What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid deep within the skin. This technology is clinically proven to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin lift and firmness.

Sofwave is FDA-Cleared to:

  • Improve fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Lift the eyebrow 
  • Treat acne scars 
  • Lift the area under the chin (submental) 
  • Lift the neck 
  • Improve the appearance of skin laxity on the upper arms 
  • Improve the appearance of cellulite (short-term) 

Sofwave is fast, effective, and a favorite among celebrities for a reason!

Sofwave Non-Invasive Skin Rejuvenation Technology 

Sofwave offers an innovative approach to skin rejuvenation, delivering noticeable, long-term improvements with maximum comfort and zero downtime. This cutting-edge treatment relies on two key technologies: SUPERB™ ultrasound energy and the integrated Sofcool™ cooling system.  

SUPERB™ Ultrasound Energy

Sofwave uses patented Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™) to deliver ultrasound energy to the mid-dermal layer of the skin. 

Using precise and controlled targeting, this high-frequency energy heats the mid-dermal tissue to an optimal therapeutic temperature, triggering a natural wound healing response.  

This kickstarts the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, helping to lift, smooth, firm, and rejuvenate the skin in a safe, non-invasive way. 

Sofcool™ Cooling

Sofwave also features Sofcool™, an integrated cooling mechanism built directly into the applicator. While ultrasound energy penetrates below the surface, Sofcool™ actively monitors and cools the uppermost layer of skin for maximum comfort and safety.

Sofwave Skin Rejuvenation Clinical Studies

Sofwave is backed by extensive peer-reviewed clinical studies and multiple FDA clearances for improving the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity, acne scars, cellulite, and more. Multiple clinical trials have shown consistently strong safety ratings, high satisfaction, and visible, natural-looking results within as little as one treatment.  

Below, we highlight some of the most compelling clinical evidence behind Sofwave skin rejuvenation.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Sofwave received FDA clearance for the improvement of facial lines and wrinkles based on a controlled clinical study involving 60 participants.

The study followed a single treatment protocol, meaning the people involved were only treated once.

Clinical Results at 3 Months Post-Treatment:

  • 86% of patients showed a 1+ point reduction in the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Elastosis Score 
  • 78% experienced visible wrinkle reduction 

Skin Lifting

Sofwave was granted FDA clearance for lifting of the eyebrow, submental area (under the chin), and neck, following a clinical study involving 80 subjects.

The study followed a double-treatment protocol, meaning the participants were treated twice. 

Clinical Results at 3 Months Post-Treatment:

  • 84.5% of patients showed improvement in submental and neck laxity 
  • 80% experienced a noticeable eyebrow lift 

Acne Scars

Sofwave also received FDA clearance for the treatment of acne scars, based on a clinical trial involving 67 subjects.

In this triple-treatment clinical trial, scar improvement was measured using the Acne Scar Severity Grading (ASSG) scale.

Clinical Results at 3 Months Post-Treatment:

  • 97% of patients had visible improvement in acne scars 
  • 88% self-reported a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their acne scars 

Cellulite

Sofwave is also FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of cellulite in the short term, based on a controlled study that included 68 participants who received two treatments.

Cellulite reduction was assessed using the Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) and the LAxity Scale (LS).

 Clinical Results at 3 Months Post-Treatment:

  • 89% of patients showed improvement in both cellulite and laxity 
  • 57% demonstrated a reduction in cellulite severity using the CSS scale 

Upper Arms

Sofwave also received FDA clearance to improve the appearance of skin laxity on the upper arms. In a controlled study with 46 participants receiving two treatments each, outcomes were assessed via the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS).

Clinical Results at 3 Months Post-Treatment:

  • 93% of treated arms showed visible improvement in skin laxity 
  • 93% were rated as improved in overall appearance by GAIS

Sofwave Skin Rejuvenation at Artemedica

At Artemedica, we’re proud to offer Sofwave skin rejuvenation treatments to men and women at both our Santa Rosa and Healdsburg offices. While the technology behind Sofwave is advanced, it’s the expertise, personalization, and care we bring to each session that truly sets your experience apart.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your appearance, reduce fine lines, or improve skin laxity without surgery or downtime, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Complimentary Consultation

During your free consultation, your skincare specialist will talk to you about your personal goals, medical history, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan just for you. 

We will provide a clear explanation of how Sofwave works, what areas it can treat (face, neck, jawline, under the chin, and more), and what kind of results you can expect. We’ll also go over any pre-treatment instructions and post-treatment care, if necessary.

On the Day of Treatment

Depending on the area treated, your Sofwave appointment will last between 30 to 60 minutes. The treatment is completely non-invasive, but if you like, we can apply a topical numbing cream or add pro-nox to ensure maximum comfort.

During treatment, your specialist uses a handheld device to deliver targeted ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of your skin. This will stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

To enhance your comfort even further, Sofcool™ technology provides continuous cooling to the surface of the skin, keeping it protected and comfortable throughout the session.  

Aftercare and Recovery

After your Sofwave treatment, you can immediately return to your normal daily routine, with no downtime required. Whether that means going back to work, heading to the gym for a workout, or applying makeup to meet friends for dinner!

We’ll provide simple aftercare tips to help you feel confident and comfortable post-treatment. You can expect to see continued improvements in your skin over the next 2–3 months as your body builds collagen.  

Long-Lasting Results

The best part? During clinical trials, patients reported immediate improvement within a week of treatment, and long-lasting results up to one year following a single treatment.

Roderic Wallace Trusts Dr. Victor Lacombe

“Probably one of Dr. Lacombe’s greatest assets is his intuitive understanding of what it takes to create a very natural yet aesthetically pleasing result. In my case, a brow lift opened up my eyes, a subtle lift to the tip of my drooping nose dealt with the negative effects of gravity, a small chin implant balanced a newly sculpted neck and stronger jaw line… yes, a number of procedures done at one time, but oh so worth it in the long run. I can enthusiastically endorse Victor as one of the finest plastic surgeons around.*”
