What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a cutting-edge, non-invasive ultrasound technology designed to tighten and firm lax skin, build collagen and enhance skin elasticity.
It is FDA-approved to improve mild to moderate skin laxity along the jawline, neck, cheeks as well as eyelids and brows. It also helps improve crepey/wrinkled/lax skin on the arms and the legs. It is ideal for patients who are not interested in facial surgery or want to delay facial surgery. It is also great for patients who have had prior facial surgery but have noted some return of skin laxity. Additionally, it helps tighten skin off the face/neck including arms and legs.
Sofwave fits in with our shared philosophy when it comes to cosmetic treatments: long-lasting, natural improvements over time, and particularly those focused on collagen-building.
Thank you for trusting us with your care. We’re truly excited to offer this technology and help you look and feel your best.

Sofwave Technology and Safety:
- Years of research and proven clinical efficacy and safety with exceptional safety profile
- Synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology: multiple ultrasound beams provides high levels of coverage with each pulse
- Fractional heating of the mid-dermis (set to 1.5mm) stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which leads to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and skin tightening WITHOUT risk of damage to subcutaneous fat, muscle or nerves.
- The ultrasound waves bypass the surface layer of the skin, meaning no needles, no incisions, and no downtime.
- Treats all skin types
- No damage to the underlying structures (fat, muscles, nerves)
- Skin Tightening and Lifting: Sofwave targets areas where the skin may be sagging or losing its firmness, providing a natural lift.
- Improved Texture and Fine Lines: By promoting collagen production, it helps smooth fine lines and improve overall skin texture.
- Quick and Convenient: Treatments typically take only 30 to 60 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.
- No Downtime: You can return to your daily activities immediately after your session.
Areas that can be treated:
- Lax skin on the neck, jawline and cheeks
- Hooded or lax eyelid and brow skin
- Crepey skin on the body (arms/thighs)
Your Sofwave treatment:
- We typically recommend 2 treatments; sometimes 3 depending on the level of skin laxity and the area treated with 1 treatment a year for maintenance
- Treatments typically are 30 min-1 hour; with 1 hour of numbing prior
- As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel short-lived warmth of the skin as the pulse is applied. Topical numbing and the Zimmer cooler help to reduce any discomfort.
- There is no downtime after the procedure including immediately after
When to expect to see results of your Sofwave treatment:
- The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment .
- In Sofwave’s clinical trials, results have been shown in as little as 1 month following one treatment.
