What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a breakthrough, FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that uses innovative ultrasound technology to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin. This cutting-edge procedure stimulates natural collagen production to address fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity without surgery or needles.
How Sofwave Works: The Power of Three
Sofwave’s proprietary SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology delivers ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermis layer of your skin at an optimal depth of 1.5mm. This targeted approach triggers a triple-action regenerative process:
- Collagen Stimulation: Creates new structural support for firmer skin
- Elastin Production: Improves skin flexibility and natural bounce
- Hyaluronic Acid Formation: Enhances hydration and plumpness
The procedure features Sofcool™ technology, which protects your skin’s surface while allowing the ultrasound energy to work effectively in deeper layers, ensuring a comfortable experience with optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Browse our most frequently asked questions to learn more about our treatments, expected results, and what to expect during your visit.
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is an advanced, non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to lift and tighten skin. It uses innovative Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology to target the mid-dermis layer of skin, where collagen is produced, creating a controlled thermal effect that stimulates natural collagen regeneration.
How does Sofwave work?
Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy into the skin’s dermal layer at the precise depth of 1.5mm, where collagen production occurs. The controlled heat creates a thermal effect that triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
What areas can be treated with Sofwave?
Sofwave effectively treats facial areas including the brow, neck, under the chin, and décolletage. It’s FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow, lifting lax submental (under the chin) and neck tissue, as well as improving facial lines and wrinkles.
Additionally, Sofwave can now address body concerns with treatments for:
- Abdomen/stomach area to tighten mild skin laxity and improve texture
- Above the knees to reduce sagging and improve skin firmness
- Upper arms to address “bat wing” appearance and tighten loose skin
- Inner thighs to improve skin laxity and texture
- Buttocks for mild lifting and improved skin quality
- Back of hands to address thin, crepey skin
These body treatments are particularly effective for areas with mild to moderate skin laxity that don’t require surgical intervention.
Is Sofwave painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. The device includes an integrated cooling system that protects the skin’s surface while the ultrasound energy is delivered to the deeper layers. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before treatment to enhance comfort.
How long does a Sofwave treatment take?
A typical Sofwave facial treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Body treatments may take longer, with larger areas like the abdomen or thighs requiring 45-60 minutes per session. This still makes it convenient with minimal disruption to your day.
Is there any downtime after Sofwave?
One of Sofwave’s key benefits is that there is minimal to no downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some may experience temporary redness or slight swelling that typically resolves within a few hours.
When will I see results from my Sofwave treatment?
Some patients notice immediate improvement in skin appearance, but the most significant results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. You will typically see noticeable lifting and tightening within 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 3 months after treatment.
Body treatments may take slightly longer to show full results, with optimal improvement visible around 3-6 months as collagen remodeling continues in larger treatment areas.
How many Sofwave treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve their desired results with a single treatment session for facial areas. For body treatments, depending on the extent of skin laxity and the area being treated, your provider might recommend 1-3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
How long do Sofwave results last?
Sofwave results can last up to a year or longer, depending on your skin’s natural aging process. Maintenance treatments are recommended annually to sustain optimal results for both face and body areas.
Who is an ideal candidate for Sofwave?
Sofwave is suitable for adults of all skin types who are beginning to notice signs of aging such as skin laxity, fine lines, or wrinkles. It’s particularly effective for those in their 40s to 60s who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery.
For body treatments, ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity without excessive fat deposits in the treatment area. Sofwave works best for skin tightening rather than fat reduction, making it complementary to weight loss or body contouring procedures.
Is Sofwave safe?
Yes, Sofwave is FDA-cleared and has undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure safety. The procedure is performed by trained professionals who customize the treatment for your specific skin needs and concerns.
What makes Sofwave different from other skin tightening treatments?
Sofwave’s unique SUPERB™ technology delivers ultrasound energy in a precise, controlled manner that targets the optimal depth for collagen production. Unlike other treatments that may affect multiple skin layers or require multiple sessions, Sofwave effectively treats the mid-dermis layer in just one session with minimal risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
For body treatments, Sofwave offers the advantage of targeting specific areas without affecting surrounding tissues, making it more comfortable with less downtime compared to more aggressive body tightening procedures.
Can Sofwave be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Sofwave complements many other aesthetic treatments such as injectables (Botox, fillers), skin resurfacing procedures, and medical-grade skincare. For body treatments, Sofwave works well in combination with body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting or EmSculpt, creating a comprehensive approach to body rejuvenation. Your provider can create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
How should I prepare for a Sofwave treatment?
Preparation is minimal. We recommend:
- Avoiding sun exposure for 1-2 weeks before treatment
- Discontinuing retinoids or harsh exfoliants 3-5 days before treatment
- Informing your provider of any medications you’re taking
- For body treatments, avoiding caffeine on treatment day to minimize discomfort
Is there any aftercare required following Sofwave?
Aftercare is simple and straightforward:
- Apply sunscreen daily and minimize sun exposure
- Continue your normal skincare routine (you may resume retinoids after 2-3 days)
- Stay hydrated to support your skin’s healing process
- For body treatments, gentle massage of the treated area may be recommended to enhance results
- Follow any specific instructions provided by your treatment specialist
How much does Sofwave treatment cost?
The total cost depends on the specific areas being treated and whether you’re having one or multiple areas addressed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized quote based on your specific treatment plan.
