Sofwave and Pure Impact: Everglow Gym

Non-surgical skin tightening + muscle toning in Kennebunk, Maine

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought,“Where did my muscle tone go… and why is my skin suddenly softer than my favorite sweater?” you are exactly who this blog is for.

Middle age, weight changes, hormones, stress, sun exposure, Maine winters (hi, dry air) — they all gang up on your skin and your muscles at the same time. The result? Loose skin, less definition, and a body that doesn’t quite match how young you feel inside.

At Everglow Medical Aesthetics in Kennebunk, we built a solution for that: Everglow Gym:  our combo approach using Sofwave™ for non-surgical skin tightening and Pure Impact™ for advanced muscle toning and body contouring at Everglow Medical Aesthetics

Think of it as a gym for your skin and muscles — without surgery, endless gym hours, or starting over every Monday.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

• What Sofwave is and how it tightens loose skin

• What Pure Impact is and how it builds muscle tone

• Why pairing them creates such powerful body contouring results

• What a treatment plan at Everglow looks like

• Who’s a good candidate and what to expect

Why skin gets looser and muscles get softer with age

Before we discuss technology, it's helpful to understand why you’re seeing these changes — especially if you’ve been working diligently on your health.

Collagen loss = looser, thinner skin

Starting in your mid-20s, your body naturally produces less collagen every year. By your 40s and 50s, this really starts to show up as:

• Crepey, thinner skin

• Sagging along the jawline and neck

• Laxity on the arms, abdomen, thighs, and above the knees

• Fine lines and wrinkles that don’t bounce back the way they used to

Add in weight loss, pregnancies, or major life changes, and the skin has even more stretching and rebound to manage.

Muscle loss (sarcopenia) = less shape and support

Muscles are your body’s internal scaffolding.

When you lose muscle, you lose:

• Natural “lift” in your buttocks and thighs

• Core strength and abdominal tone

• Support through your arms, shoulders, and posture

Even if you’re active, hormonal shifts and busy schedules make it hard to maintain the same muscle tone you had in your 20s and 30s.

Why does this show up so clearly in midlife?

For many women in Kennebunk, this all collides at once:

• You’re taking better care of your health.

• You may be losing weight.

• You’re more aware of how you look in photos, bathing suits, and fitted clothing.

You’re doing the right things, but your loose skin and reduced muscle tone aren’t fully responding to diet and exercise alone.

That’s where technology like Sofwave and Pure Impact comes in.

Meet Sofwave™: Non-surgical skin tightening that rebuilds collagen

Sofwave™ is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based skin tightening treatment that targets the mid-dermis (the layer where your collagen lives) to stimulate new collagen production and improve skin laxity.Physicians Laser Institute

It’s FDA-cleared to:

• Improve facial lines and wrinkles

• Lift the eyebrows

• Lift lax tissue under the chin and neck

• Improve skin laxity on the upper arms

• Provide short-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite

• Treat acne scars & Cellulite

In plain English: Sofwave is designed to tighten, lift, and smooth without surgery or significant downtime.

How Sofwave works

Sofwave uses something called Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology. Multiple ultrasound beams deliver controlled heat to a precise depth in your skin (about 1.5 mm), where collagen fibers live.Belle Meade Medical

When that collagen is gently heated:

• Existing collagen fibers contract

• Your body responds by creating fresh collagen and elastin over the following months

• The result is firmer, tighter, smoother skin

The energy is delivered below the surface, while the top layer of skin is protected with built-in cooling — so you can get meaningful skin tightening with minimal surface disruption.

Areas Sofwave can treat

Sofwave is ideal for mild to moderate laxity in areas like:

• Face (cheeks, lower face, smile lines)

• Brows (for a subtle lifted look)

• Under the chin and along the jawline

• Neck

• Upper arms (arm “wobble” or bat wings)

• Areas with cellulite or early body laxity

At Everglow in Kennebunk, we use Sofwave for both facial rejuvenation and body skin tightening, often as part of a broader body contouring plan when loose skin is a major concern.Everglow By Robyn

What Sofwave feels like

Most people describe Sofwave as:

• Warm, prickly pulses under the skin

• Comfortable with topical numbing and cooling

• A 30–45 minute treatment depending on the areaBelle Meade Medical

After treatment, you might have:

• Very mild redness

• Slight swelling or tenderness

These typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Most women go right back to work or errands after their appointment.

