About Sofwave
Sofwave is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that can rejuvenate the skin by lifting, tightening, and smoothing areas such as the brow, jawline, neck, and décolleté. Using Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology, Sofwave delivers precise energy to the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

The Sofwave Session
During your Sofwave treatment, a handheld device is applied to your skin to deliver ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermal layer. You’ll feel a warm sensation as the energy stimulates collagen production while a built-in cooling system keeps the surface of your skin comfortable. The treatment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your daily routine immediately after the session.
Aftercare Guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily
- Refrain from using retinoids or exfoliants for 2–3 days
- Apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin
- Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 48 hours
- Monitor for mild redness or swelling, which typically resolves quickly
- Contact us if you experience any unusual discomfort or reactions
The Recovery Process
After your Sofwave treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away—there’s no downtime required. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area, but these side effects resolve within a few hours. There’s no peeling, bruising, or significant discomfort. Most patients feel fine immediately after the session and don’t need any special recovery time. It’s a quick, easy treatment with natural-looking results that improve over time.
Sofwave FAQs
When will I see the results?
