Looking for a non-surgical way to tighten your skin? Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that can firm and smooth skin on our face and neck. Many people get results after just one treatment, making it one of the most efficient ways to achieve subtle, natural anti-aging effects.
What Is Sofwave Therapy?
Sofwave is an ultrasound treatment that targets the mid-dermis layers, bypassing the outer layers of the skin. The treatment heats the underlying tissue, which triggers a healing response and stimulates new collagen production. This improves skin volume, reduces laxity, and makes skin look firmer and tighter.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared for face and neck treatments. It can be used to:1
- Lift the eyebrows
- Treat acne scars
- Firm and lift the neck and area under the chin
- Improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face
Treatment usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated. To reduce discomfort, you may ask for numbing cream before treatment. The device’s cooling function also increases comfort during treatment.
Once your skin is cleansed and prepared, your technician will pass the Sofwave handpiece across the area being treated, transmitting the ultrasound energy to the targeted areas. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities right away. You may experience mild redness afterward. A cool compress or over-the-counter pain medicine can help with any soreness.
Does Sofwave Work?
Clinical studies of Sofwave effectiveness have shown excellent results. In the initial study from Sofwave, providers reported that 88% of patients had a significant improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Another study found that 80% of patients reported lifting effects in the eyebrows, neck, and chin after 12 weeks.2
Is Sofwave Worth It?
Sofwave is a great option for people with mild skin laxity who want a tightening effect on the face, jaw, and neck. The results from Sofwave aren’t as dramatic as a surgical face lift, but it can deliver subtle, natural lifting.3
It’s not an instant fix. You may want more than one treatment to get maximum results. The results can be visible within a few weeks of treatment. The collagen-stimulating effects continue for several months, and peak results are noticeable about six to eight months after treatment.
Each treatment costs between $2,500 and $3,000, depending on factors like location and provider experience.