When you’ll see results

Sofwave results build gradually as your body lays down new collagen:

• Some patients notice tighter, “bouncier” skin within a few weeks

• Full results typically appear around 3–6 months after treatment

• Improvements can last 1–2 years, depending on your skin, age, and lifestylePhysicians Laser Institute

We often recommend periodic maintenance to keep your results on track — think of it like upkeep for your collagen “savings account.”

Meet Pure Impact™: Muscle toning and body contouring without the gym grind

If Sofwave is your skin-tightening hero, Pure Impact™ is your muscle tone powerhouse.

Pure Impact is a first-of-its-kind, full-body EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) system created by Sofwave that uses proprietary PlyoPulse™ technology to mimic plyometric exercise — the explosive, power-building moves athletes use in high-intensity training.The Aesthetic Guide

It’s FDA-cleared for:

• Improving abdominal tone

• Strengthening abdominal muscles

• Developing a firmer abdomen

• Improving muscle tone and firmness in the arms, thighs, and buttocks

How Pure Impact works

Pure Impact uses up to 16 small, wireless electrodes placed on your target areas — like your abs, thighs, buttocks, or arms. These electrodes deliver carefully controlled electrical impulses that cause intense, involuntary muscle contractions deeper and more comprehensively than you can achieve on your own in a typical workout.

Those contractions:

• Build and strengthen muscle fibers

• Improve muscle tone and firmness

• Support better body contour and posture

• Can help increase metabolic demand in the treated area, complementing your overall body goals

Sessions are typically around 30 minutes, with no downtime. You might feel sore, like a good workout, afterward — that’s a sign the muscles worked.lavieplasticsurgery.com

Who Pure Impact is ideal for

Pure Impact is a great fit if you:

• Want more core strength and abdominal tone

• Have flattened or softened muscle definition after pregnancy or weight changes

• Want firmer thighs, buttocks, and arms without living in the gym

• Have joint pain, back issues, or a busy schedule that makes traditional exercise harder

• Want to pair muscle toning with skin tightening for a more complete body contouring plan

It’s designed to be safe and customizable for any fitness level — but like any medical device, it’s not for everyone. Your consultation at Everglow will include a review of your health history to confirm if it’s right for you.squareoneaesthetics.com

Why Sofwave + Pure Impact = the “Everglow Gym”

Here’s the big secret: you cannot fully fix loose skin with workouts alone, and you cannot fully fix lost muscle tone with skin treatments alone.

You need both the framework and the fabric:

• Muscles = the framework that shapes your body

• Skin = the envelope that drapes over that framework

When you tighten the skin and strengthen the muscles underneath, you get a more natural, lifted, and youthful look — this is the entire philosophy behind Everglow Gym.Everglow By Robyn

Real-life scenarios where the combo shines

1. The post-weight-loss tummy

After weight loss, many women are left with:

• Looser abdominal skin

• Less core strength

• A “soft” or deflated-looking midsection

Everglow Gym approach:

• Pure Impact: Improve abdominal tone and muscle firmness, helping re-shape and support the midsection.FDA Access Data

• Sofwave: Tighten mild to moderate laxity in the skin, improving firmness and smoothness.

The result? A more toned, supported, and tightened appearance that reflects the work you’ve put in with your lifestyle.

2. The “arm reveal” challenge

Arms are a very common complaint — especially when it comes to short sleeves and summer dresses.

You might notice:

• Loose skin along the back of the arms

• Less definition through the triceps and shoulders

• Hesitation about sleeveless tops

Everglow Gym approach:

• Pure Impact: Strengthen the upper arm and shoulder muscles to create more shape and tone.

