What is Sofwave?
As the years pass, collagen and elastin production naturally decline, leading to loose, saggy skin. Sofwave is an FDA-cleared non-surgical approach to skin tightening that counteracts this process. This innovative treatment rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production, helping you achieve a more youthful and vibrant look without incisions or injections.
How does Sofwave work?
Sofwave employs a unique Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Array technology, delivering heat precisely to the mid-dermis (the skin’s middle layer) at a depth of 1.5 mm. This depth is optimal for wrinkle treatment, ensuring that the outer layer of the skin remains untouched and protected. The sound waves convert to heat, triggering a healing response that replenishes collagen. The integrated cooling mechanism further safeguards the outer skin layer, preventing potential burning during the treatment.
What can Sofwave treat?
Sofwave is highly effective in treating mild laxity in various areas of the body, primarily on the face and neck. It can help improve the appearance of the following skin concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Drooping brows
- Saggy cheeks
- Jowling
- Neck wrinkles
- Crepey skin
The device can also help smooth acne scars and target cellulite on the buttocks and thighs.
Sofwave is safe and suitable for all skin types, including individuals with darker skin tones. This versatility makes Sofwave an excellent choice for patients seeking non-invasive solutions to enhance their skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Sofwave is an ideal solution for men and women with mild skin laxity. The board-certified dermatologists at Spring Street Dermatology typically recommend this treatment for patients over 30. A comprehensive skin evaluation is essential to determine whether you’re a good candidate for Sofwave.
How Long Is a Typical Treatment?
One of the notable advantages of Sofwave is its efficiency. A single treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules who still want to prioritize their skin health.
When Will I See Results?
Patients may start seeing results as early as one week following the Sofwave treatment. While some improvements may be visible sooner, the collagen regeneration process continues over the following 12 weeks, with optimal results becoming more apparent during this period.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
The transformative power of Sofwave lies in its ability to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. This results in a tighter, lifted appearance, especially in areas prone to sagging, such as brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck. The skin becomes toned and firmer, with a youthful bounce and improved elasticity.
What Is Recovery Like?
Unlike some cosmetic treatments that may require downtime, Sofwave sets itself apart with its minimal impact on daily life. The Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Array technology ensures precise treatment without damaging the epidermis or underlying structures. The integrated cooling system prevents discomfort and protects the outer layer of the skin, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. There is no pain following the treatment, and patients can resume their daily facial care regimen without delay.

Dermal Fillers
As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.
