Sofwave™ for acne scars
How 1.5 mm ultrasound remodels acne scarring
Rolling and atrophic acne scars sit in the mid-dermis where past inflammation tethered or depleted collagen fibers. Sofwave™ delivers 7 parallel thermal zones at 1.5 mm depth to stimulate fresh collagen synthesis from beneath the scar bed while keeping the epidermis completely intact.
Why intact epidermis matters for Asian and deeper skin tones
Ablative lasers and needle-based resurfacing pierce the epidermis and require days of surface recovery in Fitzpatrick III–VI skin. Because Sofwave™ bypasses the surface optically and cools the epidermis with Sofcool™, guests of all skin tones can treat acne scars with 0 days of peeling or crusting.
Protocol for acne scar remodeling
For acne scars, we typically recommend a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart, with progressive smoothing of scar texture over 8–12 weeks after the final visit.
