NEW: Sofwave

At The Bloom Clinic, we offer Sofwave – the latest, non-invasive skin-lifting solution on the market. This FDA-approved, advanced ultrasound treatment is the go-to procedure if you’re looking for a clinically proven, non-invasive way to lift and tighten sagging skin, smooth fine lines and revitalise your complexion. Sofwave uses no needles, is suitable for a wide age range and all skin tones, can be carried out all year round, has minimal downtime and is clinically proven to deliver results with just a single treatment session. It is a highly effective stimulator of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. It addresses signs of ageing in the face (including eye area), neck, and body, helping to give a more lifted and contoured appearance.

In addition to being increasingly popular with patients and celebrities, Sofwave has strong clinical data behind the technology and is backed by 7 FDA clearances, making it one of the most rigorously tested devices on the market. This extensive clearance range means Sofwave is a thoroughly versatile skin rejuvenation hero.

It is FDA-cleared to treat all of the below:

• Brow Lift: Lifting of the eyebrows by up to 3-5mm for patients aged 22 years and older.
• Jawline Sculpting: Lifting lax submental (under chin) tissue, helping to define the jawline for patients aged 22 years and older.
• Neck Lift: Lifting lax tissue on the neck, improving wrinkles, skin texture and firmness in patients aged 22 years and older.
• Fine lines & wrinkles: Improving facial lines and wrinkles for patients aged 22 years and older.
• Acne Scars: Treatment of acne scars.
• Upper Arm Skin Laxity: Improving skin laxity on upper arms.
• Cellulite: Improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

What makes Sofwave so distinctive is the revolutionary SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology, which stimulates collagen and elastin precisely 1.5mm beneath the skin’s surface. This “sweet spot” is where the mid-dermis is located, where collagen and elastin are produced. These proteins are the building blocks of youthful, resilient skin, and as we age, their natural decline leads to wrinkles and skin laxity.

Sofwave has an integrated cooling system called Sofcool™, which keeps the skin’s surface cool and protected during treatment. Due to the depth of ultrasound energy penetration being 1.5mm, there is no damage to deeper underlying structures and no risk of fat loss compared to other popular devices on the market. This ensures more comfort during treatment with less pain and fewer risks of complications. Think of the treatment as a deep renewal of the skin without damaging its surface.

At our clinic in Canary Wharf, we can recommend Sofwave to those who notice early signs of ageing or skin laxity, as it will be clinically effective for younger and older patients. Each treatment takes 30-45 minutes depending on the area. We apply a topical numbing cream for one hour beforehand to ensure comfort, and you should be able to return to your daily routine immediately. While many patients see early improvements immediately or within 1-2 weeks, the magic really happens over the following 2-3 months when collagen production ramps up. Results are often achieved from a single treatment session, which can last 12 months or more, depending on your skin’s natural ageing process. Some patients with more severe concerns may be advised to have another treatment session after a month.
