Summary

This trial tests whether a device called SofWave, which delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy under the skin, can lift and tighten the lower face and upper neck. About 30 healthy adults aged 40 to 55 with mild to moderate skin laxity will receive one treatment. Doctors will rate the improvement in skin appearance 12 weeks later using a standard scale.
