Sofwave™ Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
A non-invasive ultrasound solution for lifting, tightening & youthful skin
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave™ is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin treatment that uses advanced ultrasound energy to stimulate your skin’s natural regenerative processes. It is designed to improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and facial contour, helping you look smoother, firmer, and more youthful without surgery or needles. Sofwave+1
Unlike lasers or microneedling, Sofwave technology delivers focused ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis — the key layer for collagen and elastin production — while protecting the surface of your skin.
How Does It Work?
Sofwave uses SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology to deliver concentrated ultrasound energy at a consistent depth of about 1.5 mm below the skin surface.
Here’s what happens:
- The ultrasound creates controlled thermal micro-injuries in the mid-dermal layer.
- This triggers neocollagenesis — your skin’s natural healing response, producing new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
- New collagen fibres strengthen and tighten your skin over time, improving firmness, texture and tone.
An integrated cooling system (Sofcool™) safeguards the top layer of skin, keeping the treatment comfortable and safe across all skin types.
What Can Sofwave Treat?
Sofwave is clinically proven to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and mild sagging
- Lifting of eyebrows, neck and submental area (under the chin)
- Improvement in acne scars
- Enhanced texture and tone of loose skin
- Upper arm laxity and other body areas (in select protocols) Midland Skin+1
Benefits of Sofwave Treatment
Non-surgical & Needle-free
No incisions or injections — ideal for those seeking effective results without surgery.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment; makeup, exercise and daily life aren’t restricted.
Quick Sessions
Typical treatments take 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Natural-looking Results
Improvements develop gradually over weeks as collagen rebuilds, often with results continuing up to 3 months or longer.
Safe for All Skin Types
Ultrasound energy isn’t affected by skin pigmentation, making it suitable year-round and across a wide range of skin tones.
Long-lasting Effects
While individual results may vary, many patients enjoy benefits that last for months to a year or more, with maintenance sessions if desired.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before your session:
- A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- The clinician glides the handpiece over the treatment area, delivering pulses of focused ultrasound energy,
During the procedure:
- You may feel a warm, tingling or heat sensation as the energy targets the mid-dermis.
After treatment:
- Immediate return to daily life is normal.
- Temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth may occur but usually resolves quickly.
Safety and Side Effects
Sofwave is considered very safe when performed by trained professionals, with risk kept low through precise energy delivery and cooling protection.
Common, mild effects may include:
- Temporary redness
- Slight swelling
- Warmth or tenderness
These usually settle within hours to a few days.
Not suitable for:
Open wounds, active infections, or inflammation in the treatment area, and certain medical conditions — your clinician will assess suitability before treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after one session, with the option of additional treatments if desired.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream and cooling system help minimise discomfort. Sensations vary by individual.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice initial tightening early, with full effects building over 8–12 weeks as collagen remodels.
Is it better than a surgical facelift?
Sofwave offers a non-surgical alternative with natural rejuvenation and minimal downtime — ideal for mild to moderate concerns, but not a replacement for surgical lifting in advanced laxity cases.
