Sofwave: Ultrasound Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

what is sofwave ultrasound skin treatment

Sofwave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to improve mild to moderate skin laxity. By heating the deeper layers of your skin, Sofwave stimulates collagen production—resulting in firmer, smoother skin over time. It’s clinically proven to lift the eyebrows, tighten the jawline, and improve lines and wrinkles on the face and neck—without surgery or downtime.

how it works

Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s mid-dermal layer—where collagen regeneration begins. This controlled energy creates precise thermal zones that trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen production without disturbing the skin’s surface. Beyond just lifting and firming, Sofwave also holds FDA clearance to treat mild acne scars and reduce cellulite—giving your skin a more even, refined finish.

common questions

how many sofwave treatments will i need?

Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session. In some cases, a second treatment may be recommended 6–12 months later to enhance or maintain results, especially in areas with more significant laxity.

Results typically last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your skin condition and aging process. Many clients opt for annual maintenance treatments to keep their collagen production consistently stimulated.

Discomfort is minimal. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and most patients describe the sensation as a warm prickling or tingling. 

Some clients notice a subtle lift within the first few weeks, but full results typically appear over 3 months as your body produces more collagen.

Sofwave is ideal for early to moderate signs of aging, but isn’t a substitute for surgical procedures. It’s best for patients who want visible lifting and tightening without going under the knife.

Both use ultrasound, but Sofwave targets a more superficial dermal layer—making it gentler, faster, and more comfortable with a lower risk of nerve-related side effects. Many prefer Sofwave for its shorter treatment time and minimal discomfort.

We recommend avoiding hot showers, exfoliating products, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours. You can resume your regular skincare routine the next day.
