How Sofwave works

Sofwave uses advanced Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™) to precisely deliver ultrasound energy into the mid-dermal layer of the skin, where collagen formation occurs. This focused thermal stimulation triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin — the key structural proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

Unlike older ultrasound systems, Sofwave treats only the mid-dermis, avoiding deeper layers where discomfort and risks can increase. This makes it ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity and for clients seeking subtle yet effective lifting and tightening.

To ensure comfort throughout the procedure, Sofwave is equipped with an integrated CoolDown™ system, which actively protects the skin’s surface by keeping it cool during treatment. This combination of precision heating and surface cooling allows for effective collagen stimulation with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Results

Many patients notice a visible difference immediately after treatment, especially around the eyes, with skin appearing lifted and smoother. Over the next 12 weeks, as new collagen forms, skin texture, firmness, and elasticity continue to improve.

Typically patients require only one treatment, with results lasting for up to 2 years. Results may vary, with some patients a top-up treatment after 6 months may be required to maximise results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sofwave is an FDA-approved ultrasound treatment that stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles without surgery or injections.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort—usually a warm, tingly sensation during treatment. Numbing cream is applied 45 mins-1 hour before treatment to make the treatment more comfortable.

Depending on the area and the specific patient, typically just 1 session is required, but an additional second or top-up session may be recommended based on your skin’s condition and goals.

Sofwave™ is the leader in non-invasive energy-based solutions and a favourite treatment at the clinic. Its proprietary technology is proven to trigger neocollagenesis, which increases collagen and stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid production. This triple action counteracts the signs of ageing, delivering noticeable natural results after just one treatment.

Yes – Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to heat the dermis, the middle layer of skin where collagen and elastin fibers are produced. The healing process that follows the thermal effect stimulates the growth of elastin and collagen fibers. This, in turn, lifts the skin and improves wrinkles and skin laxity, which leads to an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

You might notice some initial improvement immediately after your treatment. Still, the magic happens gradually over the next 12 weeks as your skin naturally regenerates and produces new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Clinical studies have shown that Sofwave results can last up to a year or more after just one treatment!

Of course, everyone’s skin is different, and factors like your age, genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits can all affect how long your results last.
