EXCEPTIONAL Safety Profile
HIGH Patient Satisfaction
Sofwave™is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next-generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology.
Sofwave can treat acne scars and lift the eyebrows and lax submental (beneath the chin) and neck tissue, which can also affect the appearance of lax tissue in the submental and neck regions.
With the new body handpiece we now can treat the upper arms, knees, abdomen, thighs and buttocks to achieve tighter skin with reduced sag and less crepiness. Body areas typically require a minimum of two sessions.
The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
The depth for effectively treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Sofwave’s unique technology generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis. The integrated cooling mechanism protects the uppermost skin layer.
The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Today, various energy-based technologies are designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Unlike more intense treatments involving skin penetration, Sofwave is entirely noninvasive and is appropriate for all skin types and colors.
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.
MicroNeedling RF uses radio frequency delivered via tiny needles inserted in the skin. Thermage relies on “bulk heating” from radio frequency to firm the skin. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound and reaches deeper into the skin to underlying tissue. Most lifting and tightening effects come from the deposit of heat.
Another skin “tightening” device we use is Ellacor, which actually reduces the amount of skin by extracting tissue, but without the use of heat. Each treatment has its strengths, and often combination procedures are required to reach the desired results.

Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on your skin condition and response. More mature patients with deeper and more significant wrinkles and laxity may opt for a 2nd treatment 6 to 8 weeks after the initial procedure.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmness in the skin. Treatment is made comfortable by applying a topical anesthetic cream just before the treatment. Following the treatment, there are no sensations and no need to apply special care to the skin. Daily care can be resumed immediately post-treatment.
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. Expect final treatment results at 6 months.
In Sofwave™’s clinical trials, results have been shown in as little as post-one 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.
