I Tried Sofwave In My Late 30s for a Tighter Neck and Jawline

At 39, Bridget noticed subtle changes around her lower face. “The thing that I noticed on myself was loose skin just right around the jawline, the neckline and everything like that,” she recalls. Although she’d previously tried Botox and fillers for other facial areas, Bridget had never specifically addressed her jawline. After reviewing before-and-after photos during her consultation, she decided Sofwave was the right choice.

“I really wanted that lifted look,” Bridget adds. “I saw great results in other patients, which made me feel confident about going ahead with this treatment.”

What the Sofwave Treatment Was Like

“I had it done all over, from my neck to my full face,” Bridget says. She describes the sensation during the procedure as brief and manageable: “It just kind of like heated up is what I felt whenever I had the procedure done. It was like it got warm and then it got hot and then as soon as it got hot, it went away.”

She also shares that her doctor, Austin, TX plastic surgeon Johnny Franco, MD and his team made it an easy experience. “They made sure that I was really numb before the procedure and that I was as comfortable as possible,” Bridget notes. Additionally, the lack of downtime was another significant benefit: “I actually went back to my normal everyday life. No one noticed that I had anything done after I had it done.”

My Results

Within six weeks, Bridget experienced noticeable improvements. “I definitely see my jawline better,” she shares. “Just everything looks so much better than it used to. It’s like it brought back that little bit of youth that I was missing in my life.”

Dr. Franco explains the effectiveness of Sofwave: “Sofwave is unique in that it uses targeted ultrasound energy at a very specific layer of the dermis. That’s what causes the collagen stimulation in that dermal area that leads to the lifting of the Sofwave.”

He also highlights the benefits for those experiencing skin laxity after weight loss: “The neck is probably one of the biggest areas, especially after weight loss, because it’s one of the first areas where people notice laxity. Tightening that area with Sofwave can really enhance the overall jawline.”

Future Maintenance

Thrilled by her results, Bridget sees Sofwave as a part of her regular skin-care maintenance plan. “I definitely plan on doing it again. I’ll contact them and let them know that I’m interested in doing it again whenever that year mark goes around,” Bridget concludes.

Dr. Franco supports regular treatments to maintain results: “Once you get to a good spot and you’re trying to maintain results, then I would say every 12 to 18 months to hold that line.”
