Sofwave™

Ready for a lifted, tighter look without surgery or downtime. Sofwave™ uses next-generation ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin for natural rejuvenation of the face and neck. Our Sacramento-area med spa serves El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA, with personalized treatment plans that fit your goals and schedule.

Lift, Tone, and Rejuvenate with Sofwave™

Sofwave™ is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that delivers energy to the mid-dermis to trigger your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The technology is FDA-cleared to improve fine lines and wrinkles and to lift the eyebrows, submental area under the chin, and the neck. Treatments are quick, require little to no downtime, and are safe for all skin types. Built-in cooling keeps the surface comfortable while energy works at an effective depth for visible firming and lift.

Sofwave™ Treatment Before & After

Real Patients – Real Results.

How Does Sofwave™ Work?

Sofwave™ uses innovative Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to safely and precisely target the mid-dermis, where collagen and elastin are produced. By delivering ultrasound energy at this optimal depth, Sofwave™ stimulates your body’s natural renewal process without harming the skin’s surface.

This advanced approach encourages the production of collagen, elastin, and even hyaluronic acid, which work together to lift, smooth, and firm the skin. The result is natural-looking rejuvenation with little to no downtime.

What’s The Difference Between Sofwave™ and other ultrasound based treatments?

Both Sofwave™ and Ultherapy® are FDA-cleared treatments that use ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin, but they work a little differently.

Ultherapy® delivers energy deeper into the skin, even reaching the muscle layer in some areas, to create a lifting effect.

Sofwave™ focuses on the middle layer of the skin with advanced parallel beam technology, which makes the treatment quicker, more comfortable, and highly effective for softening fine lines, smoothing wrinkles, and tightening loose skin.

Compliment Your Sofwave™ Treatment

While Sofwave™ is highly effective for lifting and tightening the skin, many clients choose to combine it with other treatments for even greater results. Options like dermal fillers restore lost volume, BOTOX® and Dysport® smooth dynamic wrinkles, and laser skin rejuvenation improves tone and texture. Together, these treatments enhance Sofwave™ results by addressing multiple layers of aging and helping you achieve a refreshed, natural look.

Sofwave™ Treatments for Men

Many men in the Sacramento area want to look refreshed without appearing “overdone.” Sofwave™ is an excellent option because it naturally tightens and revitalizes the skin while maintaining a strong, masculine look.

Our experienced providers customize each treatment to focus on common male concerns such as a less defined jawline, early neck laxity, and fine lines. The result is a sharper, more confident appearance that still looks like you, only better.

Featured reviews

Are Sofwave™ Treatments Safe?

Yes. Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, and for lifting the eyebrow, submental tissue, and neck. The procedure is performed by trained professionals to ensure safety and precision. With thousands of successful treatments worldwide, Sofwave™ has a strong safety record and is considered low risk with proper patient selection.

What Are Possible Side Effects?

Possible side effects, while rare, are generally mild and temporary. These may include:

  • Mild redness or swelling at treatment sites (resolves within hours)
  • Temporary tenderness or warmth in the treated area (resolves within 1–2 days)
  • Minor bruising in sensitive areas (resolves within several days)
  • Very rare risk of superficial skin irritation (resolves quickly with aftercare)

Sofwave™ FAQs

Most patients experience a visible improvement after just one Sofwave™ treatment, especially for mild to moderate skin laxity. However, depending on your age, skin condition, and goals, your provider may recommend a series of two sessions to maximize collagen stimulation. Treatments are typically spaced several months apart, and we’ll create a personalized plan during your consultation at our Sacramento-area med spa. This approach ensures long-lasting results tailored to your unique skin needs.

You may notice subtle skin tightening within a few weeks of your Sofwave™ procedure as new collagen begins to form. Results continue to improve gradually, with most patients seeing their best outcome between three and six months. This timeline reflects the natural process of collagen and elastin rebuilding beneath the skin’s surface. Because results develop progressively, your appearance remains refreshed and natural without a “sudden change” look.

Sofwave™ treatments are generally well tolerated, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild warming or tingling beneath the skin. A topical numbing cream and integrated cooling device are used to enhance comfort during the procedure. Unlike Ultherapy®, which penetrates deeper and is sometimes considered more uncomfortable, Sofwave™ is designed for a gentler, more predictable experience. Our team carefully monitors your comfort throughout the entire session.

Results from Sofwave™ can last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and lifestyle factors. As collagen production is stimulated, skin remains firmer and smoother over time. Many patients choose to schedule maintenance sessions annually to extend their results and keep their skin looking lifted and refreshed. Consistency helps preserve your investment in non-invasive rejuvenation.

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of Sofwave™ is that there is virtually no downtime. You can immediately return to your daily routine, including wearing makeup, exercising, or going out to dinner the same day. Any minor redness or swelling typically resolves within hours, making it an easy “lunchtime” treatment for busy professionals. Sofwave™ fits seamlessly into active lifestyles without disruption.

Absolutely. Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe for all skin types and tones, including patients with darker skin who are more vulnerable to burns with certain other devices. Its ultrasound technology bypasses the surface layer, targeting the mid-dermis directly while preserving the outer skin. This makes it an inclusive, year-round treatment option for a diverse range of patients seeking skin tightening without risk.

Preparation for Sofwave™ is simple. We recommend arriving with clean skin, free from heavy lotions, makeup, or self-tanner. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and tanning beds in the days before your appointment helps protect your skin and optimize treatment results. During your consultation, our providers will also review your skincare routine and ensure you’re ready for the safest, most effective outcome.
