Is Sofwave the non-surgical facelift everyone’s been waiting for? For this review, I travel to Glasgow to meet Dr. Darren McKeown to put this popular collagen-boosting treatment to the test.
At 53, I’ve moved away from Botox and fillers, focusing instead on skin health and natural aging.
I’ve seen everyone from New York dermatologists like Dr. Doris Day to biohacker Bryan Johnson rave about Sofwave, so I wanted to see if it could actually tighten a sagging jawline.
My thanks to Dr. Darren @McKeownMedical for inviting me to try this treatment without charge for the purpose of independent review.
