Sofwave™is an FDA cleared, non-invasive treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. In December 2022 Sofwave™ was approved by FDA for the short-term improvement of cellulite, making it another viable option for cellulite.
The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery, stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin which leads to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

How does Sofwave™ work ?

The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Our unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis. Additionally, there is an integrated cooling mechanism Sofcool ™ that protects the uppermost skin layer from burning.
The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response, called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
HOW IS SOFWAVE™ BETTER THAN OTHER EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES ?
Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Aggressive options (such as lasers) can cause significant damage to the skin surface, leading to a long healing period, considerable downtime and may have a high risk of side effects. Even RF micro needling treatments, that have recently become popular, can be uncomfortable, risky and require downtime.
Gentler, non-invasive solutions (such as IPL and noninvasive RF) have shown limited efficacy, and in most cases, require multiple treatments.
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.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS ?
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, post one treatment.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH SOFWAVE ?
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 post treatment.
How Many Sofwave Treatments Are Needed?

Most patients see noticeable results after just one treatment, with full results developing over 12 weeks. Some individuals may benefit from a second session, depending on skin condition and goals.

Why Sofwave in better than Ultherapy and Thermage?

——

Sofwave, Ultherapy, and Thermage are all non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatments, but they differ in technology, depth of treatment, comfort, downtime, and ideal candidates. Here’s why Sofwave is often considered better—especially in medspas and among patients seeking a more comfortable yet effective experience:

1. More Comfortable Treatment

  • Sofwave uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology, which delivers energy at a shallower depth (1.5 mm into the mid-dermis), avoiding deeper tissues like nerves and bones.
  • Ultherapy and Thermage can be more painful:
    • Ultherapy delivers microfocused ultrasound deeper (up to 4.5 mm), including SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).
    • Thermage uses radiofrequency, which heats the dermis but can cause discomfort due to tissue heating and longer treatment times.
  • No anesthesia is typically needed for Sofwave, whereas Ultherapy often requires numbing or even oral medication.

2. Shorter Downtime

  • Sofwave has minimal to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
  • Ultherapy may cause swelling, redness, and tenderness for a few days.
  • Thermage can cause swelling or minor bruising in some patients.

3. Safer for More Skin Types

  • Sofwave’s ultrasound energy is less likely to affect melanin, making it safer for darker skin tones.
  • Thermage and Ultherapy are generally safe for all skin types, but risks like hyperpigmentation are slightly higher with other modalities in darker Fitzpatrick types.

4. Newer, More Precise Technology

  • Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrow, submental (under chin) area, and neck, and improving fine lines and wrinkles.
  • It uses a cooling mechanism to protect the epidermis, allowing for high energy delivery with minimal surface damage.
  • Ultherapy is older and targets multiple depths, but that can lead to inconsistent results depending on the technician’s skill.

5. Fewer Risks of Fat Loss

  • Sofwave focuses on the mid-dermis. This reduces the risk of unintended facial fat loss, which is a known concern with Ultherapy and Thermage when energy goes too deep.

6. Faster Treatment Times

  • Sofwave usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area.
  • Thermage can take up to 90 minutes.
  • Ultherapy treatment times vary, but larger areas can take 60–90 minutes
