What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to target the mid-dermal layer and stimulate collagen production. FDA-cleared to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, it delivers controlled ultrasound energy precisely beneath the surface without damaging surrounding tissue. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with little to no downtime.
Treating the root cause of aging skin
Sofwave uses SUPERB™ technology to deliver synchronized ultrasound energy precisely 1.5 mm below the skin’s surface, where collagen production occurs. This controlled thermal injury triggers the body’s healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation without damaging the outer skin. By targeting the mid-dermis, Sofwave addresses the root cause of sagging and wrinkles: collagen depletion. The result is visibly lifted, firmer skin over time.
Sofwave treats:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Sagging brows and jawline
- Loose neck skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars
- Cellulite on the thighs and buttocks
The treatment & recovery process
During Sofwave, a cooling gel is applied to your skin, and the handheld device is gently guided over targeted areas. You’ll feel brief pulses of warmth as the ultrasound energy penetrates the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen production. The built-in cooling system ensures your comfort. Each treatment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Side Effects
Sofwave is well-tolerated with minimal side effects. You may experience slight redness, warmth, or mild swelling in the treated area, which resolves within a few hours. There’s no bruising, peeling, or downtime, so you can return to your routine right away. Most patients find the treatment comfortable, with only brief, tolerable sensations during each pulse.
Downtime
There’s no downtime after Sofwave, and you can resume your daily activities immediately. Aftercare is simple: avoid excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin. You don’t need to follow a strict recovery routine, and there’s no peeling or bruising. Most patients return to work or social events the same day.
Onset of results
You may notice a subtle lift within a few weeks of your Sofwave treatment, with optimal results developing after about three months as collagen production continues. Your skin will appear firmer, smoother, and more youthful. Since Sofwave treats the deeper layers of skin, the improvements continue to evolve naturally without looking overdone or artificial.
Longevity
The results from Sofwave can last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your skin condition and natural aging process. Because it stimulates your collagen production, the effects develop gradually and hold up well over time. You may choose to schedule maintenance treatments annually to preserve your refreshed, lifted look with continued collagen support.
Frequency
Most patients achieve noticeable results with just one Sofwave treatment. However, depending on your skin’s condition and goals, you may benefit from a second session after several months. Annual maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain collagen production and maintain your skin’s firmness, smoothness, and youthfulness over time.
