SoftWave Therapy jumpstarts the body’s natural healing—not just masking pain, but repairing tissue at the cellular level. While some patients feel better right away, long-term regeneration unfolds over a 12-week biological process.
Understanding this timeline helps you set clear expectations, stay motivated, and make smart choices throughout your recovery.

SoftWave Therapy activates your body’s own healing response. It’s non-invasive, requires no downtime, and supports recovery from the inside out. Here’s what your recovery may look like over the next 12 weeks:
Your body begins the healing process.
SoftWave signals your cells to “wake up” and begin repair. Blood flow improves, jumpstarting recovery. You may feel early relief—but remember, this is just the beginning.
A lot is happening under the surface.
Healing signals stay active as new cells form and replace damaged tissue. Stay gently active—but don’t overdo it.
Tissue is rebuilding from the inside out.
Tiny new blood vessels bring nutrients and oxygen to the area. You may notice improved movement or less pain—but tissue is still fragile.
This is when real change sets in.
The damaged tissue starts to feel stronger. Pain relief may become more consistent. This is when long-term healing takes hold.

SoftWave’s regenerative cascade unfolds over 12 weeks, mirroring vascular, cellular, and metabolic repair phases. Use this timeline to educate patients, avoid re-injury, and guide rehab protocols.
SoftWave initiates the regenerative response.
eNOS and VEGF levels begin rising within hours. This signals the body to improve microcirculation and trigger early angiogenesis. Patients may feel some relief, but structural healing hasn’t begun.
Biological signaling ramps up.
Sustained eNOS and VEGF activity supports angiogenesis. PCNA and other proliferation markers indicate early turnover. Use caution to avoid mechanical overload during this critical cellular activity window.
Tissue remodeling becomes measurable.
Capillary ingrowth improves perfusion. Metabolic activity increases and the groundwork for structural change is underway. Continue to scale rehab gently.
Healing stabilizes.
Angiogenesis tapers, but tissue remodeling persists. Clinical improvements in bone, tendon, and ligament become visible. Monitor for consistency in strength, function, and patient-reported outcomes.
