FAQ

Skin Tightening in Chicago: common questions

What's the difference between Ultherapy and Sofwave?

Both use ultrasound to tighten skin, but they target different depths. Ultherapy reaches deeper layers, including the foundational SMAS layer addressed in a surgical facelift, and is FDA-cleared to lift the brow, chin, and neck. Sofwave targets the mid-dermis, is often more comfortable, and excels at fine lines and overall firmness. Your provider will recommend the better fit for your anatomy and goals.

Is skin tightening a substitute for a facelift?

No. These treatments are best for mild to moderate laxity and early sagging. They can delay or soften the need for surgery and refresh the jawline and neck, but they can't replicate the results of a facelift for significant sagging.

When will I see results?

Some lifting is visible early, but the main results develop gradually over 2–3 months as your body builds new collagen, and can continue improving up to 6 months.

Does it hurt?

Ultherapy can cause brief discomfort as energy is delivered to deeper layers; providers manage this with comfort settings and sometimes pain relief. Sofwave is generally more comfortable. Any tenderness resolves quickly.

How long do results last?

Results typically last a year or more. Because aging and gravity continue, most people maintain results with a touch-up session about once a year.

Is there any downtime?

Little to none. You may have mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few hours to a couple of days, but you can return to normal activities immediately.
