Eye Sofwave

• Droopy upper eyelids and eye shape

Sofwave lists open wounds in the treatment area as a contraindication and does not recommend treatment directly over dermal fillers. Surgical wounds, previous injection sites and timing must be reviewed.

• 01

  Where you are now, and where we start

  Eye Sofwave is a treatment that uses ultrasound to induce a collagen response in the skin, used for brow laxity and facial lines.

• 02

  The change you want, the impression you keep

  We check whether fine lines and skin texture that bother you up close are the main concern. Dark circles can have mixed causes such as hollowing, pigmentation and visible blood vessels, so skin-texture treatment alone does not improve them all.

Eye Sofwave

Eye Sofwave is a treatment that uses ultrasound to induce a collagen response in the skin, used for brow laxity and facial lines. Whether it suits thin eyelids is judged from the condition of the eyelids as well, not only from the device’s working depth of about 1.5 mm. Brow lifting and direct eyelid treatment are distinguished, and the treatment area follows the instructions for use.

How it works

• 01

  Areas and timing

  Warmth and pain during treatment, and redness, swelling and tenderness afterwards, can occur. How quickly you recover depends on the person and the treatment area, and burns or lasting changes in sensation are also possible. Severe eye pain or changes in vision need immediate medical care.

• 02

  Recovery and review

  Changes in firmness are checked over weeks to months. The result is not judged by tightness or swelling right after treatment; the need for further treatment and its interval are decided at follow-up.

1. 01

   Start with the concern

   Before your consultation, please note your usual swelling and dry eyes, any previous filler or surgery, and the medicines you take. If you have an important event or departure date, we plan recovery time and how follow-up will be checked as well.

• Q. What is Eye Sofwave?

  Eye Sofwave is a treatment that uses ultrasound to induce a collagen response in the skin, used for brow laxity and facial lines. Whether it suits thin eyelids is judged from the condition of the eyelids as well, not only from the device’s working depth of about 1.5 mm.

• Q. Is Eye Sofwave suitable for my under-eye area?

  Eye Sofwave is an ultrasound treatment for laxity around the brows and facial wrinkles. Suitability for direct eyelid treatment is not decided by the depth of action alone. The location of any existing filler and the condition of the skin around the eyes are checked first.

• Q. When can I assess results from Eye Sofwave?

  Changes resulting from the collagen response are assessed over weeks to months. We look at brow-area firmness and wrinkles while comparing them with the initial photos, and if deep hollowing or protruding fat remains, we explain it as a problem with a different cause. Treatment directly over areas with filler is not recommended, so before any further treatment we again check the location and timing of the filler.

• Q. What is recovery and aftercare like after Eye Sofwave?

  Warmth, redness, swelling and tenderness may occur, and burns or persistent changes in sensation also need attention. For severe eye pain or visual problems, seek medical care immediately. If you have existing filler, be sure to tell us its location and timing before treatment.
