What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to refresh and lift your skin without surgery, needles, or downtime. Powered by Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology, this FDA-cleared innovation targets the mid-dermis, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while gently tightening sagging skin.
With time, your skin will naturally lose its youthful firmness and elasticity. Sofwave defies gravity and collagen loss, delivering energy precisely where you need it to encourage natural rejuvenation from within. Whether you’ve noticed early signs of aging or want a fresh, glowing look without the commitment of a surgical procedure, this comfortable, quick treatment fits beautifully into any lifestyle.
Benefits of Sofwave skin rejuvenation include:
- Firmer, tighter skin
- Youthful glow
- Minimal downtime
- Comfortable experience
- Safe for all skin types
- Targeted precision
- Natural-looking results
Why Choose Sofwave Over Other Non-Surgical Treatments?
Sofwave is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for non-invasive skin tightening thanks to its cutting-edge SUPERB ultrasound, which targets collagen regeneration at precisely 1.5 mm into the dermis without harming the skin’s surface.
Sofwave’s built-in SofCool system provides a more comfortable, zero-downtime experience compared to competing solutions like Ultherapy or radiofrequency-based devices. This straightforward procedure only requires about 30 to 45 minutes and is safe for all skin types. Clinical studies show impressive results in lifting and firming areas like the brows, jawline, neck, and submental area, especially for patients seeing the first signs of aging.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sofwave Treatments?
Sofwave is an excellent choice for patients looking for a non-invasive way to address mild to moderate fine lines and skin laxity. Since the procedure is beneficial for preventive care in younger patients and rejuvenation in older ones, candidates usually range in age from their 30s to 50s. It’s particularly valuable for people who notice sagging skin in their neck, jawline, forehead, or under their chin.
Because Sofwave uses advanced ultrasound technology that bypasses the epidermis, it is safe for all skin types and tones – including those that may not qualify for laser or radiofrequency treatments.
Whether you’re looking to maintain youthful skin or restore firmness without surgery or downtime, Sofwave is a gentle option for natural-looking lift and collagen renewal.

How to Prepare for Your Sofwave Treatment
Planning for your Sofwave appointment ensures optimal results. Avoid using retinol, tretinoin, or vitamin C serums for at least one week in advance. Refrain from scheduling Botox, fillers, or other facial treatments for two weeks beforehand, and remove facial hair 24 hours prior if applicable. You can also improve collagen formation and healing by drinking plenty of water and adhering to a consistent skincare regimen in the days before your session.
These easy instructions minimize irritation and maximize Sofwave’s benefits, setting the stage for a smooth, comfortable experience.
What to Expect During and After Your Sofwave Appointment
By design, every Sofwave appointment is quick, comfortable, and hassle-free. After a personalized consultation where Dr. Lyle will assess your skin and goals, you’ll arrive with a clean face free of makeup, moisturizer or sunscreen.
Appointments typically last 30 to 45 minutes and involve using a handheld device to deliver ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen without damaging the surface. Thanks to the integrated SofCool system, most patients report feeling only mild warmth or tingling during the procedure. There’s no need for local or general anesthesia, and you can immediately return to your day with no downtime.
Recovery after a Sofwave treatment is minimal, making it a popular choice for those with busy schedules. Most patients experience mild redness or warmth immediately following the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Results aren’t immediate; collagen production begins shortly after your initial treatment and continues to improve over the following weeks. Noticeable lifting and smoothing usually start to show around the third or fourth week. You’ll see the full effects by the 12-week mark, and the improvement lasts for up to six months.
You can optimize your appearance by staying hydrated, avoiding harsh skincare products, and following specific aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Lyle.
