Sofwave: Next-Generation Ultrasound Lifting

Sofwave is our newest technology—and one we’ve been thoughtfully waiting to bring in until the results met our standards. It fills an important gap between our RF-based tightening treatments and procedures that require more downtime. Sofwave uses next-generation ultrasound to reach the collagen-rich layers of the skin that RF alone cannot, creating firmer, smoother, more lifted skin over time.

The energy targets the mid-dermis (where collagen actually lives), signaling the body to rebuild support from within. As new collagen forms, the skin begins to look tighter and more defined—without changing your facial volume and without downtime.

Who is Sofwave for?

Sofwave is safe for all skin types and ideal if you’re noticing:

• Early laxity or sagging
• Softer jawline definition
• Heaviness in the brows or midface
• Fine lines becoming more pronounced
• A desire for lift without adding volume
• A need for deeper collagen work than RF can reach

Sofwave complements many of Center’s existing treatments and is an excellent option for patients who want visible tightening but prefer a no-downtime approach.

Areas We Treat

Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrows, submental area, and neck, and for improving fine lines and wrinkles. It is also cleared for improving the appearance of acne scars and cellulite. In practice, it is also commonly used for global collagen improvement in additional areas of the face and body.

FDA-Cleared Areas:

• Brows + Upper Face
• Jawline
• Under-Chin / Submental
• Neck
• Wrinkles of the Face
• Acne Scars
• Cellulite

Commonly Treated (Off-Label) Areas:

• Around the eyes
• Cheeks + Midface
• Décolletage / Chest
• Upper arms
• Above the knees
• Inner thighs / Posterior thighs / Buttock

(We’ll tailor treatment plans based on your goals and skin quality.)

How Sofwave Works

Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB™) to send ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis at a precise depth—stimulating collagen without heating the surface of the skin.

What’s happening beneath the surface:

• Ultrasound creates controlled zones of thermal stimulation
• Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin
• Over 3–4 months, this rebuilds structural support and creates a natural lift

Think of it as reminding your collagen to get back to work—tightening what already exists and building new firmness underneath.

What the Treatment Feels Like

You’ll feel brief bursts of warmth with cooling built into the handpiece. Some areas feel more intense than others, but each pulse is quick. A full-face treatment generally takes about 45 minutes, and you leave looking exactly the same—no swelling, no redness that keeps you indoors.

Is There Downtime?

No downtime. You may feel a little warmth or appear slightly flushed for an hour or two. Makeup, skincare, and workouts can be resumed immediately.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients see a meaningful lift and tightening from a single session. Depending on your goals and skin quality, some choose a second treatment for additional build or yearly maintenance.
If you plan a second session, we space treatments 6–8 weeks apart.

When Will I See Results?

• Subtle tightening can begin within a few weeks
• Collagen regeneration continues over 3–4 months
• Results build gradually, creating a natural-looking lift rather than a sudden change
• Your skin becomes progressively firmer, smoother, and more supported—with improvements that continue to unfold.
