Sofwave Non-Surgical Face & Neck Lifting
Sofwave™is an FDA cleared, non-invasive treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. In December 2022 Sofwave™ was approved by FDA for the short-term improvement of cellulite, making it another viable option for cellulite. The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery, stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin which leads to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
Before & After Treatment

How does Sofwave™ work ?
The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Our unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis. Additionally, there is an integrated cooling mechanism Sofcool ™ that protects the uppermost skin layer from burning . The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response, called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

HOW IS SOFWAVE™ BETTER THAN OTHER EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES ?
Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Aggressive options (such as lasers) can cause significant damage to the skin surface, leading to a long healing period, considerable downtime and may have a high risk of side effects. Even RF micro needling treatments, that have recently become popular, can be uncomfortable, risky and require downtime . Gentler, non-invasive solutions (such as IPL and noninvasive RF) have shown limited efficacy, and in most cases, require multiple treatments . Sofwave™’s unique technology enables the controlled delivery of energy, in terms of amount and location, while protecting the skin surface with an integrated cooling mechanism. Even better, there is no downtime.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED ?
Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
WHAT DOES THE SOFWAVE™ TREATMENT FEEL LIKE ?
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the treatment. Following the treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special care on the skin. Daily care can be resumed immediately post treatment.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS ?
The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment . In Sofwave™’s clinical trials, results have been shown in as little as, post one treatment.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH SOFWAVE ?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe. Immediately post treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours post treatment.

What Can Sofwave Skin Tightening Treatment be Used For?
Sofwave for Skin Tightening & Wrinkle Reduction
Sofwave works to restore the collagen support that firms and tones skin – and it helps reduce wrinkles by improving that elasticity and restoring the bounce of youthful skin. Sofwave works best for wrinkles that are formed by repetitive movements, such as smiling, squinting, pursing your lips, etc. (crow’s feet and fine lines around the mouth, cheek, and undereye) versus those that are caused by volume loss, like deep folds around the mouth and jowls. This is because wrinkles caused by repetitive motion are really just repeated bending and breaking down of collagen directly below that part of the skin’s surface, and when we can restore and repair that collagen, the skin looks smoother and more youthful.
Sofwave is a not spot treatment, like so many of our wrinkle-reduction treatments, but it does help remove wrinkles in a very natural and subtle way – think of it as a filter for real life!.

Sofwave for Non-Surgical Facelift
If you are looking for a single treatment for the full face (or full face and neck) that will make a real impact but with no risk of unnatural-looking results and at an affordable price, then Sofwave is a treatment you need to know about.
Unlike so many non-surgical skin tightening treatments, Sofwave isn’t priced out by the area – it’s either full face or full face and neck. We’ll cover more about pricing below, but the important thing here is that you’re treating everything at once, so you don’t end up with just a cheek lift or just a brow lift – because that can be a bit unnatural-looking.
