Sofwave™ Skin Tightening
Sofwave’s intense ultrasound technology with integrated cooling treats wrinkles and saggy skin on the face and neck, with no downtime. This results in noticeably tighter, naturally better-looking skin without surgery. Both men and women of all ages can benefit from Sofwave if they want tighter, smoother skin, are not ready for surgery, want to maintain results from other treatments, or simply want to prevent sagging.
Software is a skin-tightening device that uses ground-breaking ultrasound technology to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. FDA-approved Sofwave also addresses mild to moderate skin laxity by stimulating collagen production in the skin. When collagen production starts to break down in our 20s, fine lines and wrinkles begin to develop, but you may not notice them right away. Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to increase collagen production, restoring your smooth, youthful appearance once again. Results from the procedure appear over time, with the improvement that is both natural and long-lasting.
| Benefits | Like other ultrasound procedures, a smooth applicator is placed on the top of your skin. Heat is produced below the surface of your skin to naturally and gradually create new collagen and elastic tissue and tighten the skin. Because of its state-of-the-art technology utilizing integrated cooling and high intensity, high frequency, multiple ultrasound beams, Softwave is more effective, more comfortable, and faster than Ultherapy and Thermage. |

Eyebrows (“Brow Wow”), cheeks, below eyes, jowls, jawlines and necks can all be tightened and/or lifted. While only 1 treatment is needed, we recommend a second treatment in 2-3 months after the first for optimal results. Because we continue to age, we recommend 1 maintenance treatment every year.

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 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.
How does Sofwave™ work? The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. 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 microneedling treatments, which 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 before 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 months 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.
