What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses synchronous ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It’s FDA-cleared to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, making it a great option for those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery or downtime.

Sofwave specifically targets the mid-dermis, where collagen remodeling occurs, delivering precise ultrasound energy that jumpstarts your skin’s natural regenerative process—all while keeping the surface of your skin intact and protected.

What Sofwave Can Treat

Sofwave is designed to target common signs of aging with precision and minimal downtime. It effectively treats:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Mild to moderate skin laxity

  • Sagging skin on the eyebrows, jawline, neck, and under the chin

  • Overall facial lifting and tightening
