Treatment: Sofwave energy is delivered section by section. Each area is warmed for a few seconds and then cooled.
• Post-treatment: No recovery time is needed. You can return to work, errands, or even a social event the same day.

Many patients appreciate how convenient it is to fit Sofwave into a busy lifestyle, especially during special times of the year when you want to look and feel your best.

 

Who Is A Good Candidate?

If you’re noticing changes in your skin’s firmness or texture but don’t feel ready for surgery, Sofwave might be your perfect match. Ideal candidates are individuals with:

• Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Early signs of facial aging
• Cellulite that doesn’t improve with lifestyle changes
• A preference for non-invasive options with little to no downtime

If you have underlying health conditions or a higher BMI, Dr. Chernoff and his team will review all your options with you to ensure your safety and satisfaction.

 

How Sofwave Compares To Other Treatments

Several advantages of Sofwave make it stand out from other treatments.

• No Surgery Required: Sofwave tightens and tones without the risks associated with surgery.
• Minimal Discomfort: Most patients tolerate the treatment well with optional numbing.
• Safe For All Skin Types: Unlike some lasers, Sofwave is safe and effective across all skin tones.
• Quick And Long-Lasting Results: Improvements can be seen quickly and continue to develop over time, with benefits lasting up to a year.
• Natural-Looking Results: Your skin gradually rejuvenates itself, giving you a refreshed but not “overdone” appearance.

Sofwave can also be combined with many of our practice’s wide range of surgical and non-surgical treatments, giving you access to comprehensive options that can be customized for your needs and amplify your results. Many patients choose to pair Sofwave with dermal fillers, Botox, or skin resurfacing treatments to address multiple concerns at once. Combining Sofwave with injectables can help lift and contour the face while smoothing out fine lines for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Additionally, skin treatments like chemical peels or laser therapies can complement Sofwave by improving skin texture and tone. During your consultation, we will work with you to design a personalized plan that layers the right treatments together safely and effectively, helping you achieve a refreshed, balanced appearance from every angle.
