Facelift surgery has progressed incredibly since the early times of invasive surgery to a non-invasive and very effective. Patients nowadays want natural, long-lasting results with no downtime, and two of the most innovative solutions at the forefront are Sofwave and Volnewmer. The two treatments work differently and tackle distinct issues, yet they aim to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin.
In the following article, we will take a closer look at the working mechanism and advantages of both Sofwave and Volnewmer and how they can work together to produce natural but rejuvenating outcomes. Since 2000, we have been providing world-leading non-surgical solutions using qualified specialists, state-of-the-art technology, and customised treatments in our clinic to assist clients to feel and look their best.
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is one of the latest FDA-cleared non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatments. It is designed to:
- Lift and firm skin on the face and neck
- Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Tighten lax areas like under the chin and along the jawline
Sofwave technology relies on the use of SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology. Unlike previous ultrasound devices, which move hot spots, Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy in parallel beams to a pre-determined heating level in the mid dermis layer. This promotes regeneration of collagen, which makes skin smoother, tighter, and younger-looking.
Since Sofwave only targets the deep dermis skin level, it reduces the prevalence of undesirable adverse effects, which include reduction of fat. It is painless, does not involve any downtime and can be used on all skin types.
Procedure
- Skin cleansing and preparation
- Application of ultrasound gel
- Delivery of ultrasound energy through a handpiece in short pulses
- Patients typically feel a warm tingling sensation with minimal discomfort
Results
- Subtle tightening can sometimes be seen within 1 week
- Most visible improvements appear over 8–12 weeks as new collagen forms
- Results typically last 9–12 months, depending on lifestyle and age
What is Volnewmer?
Another high-end, non-invasive facelift procedure, Volnewmer, goes even deeper into the skin. It has the combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and collagen and elastin shaping, and treats when the remodeling phase comes in, providing a more intense lift and contouring.
This treatment is especially effective in areas where sagging is more pronounced, such as:
- Around the mouth
- Around the eyes
- Larger areas like the abdomen and inner thighs
Because Volnewmer works at deeper levels, it stimulates both collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining firmness, structure, and elasticity.
Procedure
- Skin assessment and preparation
- Delivery of monopolar RF energy into dermal and subdermal layers
- Mild warmth or tingling may be felt during treatment
- Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area
Results
- Early tightening can be noticed soon after the session
- More visible results appear over 2–3 months as collagen and elastin rebuild
- Effects typically last 12 months or longer
- Can be repeated 2–3 times a year, depending on individual needs
Sofwave vs. Volnewmer: What’s the Difference?
While both treatments are designed to tighten and lift without surgery, their differences make them suitable for different goals — and even more powerful when combined.
- Treatment Depth: Sofwave targets the mid-dermal layer (about 1.5 mm), while Volnewmer penetrates deeper tissues (up to 4.5 mm).
- Technology: Sofwave uses ultrasound energy with parallel beam delivery; Volnewmer uses monopolar radiofrequency energy.
- Indications: Sofwave is ideal for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin quality. Volnewmer is better for deeper lifting and treating areas prone to sagging (jowls, mouth, eyes, and even larger body zones).
- Safety: Sofwave is extremely safe for superficial skin tightening, while Volnewmer requires expert application due to its deeper penetration.
- Results Timeline: Sofwave shows gradual improvements over 8–12 weeks, while Volnewmer often delivers earlier tightening with continued results over several months.
- Treatment Frequency: Sofwave is typically done once a year, while Volnewmer can be repeated 2–3 times annually.
Can Sofwave and Volnewmer Work Together?
Yes. In fact, many patients benefit most from a combined treatment plan.
- Volnewmer treats the deeper skin tissue, restoring firmness and contour.
- Sofwave focuses on the mid-dermis to enhance collagen and improve fine lines and skin texture.
When spaced about one week apart, the two treatments complement each other, providing a comprehensive lifting and rejuvenation effect that neither could fully achieve alone.
Results at a Glance
- Sofwave: Gentle, safe for all skin types, gradual results, best for fine lines and overall tightening.
- Volnewmer: Stronger lift, deeper penetration, effective for sagging areas and larger body zones, with more immediate improvements.
- Combined Therapy: Offers both surface refinement and deep lifting, delivering natural, youthful results with minimal downtime.
FAQs
1. How long does a Sofwave treatment take?
A typical Sofwave session lasts 30–45 minutes, making it an ideal option for patients with busy schedules.
2. Can Volnewmer be repeated during the year?
Yes, Volnewmer can be safely repeated 2–3 times per year, depending on individual skin condition and desired results.
3. Is either treatment painful?
Both are well tolerated. Sofwave is known for its comfort, while Volnewmer may cause mild, temporary redness or warmth.
4. Can these treatments replace surgical facelifts?
For patients with mild to moderate sagging, yes. Severe sagging may still require surgery, but Sofwave and Volnewmer provide strong non-surgical alternatives.
5. Can Sofwave and Volnewmer be combined?
Yes. Combining them offers the benefits of both: Sofwave improves skin texture and elasticity, while Volnewmer provides deeper lifting.
Conclusion
It is a non-invasive and accurate future of facelifts with good outcomes. Sofwave and volnewmer are new technologies, which are among the most innovative in the market today, and they are based on different layers to perform skin lifting, tightening, and rejuvenation.
Depending on the needs of these patients, the combination of the two treatments will likely provide the most effective results. Some target specific skin depths, which is why these technologies can be used together to achieve natural, lasting effects with no surgery downtime and risk.
The latest machines, unique protocols, and high-quality care by a trained expert with an eye for natural results help each patient achieve their rejuvenating experience with us safely, effectively, and naturally. Deciding to go with Sofwave, or Volnewmer or both, the process to healthier, tightened skin starts here.
