A

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is sagging skin. Sofwave's™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ technology generates heat at a depth in the mid-dermis to promote new collagen growth.
