Book AppointmentLift and Tighten Without the Surgery
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology, abbreviated as SUPERB, to deliver ultrasound energy precisely into the mid-dermis. That layer of the skin is where collagen and elastin live, and by heating it in a controlled way, Sofwave triggers the body to produce new structural proteins that gradually tighten and lift the skin. The depth of energy delivery is carefully calibrated to avoid the outer layers of skin, which means the surface stays intact and there's no visible injury, peeling, or recovery period. Most patients experience mild discomfort that can be managed with topical anesthetic, and the redness that follows typically resolves within a few hours. The whole treatment takes between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the area being treated.
How Sofwave Works and What to Expect
Sofwave is a solid option for people who are starting to notice skin laxity on the face, neck, or brow area but aren't ready for or interested in surgery. It works particularly well for the forehead, cheeks, under the chin, and the neck, and can also be applied to body areas like the arms and legs. Results develop over a period of weeks to months as collagen production ramps up and the tissue reorganizes. One treatment is often sufficient to see meaningful improvement, though some patients choose a second session to further enhance their results. It's suitable for all skin types and requires no downtime, which makes it easy to work into a normal schedule without planning around recovery.

Treatment Benefits
Lifts & Tightens Skin
SUPERB ultrasound technology heats the mid-dermis to stimulate new collagen production, producing a gradual lifting and tightening effect on the face and neck.
No Downtime
There's no recovery period after Sofwave. Any mild redness typically resolves within a few hours, and normal activities can be resumed the same day.
Treats Face & Body
Sofwave can address laxity on the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck, arms, and legs, making it a flexible option for both facial and body tightening concerns.
All Skin Types
The ultrasound energy targets deeper tissue layers rather than surface pigment, making Sofwave a safe and effective choice for all skin tones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results from Sofwave?
Results develop gradually as the body's collagen production responds to the treatment. Many patients begin noticing improvement within four to six weeks, with full results appearing over three to six months.
Is Sofwave painful?
Most patients experience some warmth and mild discomfort during the treatment. Topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to keep the experience manageable. The sensation typically resolves immediately after the session.
How many treatments are needed?
Many people see meaningful results from a single treatment. Some choose a second session for more pronounced improvement, particularly for areas with more advanced laxity.
How is Sofwave different from other ultrasound tightening treatments?
Sofwave's SUPERB technology delivers energy in parallel beams that target the mid-dermis specifically, which helps protect the outer skin layers while still reaching the depth needed for effective collagen stimulation.
