Sofwave Results Timeline: When Will You See a Difference?
Quick answer: Most people notice little immediately after Sofwave beyond slight firmness. Visible improvement in fine lines and skin firmness usually develops between one and three months, with results commonly assessed at about three months and sometimes continuing to improve up to six months.
Week-by-week overview
- Day 0 to 2: mild redness or swelling may give a temporary plumped look.
- Weeks 1 to 4: collagen remodelling begins; changes are subtle.
- Months 1 to 3: skin feels firmer and fine lines may soften.
- Months 3 to 6: results are usually evaluated, and some continue to improve.
What affects your results
- Age and baseline collagen
- Skin thickness and degree of laxity
- Sun exposure, smoking and sleep
- Treatment settings and areas covered
How long results last
Because the skin continues to age, results are not permanent. Many people consider maintenance treatment about once a year, depending on age and goals.
Supporting collagen after treatment
- Use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Follow a skincare routine recommended by your physician.
- Avoid smoking and maintain good sleep and nutrition.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I see results immediately?
