What is Sofwave?
Non-invasive Facelift Based On The Next-Generation Of Ultrasound Technology.
Sofwave is a NEW treatment in Aesthetic Medicine launched in 2021 and making waves worldwide.
It is a skin tightening and collagen simulating treatment that incorporate many advantages and improvements over previous devices that have come and gone.
It is a true “lunchtime facelift”, in that you could expect no recovery time at all after the treatment and get on with your day. Each treatment takes about 30-40 minutes.

Sofwave™ at a glance
You might have heard of popular anti-aging treatments like Ultherapy, HIFU and Lasers. How does Sofwave and its advanced technology compare?
✔︎ Improved Ultrasound Delivery | ✔︎ Causes Almost No Discomfort | ✔︎ No Downtime |
✔︎No Risk of Skin Discoloration | ✔︎ Much Faster Treatment Time | ✔︎ Clients See Faster results* |
*Patient results are individualized. It usually takes 3-6 months for collagen to fully form, but some Sofwave patients start seeing results as quickly as 7-10 days
How Does Sofwave Work?
Pulses of high frequency focused ultrasound are delivered onto the skin over the intended treatment area.
The ultrasound waves then triggers a response to produce more collagen and elastin in the skin. More collagen translates to better skin quality, less wrinkles and skin that is more taut.
The treatments are comfortable enough to be performed without any topical anesthesia. Sedation will definitely not be required.
Over the few weeks after just one treatment, improvements to skin quality and tightness will become progressively more visible as new collagen is formed. Studies have shown improvements to continue up to 12 weeks.
The Sofwave treatment can be repeated yearly. Or more frequently, if desired.
Why Sofwave?

Clinically proven technology
A multi-center clinical study evaluated the clinical effects of Sofwave’s technology on facial wrinkles, most patients were marked as improved or significantly improved 12 weeks after a single treatment

Safe and effective
Proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology with integrated cooling Sofcool™, while ensuring no damage to the epidermis or to the underlying structures beneath the dermis

Non-invasive
Ultrasound energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface, heating the mid-dermal tissue at just the right depth and temperature to rejuvenate collagen fibers. Patients can get right back to normal life quickly following treatment

Fast, 30 – 40 min Treatment
This quick full face treatment, easy to perform and, patients love the fact that this procedure can fit into an active lifestyle at any time of the day

Treats all skin types
Darker skin types are more susceptible to burns with the different light-based therapies. With Ultrasound, the treatment is safe and effective regardless of the patient’s skin type
How is Sofwave Better?

Over the last twenty or so years, doctors have tried many methods to tighten sagging skin and remove wrinkles and lines on the faces of their patients. Sofwave has taken the best of each generation of these devices and made it safer and more comfortable for the patients.
Non-ablative, non-invasive, no-downtime.
Compared to earlier ablative methods to smooth out lines and wrinkles, Sofwave is definitely a step up because of the absence of any recovery time after the treatments. It also does not have any risk for PIH or scarring that may be associated with ablative lasers.
Less operator and patient dependent
Compared with RF devices that work on the principle of tissue coagulation to induce the healing response, focused ultrasound technologies have the advantage that they are less dependent on the conductivity of the skin. Conductivity can vary a lot with hydration status and fat content. And different parts of the body will also differ in conductivity. In the older RF devices, the amount of RF energy delivered is also operator dependent.
Improved ultrasound energy delivery
The SUPERB technology delivers a uniform layer of focused ultrasound energy at an accurate depth of 1.5mm to stimulate neocollagensis where it matters. Hardly any of the energy reaches the skin where the nerves that sense pain are located. Hence is it also much more comfortable than older HIFU devices. Clinical studies have shown that 87% of patients experienced a satisfactory improvement in terms of skin quality and tightness.

The Evolution of Skin Tightening Treatments Over The Years
Our skin has an incredible ability to heal and repair. From as far back as in the 1990s, doctors have been trying to harness this ability to repair to improve skin quality.

Ablative Lasers like CO2 and fractional CO2

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Micro-focused Ultrasound Skin Tightening (HIFU)

Sofwave: New and Updated HIFU
Can it be mixed with Other Procedures?
Sofwave can be safely performed on patients who have received botulinum toxin and filler injections. Or even in the same session as these products are placed in a different plane of the skin or deeper structures of the face. Additionally, because Sofwave does not impact the pigment (chromophores) in the skin, it can be performed in a same session with may lasers.
