Lift and Tighten Your Skin with Sofwave

Sofwave is a revolutionary, FDA-approved technology that improves facial lines and reduces wrinkles with minimal downtime. It is a skin-tightening device that utilizes proprietary synchronized parallel ultrasound beam technology to address moderate signs of aging, including skin laxity, and provides a refreshed, lifted appearance.

As we get older, collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to wrinkle and sag. Sofwave’s unique delivery system of ultrasound energy smoothes wrinkles and revitalizes the skin. It can be used on the face, neck and many areas of the body, including décolleté, arms and hands.

What Is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that targets the mid-dermis layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Using precise ultrasound energy, Sofwave penetrates the skin’s surface without damaging surrounding tissues. The goal is to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging in areas like the face, neck, and décolletage. This technology works by triggering a natural healing process that enhances skin structure from within. Over time, Sofwave improves the overall skin tone and texture, delivering long-lasting results that help you maintain a youthful look.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver controlled ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen production. The heat generated by this energy remodels the collagen structure, tightening the skin and improving elasticity. Unlike more invasive procedures, Sofwave works beneath the skin’s surface without causing any damage to the top layer, resulting in minimal downtime. Most treatments are completed in about 30-45 minutes, with patients able to resume normal activities immediately. The full results develop over three to six months as new collagen forms, providing gradual and natural improvements in skin firmness and texture.

What is Sofwave Used For?

By targeting the middle layer of the skin where collagen should be most abundant, Sofwave works to restore collagen, which helps with:

Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
Firming and toning the skin
Lifting and tightening lax areas (effective for brows, jawline, and neck)

How are Sofwave Treatments Done?

A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to enhance comfort in preparation for the treatment. Patients feel warmness on the skin as the treatment is delivered. The Sofwave device provides optimal epidermal (skin surface) protection as it is equipped with a cooling mechanism to protect the top layer of skin.

Following treatment, no special care of the treated area is required, and patients can resume their normal activities. Mild swelling and redness may occur, but are minimal and typically resolve within 24 hours.

Most people benefit from initially doing 2 treatments at 6 – 8 week intervals, and maintenance no sooner than 6 months later.
