What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses next-generation ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and improve skin structure.
How does Sofwave work?
Unlike older technologies, Sofwave delivers precise ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis (approximately 1.5mm deep) without damaging the skin’s surface. This helps to tighten lax skin, smooth fine lines, and create a more lifted, youthful appearance. It is FDA-cleared for treating facial lines and wrinkles, brow lifting, and submental (under the chin) tissue.
When is Sofwave Recommended?
Sofwave is ideal for individuals looking for a non-surgical solution to mild to moderate skin laxity and early signs of aging. It is commonly recommended for:
- Mild to moderate skin sagging on the face or neck
- Fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Drooping eyebrows or lower face
- Patients seeking skin rejuvenation with no downtime
Sofwave is suitable for all skin types and tones.
How is the Sofwave treatment Performed?
The treatment is performed in-office and typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to increase comfort. The Sofwave handpiece glides over the skin, delivering ultrasound energy in a controlled manner to heat the mid-dermis. This triggers a natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Most patients find the treatment well-tolerated, with only a mild warming sensation.
Recovery After Sofwave
One of Sofwave’s biggest advantages is that there is virtually no downtime. Patients may experience some mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Normal activities, including applying makeup and returning to work, can resume the same day. Gradual improvement in skin tone and tightness becomes noticeable over 4–12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Risks of Sofwave
Sofwave is considered very safe, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there are minor risks:
- Temporary redness or swelling
- Mild discomfort during treatment
- Rare bruising
- Slight skin sensitivity
These effects are generally mild and resolve quickly.

- Non-invasive, no needles or surgery
- Safe for all skin tones
