Direct answer
If there is little cheek fat, the application range of Sofwave can be consulted by distinguishing between skin elasticity and the amount of fat. The explanation that the target depth is different does not mean that there are no side effects.
Before your consultation
- Which layer does Sofwave target?
- If there is no cheek fat, should all ultrasound treatments be avoided?
- Can nasolabial folds be smoothed in one session?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Which layer does Sofwave target?
The clinic's official page introduces it as an ultrasound procedure targeting the dermis. The explanation about the target layer and the changes expected on my face should be considered separately. You cannot conclude just from the device structure that skin dimpling or thermal injury will not occur on all skin types.

If there is no cheek fat, should all ultrasound treatments be avoided?
Suitability is not determined solely by the broad category of ultrasound. Please indicate already sunken areas and sagging skin and inform if there were any changes after previous procedures. It is recommended to specifically discuss the treatment areas to be applied and areas to avoid through a consultation.
Can nasolabial folds be smoothed in one session?
The nasolabial fold can be affected by various factors such as the position of the cheekbones and skin folds. Ask whether the goal of elasticity treatments is the line itself or the surrounding skin. You should not interpret the treatment cycle information provided by the clinic as a period for complete personal correction or a guarantee of results.
How should I prepare for heat and pain?
Check whether anesthesia is used and how to report discomfort during the procedure. It is important not to hide excessive pain thinking that enduring it will improve results. If your skin sensitivity is different or you had issues with previous heat treatments, communicate this before starting.
How is the schedule for returning to daily life determined?
Official guidance mentions same-day recovery along with the possibility of temporary swelling and redness. Returning the same day does not mean there will be no visible traces at all. If you have important photo shoots or events, you should specifically verify the expected changes and the need to adjust the schedule.
If comparing Sofwave on Dongseong-ro in Daegu?
In the Dongseong-ro consultation, ask about the treatment area, target treatment area, and areas to exclude, in addition to the number of treatment pulses. Refer to the official Doctor Designer Daegu Sofwave guide, but for individuals with less cheek fat, the plan must be explained after examining the face.
