The vertical lines that deepen on the chest with sun and a night on your side, and the crepey skin between the collarbones and the bust, are treated in our practice, usually with the neck in one session. The applicator heats the dermis of the chest about 1.5 mm below the surface with the surface cooled. The décolletage is named in no Sofwave clearance and no study measures it, and we say so plainly. One session, from £799 as an area, at Sofwave Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the chest
In our experience, the crepey texture tightens and the vertical lines soften as the dermis rebuilds over three months. The mottled colour of sun damage is pigment and vessels, which the ultrasound does not change, and the clinician names the light treatment that does. Because the heat stays in the dermis, the manufacturer states it does not cause fat loss.
What the evidence covers
The clearances name the face, the brow, under the chin, the neck, the upper arms and cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, and the neck studies stand nearest to the chest; no study measures the décolletage. The neck page sets out the neck studies.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, then about 30 minutes for the chest; redness for a few hours and mild swelling up to a day, with work fine the same day and sunscreen on the chest. 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.
