The skin gradually changes over the years. Collagen levels decrease, facial contours become softer, and the skin loses firmness and elasticity. While surgical procedures were once the only way to achieve a lifting effect, Sofwave™ now offers an innovative, non-invasive solution for skin tightening and natural lifting without surgery, injectables, or lengthy downtime.
Sofwave™ is considered one of the most advanced technologies in medical aesthetics worldwide and is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrows, neck, and jawline, as well as improving fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin quality.
Sofwave™ is an advanced ultrasound treatment that stimulates the skin from within to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The technology uses precisely targeted ultrasound energy delivered to the mid-dermis—the layer where collagen regeneration and skin tightening naturally occur.
Sofwave™ stands out for its precise energy delivery. Thanks to its patented SUPERB™ technology, the skin is heated evenly at a controlled depth of approximately 1.5 mm without damaging the skin's surface. This creates powerful collagen stimulation with minimal downtime.
There are several technologies available for skin tightening, but Sofwave™ has gained international recognition for its unique combination of effectiveness, comfort, and minimal recovery time.
The patented Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology distributes ultrasound energy evenly and precisely throughout the targeted treatment area.
Unlike some laser or radiofrequency (RF) treatments, Sofwave™ leaves the outer layer of the skin intact. This significantly reduces the risk of prolonged redness and minimizes recovery time.
Sofwave™ can be safely used on a wide range of skin types and skin tones.
The treatment stimulates the body's own collagen production, resulting in subtle, elegant improvements without adding volume or creating an unnatural appearance.
Many clients notice visible improvements after just one session, with results continuing to develop over the following months.
Every treatment begins with a personal consultation, during which your skin condition and aesthetic goals are carefully assessed.
During the procedure, the practitioner moves the Sofwave™ handpiece smoothly across the treatment area. The ultrasound energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin, while the integrated Sofcool™ cooling system continuously protects and cools the skin's surface.
Most clients experience a sensation of warmth and brief pulses of energy during the treatment. Depending on the treatment area, a session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.
After the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, but most clients are able to resume their normal daily activities immediately.
Sofwave™ involves minimal downtime, allowing most clients to return to their normal daily routine immediately after treatment. The skin may temporarily appear slightly red, feel warm, or be mildly sensitive, but these effects usually resolve within a few hours.
Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that uses synchronous, parallel ultrasound beams (SUPERB™ technology) to heat the mid-dermis at a depth of approximately 1.5 mm. This controlled heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, lifted skin from within. The epidermis is actively cooled throughout the treatment and remains intact.
The ultrasound energy precisely heats the mid-dermis, triggering the skin’s natural healing response. The result is firmer, tighter-feeling skin, a more defined jawline, and a smoother skin texture—without surgery, needles, or visible downtime.
Sofwave is ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, a less defined jawline, submental fullness (double chin) or neck laxity, drooping eyebrows, and dull skin texture. It can also be used on the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs.
Sofwave is not recommended for individuals with severe skin laxity (where a surgical facelift may be more appropriate), those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, people with active skin infections or severe acne, individuals with pacemakers or metal implants in the treatment area, those who have used isotretinoin within the past six months, or patients taking blood-thinning medication.
The treatment is not completely painless, but it is generally well tolerated. With the use of a topical numbing cream, most patients experience a warm, deep tingling sensation, particularly over bony areas. On average, discomfort is rated between 3 and 5 on a scale of 10.
Initial improvements are often visible after 2 to 4 weeks. The full effect develops gradually over 3 to 6 months, as collagen production takes time.
For most patients, results last between 1 and 2 years, depending on age, skin quality, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and sleep. While Sofwave does not stop the aging process, it can significantly slow its visible effects.
For most indications, a single treatment is sufficient. In cases of more pronounced skin laxity, a second treatment after 3 to 6 months may be beneficial. For maintenance, we recommend repeating the treatment every 1 to 2 years.
There is little to no downtime. The skin may feel warm and appear slightly red for a few hours, and mild swelling may occur. Most patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Both treatments use ultrasound technology, but HIFU delivers focused energy at deeper points in the skin (the SMAS layer). Sofwave distributes energy evenly through parallel ultrasound beams in the mid-dermis. This generally makes Sofwave more comfortable, with a lower risk profile.
Yes, when performed by a trained medical professional in a clinical setting. SUPERB™ technology is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI).
Temporary redness, mild swelling, and tenderness are the most common side effects. Occasionally, small palpable bumps may develop but typically resolve within a few weeks. Rare side effects include temporary pigment changes, superficial burns, or short-term numbness. Treatment areas are carefully assessed beforehand to minimise risk.
Yes, although timing is important. Sofwave should not be performed directly over recently placed dermal fillers. Fillers should either have been in place for at least two weeks before treatment or be administered after the Sofwave procedure. Botox can be performed during the same treatment period, provided there are a few days between procedures.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid saunas, hot baths, and intense exercise. Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 sunscreen for at least two weeks. Refrain from using aggressive skincare products, such as chemical peels or retinol, for one week.
Sofwave stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to maintain firmer, stronger, and more resilient skin over time. Periodic maintenance treatments help preserve these results.
