Read on to learn how Sofwave works, what to expect during treatment, and the incredible benefits it delivers.

What Is Sofwave Skin Rejuvenation?

As we age, it’s completely normal to start noticing skin laxity (sagging), dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, or an overall loss of elasticity. While many find success taking the injectable or surgical route to address signs of aging, these aren’t the only ways to achieve noticeable results. Enter: Sofwave!

Sofwave is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses cutting-edge ultrasound technology to help your body naturally produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid (HA).

The result? A noticeable improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, along with enhanced skin lift and firmness.

Sofwave treatment areas include:

  • Face
  • Brows
  • Under the Chin (Submental)
  • Neck
  • Acne Scars
  • Upper Arms
  • Thighs / Buttocks

But how does this groundbreaking treatment work, exactly? Let’s take a closer look. 

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave uses proprietary ultrasound technology to address the underlying causes of visible skin aging. It delivers therapeutic heat to the mid-dermal layer of the skin, kick-starting the body’s natural wound-healing response. This stimulates production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid deep within the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts. 

Here’s a closer look at how Sofwave skin rejuvenation works:

  • Sofwave uses patented Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology (SUPERB™). This delivers heat precisely to the mid-dermis, where collagen, elastin, and HA are produced.
  • While this heat is delivered, the Sofcool™ technology helps keep your uppermost layer of skin cool and comfortable.
  • Collagen and elastin are fibrous proteins. SUPERB™ heat causes these fibers to denature (break down structurally), triggering the body’s natural wound healing response.
  • This response encourages the body to produce new collagen, elastin, and HA— leading to tighter, firmer, and smoother skin.

Now that we’ve explored how Sofwave works, let’s take a closer look at why so many people are adding it to their routine! 

Below are just a few of the amazing benefits Sofwave can provide:

Supports Collagen Banking

You may have heard the term collagen banking buzzing around in the skincare world lately—and there’s a good reason for it.

Collagen banking is all about building up a reserve of collagen to proactively slow or lessen visible signs of aging later on. This essential protein keeps the skin firm and smooth, but our bodies produce less of it over time. It’s a completely natural part of the aging process that happens to everyone.

In fact, we generally start losing 1% of our collagen every year as early as our 20s.1 While this may not seem like much at a glance, it can add up over time and make a noticeable difference—like wrinkles, skin laxity, dullness, and more.

Sofwave is a great tool to combat this because it stimulates your body’s natural collagen response, helping you preserve skin elasticity and firmness before aging sets in. Think of it as an investment to maintain youthful-looking skin for the long haul.

Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles

This treatment isn’t just preventative though—it’s also corrective. Sofwave is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a powerful option for anyone looking to reverse signs of aging.

Using precise and controlled ultrasound energy, Sofwave targets the mid-dermal layer of skin, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, this visibly fills fine lines, softens wrinkles, and restores a smoother, more lifted skin appearance.

Gives Your Skin a Natural Lift

Sofwave is FDA-cleared to lift the eyebrow, neck, and submental (under the chin) areas—three of the most common spots where skin begins showing signs of aging.

By delivering focused ultrasound energy to the mid-dermal layer, Sofwave stimulates collagen remodeling right where it’s needed most. This process rebuilds structural support from within, leading to visibly firmer, tighter skin, and a more sculpted facial contour over time.

This makes Sofwave an excellent choice for anyone seeking a non-invasive way to firm and refresh their appearance.

FDA-Cleared and Clinically Tested

Sofwave is FDA-cleared for a wide range of purposes, making it one of the most versatile and trusted non-invasive technologies available today.

Sofwave is officially FDA-cleared to:

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

These clearances are backed by multiple clinical studies that have confirmed its safety and effectiveness. If you’re looking for a science-backed solution that delivers natural-looking results, Sofwave is a proven and effective option.

No Downtime

One of the biggest advantages of this treatment is how easy it is to fit into your schedule. Sofwave delivers effortless skin rejuvenation, with no needles, no surgery, and no downtime. You can walk into your appointment and return to your daily routine immediately afterwards.

After your Sofwave treatment, you can exercise, apply makeup, or go on with your daily routine with no recovery time or post-treatment restrictions at all. It’s a true “lunch break treatment” for busy people who want real results without interrupting their schedule.

For those who want added ease during the session, we can apply a pre-treatment numbing cream, or you can add pro-nox to ensure maximum comfort.

Safe for All Skin Types

This skin rejuvenation treatment is designed with your safety and comfort in mind. Sofwave is FDA-cleared and proven safe for all skin tones and types, even sensitive skin and deeper complexions.  

Because it uses ultrasound technology, it doesn’t carry the risks of hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone that can occur with other procedures. Its gentle properties also make Sofwave a great year-round skin rejuvenation treatment option. 

Quick and Effective Treatment 

Sofwave sessions only take 30 to 60 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Even better, most people notice visible improvement after just one treatment

The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your skin’s condition and goals:

  • Ages 30–50: 1 treatment is typically sufficient for collagen support and early signs of aging
  • Ages 50+ with more advanced laxity: 2 treatments may be recommended for optimal lifting and firming
  • Acne scarring: 3 treatments is typically needed to improve skin texture and depth of scarring

Whether you’re focused on prevention, correction, or targeted skin concerns, Sofwave offers a quick, effective way to achieve noticeable, natural-looking results.

Fast and Long-Lasting Results 

With Sofwave, results are noticeable fast, look natural, and last a long time. Most people see immediate improvements within a week following treatment—but it doesn’t stop there.  

After your procedure, you can expect your skin to gradually improve over the next 2-3 months as cell turnover naturally replaces old skin with new, collagen-rich growth. Plus, these results last up to 12 months, or even longer depending on your unique lifestyle and skin condition.
