At The Bloom Clinic in London, we understand that maintaining youthful, healthy skin isn’t just about treating wrinkles; it’s about addressing what causes them. One of the most powerful ways to rejuvenate the skin is by supporting the body’s natural collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. If a treatment can boost the production of all three, this is even better! That’s where Sofwave comes in – a multi-award winning, advanced and non-invasive treatment that increases collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin to deeply rejuvenate it from within.
But what makes Sofwave so unique? Let’s explore the science behind Sofwave’s technology and how it can help you achieve more hydrated, firmer and smoother skin with minimal downtime.
What are collagen and elastin, and why do they matter?
Collagen is a structural protein found in the skin, responsible for maintaining strength and firmness. Elastin is another crucial structural protein that gives the skin its elasticity. As we age, elastin production starts to decline in our early 20s, and collagen production slows down in our mid-20s. By the time we reach our late 30s, this decline becomes more noticeable, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, mildly sagging skin, and a loss of definition in the face and jawline.
While topical skincare products may offer surface-level improvements, they rarely penetrate deeply enough to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. That’s where Sofwave’s patented and revolutionary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology makes a real difference.
How does Sofwave stimulate collagen from within?
Sofwave delivers its SUPERB™ ultrasound technology to a perfect mid-dermal depth of 1.5mm and delivers energy to a broader volume of tissue compared to other similar treatments, targeting the fibroblast-rich layer without damaging the skin’s surface or penetrating too deeply into the fat layer. The ultrasound energy heats the dermis to 60-70°C, which denatures old collagen fibres and triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, known as neocollagenesis. This stimulates the skin’s fibroblast cells to produce fresh collagen fibres. The same thermal effect from the ultrasound stimulates elastogenesis (new elastin production). The result is firmer, tighter skin and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. The skin also improves its elasticity and resilience. Sofwave indirectly boosts hyaluronic acid by activating fibroblasts, which produce hyaluronic acid, as well as collagen and elastin. Increased hyaluronic acid in the skin gives it more plumpness and glow.
The treatment incorporates Sofcool™, an integrated cooling mechanism that ensures maximum comfort while protecting the skin’s top layer. The result? A safe, comfortable experience that uses only simple topical numbing cream and has minimal associated downtime.
Over time, the newly formed collagen and elastin works to lift, firm, and smooth the skin, offering a gradual yet noticeable rejuvenation that looks natural and lasts.
What are the benefits of collagen and elastin stimulation with Sofwave?
At The Bloom Clinic, we recommend Sofwave, not only for improving skin laxity and fine lines and wrinkles but as a proactive treatment to build a healthier and stronger network of collagen and elastin in the skin to help maintain its quality over time. Some of the key benefits include:
- Visible lifting of the brows, jawline, and neck.
- Improved skin texture, elasticity and firmness.
- Reduction in fine lines and deeper wrinkles.
- Natural and subtle restoration of volume.
- A refreshed, youthful glow.
Many patients begin to see an improvement within 2-4 weeks, with peak results appearing around the 12-week mark. Best of all, the effects can last up to 12 months or longer, depending on individual skin health and lifestyle.
Why choose Sofwave over other collagen-stimulating treatments?
