This article is a translation of the original French article “Face Wrap de Kim Kardashian : effet temporaire ou vraie solution anti-âge ?” and is intended for the French market. Treatments, availability and prices may differ at our London clinic.
A "wow" effect that doesn't last
The face wrap works through simple mechanical compression. It lightly drains the tissues, which gives a temporary firming effect. It is a bit like wearing shapewear tights: they slim you in the moment, but change nothing in depth. As soon as you remove the wrap, the skin returns to its natural appearance. In short, it is a quick refresh for a selfie, but not a lasting anti-ageing solution. At Innerskin, we prefer real results. If you are looking for a genuine lifting effect, without a scalpel or injections, there is a medically validated technology: Sofwave®.
What is Sofwave®?
Sofwave® is a non-invasive technology that uses ultrasound to target the deep layers of the skin, at a depth of around 1.5 mm, where collagen is formed. By heating this area in a controlled way, the device triggers a natural skin regeneration response: production of new collagen, improved elasticity and a slight re-tightening of the tissues. A safe solution for treating skin laxity.
What makes Sofwave® special is the even distribution of energy thanks to several transducers, together with a cooling system (Sofcool™) that protects the epidermis. The treatment is quick (30 to 45 minutes) and requires no social downtime. It can be performed on different areas of the face and neck.
The first results may appear after a few weeks, with gradual improvement over 2 to 3 months. A single session may be enough, depending on the condition of the skin and your goals. A solution that works in depth, far from the temporary results of a simple wrap around the face. And to prolong the effects at home? We recommend the Pepto-Collagen Firming Serum, formulated to act on the skin's elasticity and thus optimise the results of Sofwave®.