• Sofwave: Improves upper arm skin laxity, smoothing and firming the area.

You can’t “out-triceps-dip” significant collagen loss — but you can combine muscle building and skin tightening to transform how your arms look and feel.

3. Thighs, buttocks & lower body confidence

Whether it’s cellulite, laxity, or loss of muscle tone in the thighs and buttocks, this area is tough to address with gym work alone.

Everglow Gym approach:

• Pure Impact: Target the glutes and thighs with deep muscle contractions for lift and firmness.lavieplasticsurgery.com

• Sofwave: Address mild skin laxity and cellulite appearance in select areas.

Combined, this supports a more lifted, smoother, and athletic lower body profile.

What to expect from your Everglow Gym treatment plan

Every woman’s body — and goals — are unique. At Everglow, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages.

Here’s what your Everglow Gym journey typically looks like:

1. Comprehensive consultation in Kennebunk

Your visit starts with a one-on-one consultation where we:

• Talk through your concerns (loose skin, stubborn areas, muscle tone, post-weight-loss changes)

• Review your medical history and lifestyle

From there, we design a custom plan using Sofwave, Pure Impact, or both.

2. Personalized treatment mapping

Your provider will outline:

• Which areas are best suited for skin tightening (Sofwave)

• Which areas will benefit most from muscle toning (Pure Impact)

• The recommended number of sessions for each

• The ideal timing between treatments

We’ll also ensure your plan fits with your schedule and comfort level — this is meant to support your life, not take it over.

3. Your Sofwave treatments

On Sofwave days, you can expect:

• Topical numbing as needed

• A treatment time of around 30–45 minutes, depending on area size

• Mild warmth and pressure under the skin during pulses

• Slight redness or tenderness afterward that usually fades quicklyBelle Meade Medical

You can drive yourself home, run errands, or go back to work immediately.

4. Your Pure Impact “workout sessions”

Pure Impact sessions feel like an intense, targeted workout without breaking a sweat.

You’ll:

• Lie comfortably while the Pure Impact electrodes are placed

• Feel waves of strong muscle contractions (we customize intensity based on your comfort and goals)

• Be done in about 30 minutes

Most treatment series involve multiple sessions (4-6) over a few weeks for best results.lavieplasticsurgery.com

5. Results & long-term maintenance

Over the following weeks to months, you’ll notice:

• Improved muscle tone in treated areas

• Gradually firmer, tighter skin

• How long results typically last

• When maintenance sessions are recommended

• Ways to support your results with lifestyle, skincare, and other Everglow servicesEverglow By Robyn

Safety & science: Is Sofwave and Pure Impact safe?

Both Sofwave and Pure Impact were developed with safety and clinical evidence in mind.

Sofwave safety

Sofwave is FDA-cleared as a non-invasive dermatological treatment to improve facial lines and wrinkles, lift the brow and neck/submental area, improve skin laxity on the upper arms, treat acne scars, and provide temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Because it uses focused ultrasound energy targeted at a specific skin depth with surface cooling, it has:

• No incisions

• No surgical scars

• Minimal downtime

Common temporary side effects include:

• Redness

• Swelling

• Mild tenderness

Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by trained medical providers.

Pure Impact safety

Pure Impact is an FDA-cleared EMS device for improving muscle tone and strength in the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks, using PlyoPulse technology for anatomically accurate, plyometric-style muscle contractions.lavieplasticsurgery.com

Expected sensations and side effects may include:

• Strong muscle contractions during treatment

• Post-treatment muscle soreness is similar to a challenging workout

• Mild redness where electrodes were placed

It’s not suitable for everyone — for example, those with certain implanted devices, uncontrolled medical conditions, or who are pregnant may not be candidates. That’s why your consultation and medical history are essential.

FAQ: Sofwave, Pure Impact & Everglow Gym in Kennebunk

Does it hurt?

• Pure Impact feels like powerful, rhythmic muscle contractions — intense but adjustable based on your comfort level.

We stay with you, talk you through everything, and adjust settings as needed.
