The lines that run down from the corners of the mouth towards the chin deepen as the lower face slackens, and Sofwave softens them by tightening the skin of the lower face. A 2023 study of 36 patients measured the change in these lines, and the clearance for facial lines and wrinkles covers the face. The Lift applicator heats the dermis about 1.5 mm below the surface with the surface cooled, so the skin contracts and builds collagen over three months. One session, from £799 as part of the face, at Sofwave Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the marionette lines
The downturned look at the corners of the mouth eases as the skin beside the lines firms, and in our experience the jowl beside them tightens. A line that is deep because the lower face has lost volume is a filler question. A jowl that has dropped is where EMface at our sister clinic at the same address is added, and the clinician plans the order at the free consultation.
What the study measured
A 2023 study of 36 patients treated the lower face with Sofwave and measured the lines by 3D imaging: they were shallower at one and three months, in more than 60% of patients at one month. The 80-patient clearance study treated the cheeks, under the chin and the neck among its zones. The full-face page sets out the figures.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, then about 15 minutes for the lines within a face session; redness for a few hours and mild swelling up to a day, with work and makeup fine the same day. The change shows from six to eight weeks and peaks at three months, when we take the after photograph, and in our experience it holds for around a year.
