How to Choose? A Professional Guide to Layered Anti-Aging**
In modern medical aesthetics, layered anti-aging has become a key approach. As we age, the skin experiences different levels of aging—from the epidermis to deeper structural layers. Because each device targets a different depth, using only one technology often cannot fully address all concerns.
By combining Sofwave™, Thermage®, and Ultherapy®, we can precisely target multiple layers of the skin, achieving more natural, lifted, and long-lasting rejuvenation results.
Why Layered Anti-Aging?
The skin structure—from superficial to deep—includes:
- Epidermis: dullness, fine lines, rough texture
- Dermis: collagen loss, laxity, enlarged pores
- SMAS Layer: sagging, loss of jawline definition
- Deep Fat & Ligaments: hollowing, deepening nasolabial folds
Layered anti-aging means choosing the right technology for each layer of aging.
This approach provides more complete, harmonious, and longer-lasting results.
Understanding the Three Key Anti-Aging Devices
① Sofwave™ — The “Collagen Guide Dog” for Dermal Tightening
- Depth: Mid-dermis (≈1.5 mm)
- Technology: Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam
Ideal for improving:
- Fine lines / neck lines
- Mild to moderate dermal laxity
- Texture decline & enlarged pores
- Early collagen loss
Why patients love Sofwave: minimal discomfort, non-invasive, no downtime.
Perfect for:
✔ Early anti-aging
✔ People who want tightening but are pain-sensitive
✔ Maintenance-focused patients
② Thermage® FLX — The Deep-Dermal “Skin Tightening Machine”
- Depth: Deep dermis (≈2–4 mm)
- Technology: Monopolar RF energy
Improves:
- Overall skin laxity
- Nasolabial folds, under-eye lines
- Loose jawline
- Loss of tightness and firmness
Thermage delivers controlled deep heating to stimulate significant collagen remodeling, resulting in firmer, smoother, and thicker skin.
③ Ultherapy® — The “Non-Surgical Facelift” for the SMAS Layer
- Depth: SMAS / deep fascia (≈4.5 mm)
- Technology: Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
Targets:
- Sagging along the jawline
- Lower-face heaviness
- Marionette lines
- Moderate laxity needing stronger lifting
Ultherapy reaches the same foundational layer addressed in surgical facelifts, but with no incisions and minimal downtime, making lifting more natural and precise.
How to Combine Them: Layered Treatment Planning
🔹 Mild Laxity / Early Aging (Ages 25–35)
Sofwave™ alone or combined with Thermage® Eyes
- Smooths texture
- Improves fine lines
- Prevents early collagen loss
- Ideal for maintenance
🔹 Moderate Laxity (Ages 30–45)
Thermage® FLX + Sofwave™
- Full-face tightening (Thermage)
- Dermal collagen boost (Sofwave)
- Stronger synergistic results
🔹 Significant Sagging / Visible Laxity (Ages 35–55)
Ultherapy® + Thermage® + Sofwave™ — The True 3-Layer Anti-Aging Plan
- Deep Lift — Ultherapy® → lifts SMAS and contours
- Deep Tightening — Thermage® → enhances skin support & density
- Surface Refinement — Sofwave™ → smooths fine lines & texture
This combination creates the most natural, comprehensive, and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Treatment Experience & Downtime Comparison
| Treatment | Discomfort | Downtime | Onset of Results | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sofwave | Mild–Moderate | None | ~4 weeks | ~12 months |
| Thermage FLX | Moderate | 0–3 days mild redness | 1–3 months | 12–18 months |
| Ultherapy | Moderate–High | 0–3 days soreness | 1–2 months | 12–18 months |
FAQ
Q: Is combining all three devices safe?
Yes. When performed by trained professionals with proper layer-by-layer planning, combination treatment is safe and offers superior results.
Q: What is the recommended treatment order?
Typically:
Ultherapy → Thermage → Sofwave
This follows the natural deep-to-superficial treatment sequence.
Q: How often should I repeat these treatments?
Most devices are repeated every 12 months, depending on individual skin condition.
Q: Will it make my face stiff or skinny?
No. These treatments focus on collagen stimulation and tightening—they do not affect facial expression muscles or cause volume loss.
