a glance
Time required for treatment
The total treatment time is usually 45 minutes to 1 hour, with additional time for numbing cream application.
Time until results seen
Some patients will see an instant result after the treatment and usually after 1 month you can start to really see the difference. As the collagen regenerates, results will continue to improve over a period of 12 weeks, with the skin becoming smoother, tighter and lifted.
Treatment longevity
The results will last for about 12 months, at which point it is recommended for patients to come back for a maintenance treatment.
Number of treatments required
Sofwave produces dramatic results in just a single treatment session. Depending on your concerns and treatment goals, your practitioner may recommend a 2nd treatment and/or annual maintenance treatments.

About this treatment
It can even address hooded eyes, giving up to a 5mm eye lift in just one treatment session.
Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology, which delivers controlled energy at a depth of 1.5 millimetres. It doesn’t use focused ultrasound which heats the skin in tiny hotspots. Instead, its parallel beam technology heats the tissue to the optimal temperature for protein denaturation within the deeper layers of the skin.
In addition to the face, Sofwave can also be used to target loose skin on the neck and decolletage. It is a highly effective treatment than delivers visible results in a single treatment, leaving the skin smoother, tighter, and lifted. While it’s not a substitute for a surgical facelift, Sofwave appeals to those who want to achieve a lifting effect without surgery – or those who want to address any other damage to the surface of the skin.
Sofwave works more superficially within the skin, and it’s FDA-cleared for lifting and tightening of the eyebrow, neck and submentum. This means that it’s proven to be safe and effective in the same way as Ultherapy. The Sofwave device uses newer technology and it delivers higher energy purely within the skin. The lift is incredible and doesn’t pose a risk of deeper, structural changes that can happen with other devices. As a result, Sofwave can be used from the top of the forehead right down to the bottom of the neck, including over areas where there are nerves and glands without any risk of causing damage.
Sofwave is suitable for anyone who’s noticing signs of ageing such as sagging and drooping skin, jowls and pronounced wrinkles. It can also be used to lift the eyebrows and rejuvenate hooded eyes.
There is no downtime with Sofwave – absolutely no flushing, bruising, or swelling, so you can continue your day as usual after leaving the clinic.
Optimal results take time to develop. Post-treatment, the fresh collagen stimulated deep within the skin takes approximately three months to kick in and show on the surface. But when it does, you can expect a tighter, more youthful-looking visage, lifted eyes, a refined jawline, and the mid-face will appear elegantly elevated.
