Sofwave is a skin-tightening device that utilizes breakthrough ultrasound technology to revitalize the skin by addressing mild to moderate skin laxity through the stimulation of new collagen production. Sofwave™ is FDA cleared and clinically proven to remodel collagen, which improves facial lines and wrinkles, and lifts the eyebrows, submental, and neck area.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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.
Because of Sofwave’s ability to stimulate your body’s production of collagen, which is the natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness, patients could achieve the following results:
- Tighter, lifted appearance, especially in areas that have started to droop or sag (e.g., brows, cheeks, jawline, neck)
- Toned and firmer skin with a youthful bounce (more elastic)
According to its clinical studies, 88% of patients were marked as improved or significantly improved in the appearance of facial wrinkles and necklines 12 weeks after a single Sofwave™ treatment.
Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
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.
The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 3 months, patients are expected to see ongoing improvements for up to 6 months after their treatment.
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.

Sofwave is an ultrasound treatment for men and women who are looking for skin tightening of the face and neck.
Sofwave™ is ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity in the face and neck. The device is non-invasive and is safe to use on all skin tones and types, including darker skin. Sofwave treatments are well tolerated by most patients.
Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is sagging skin. Sofwave’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology generates heat at a depth in the mid-dermis to promote new collagen growth.
