About Sofwave

Sofwave Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERBTM, FDA-cleared to improve facial lines and wrinkles of the face and neck.

Starting in our mid-20’s, collagen and elastin starts to break down causing our skin to wrinkle. Sofwave is a new, clinically-proven, non-invasive approach to rebuilding collagen, thereby improving facial lines and wrinkles.

Using proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™, energy precisely passes through the skin’s surface (the epidermis), heating the mid-dermal tissue at just the right depth and temperature to rejuvenate collagen fibers and improve the overall appearance of aging skin.

  • Clinically proven technology
  • Non-invasive, no downtime
  • Treats all skin types
  • High patient satisfaction
  • Safe and effective, no side effects
  • Fast, 30 – 40 min Treatment

The Choice for Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Smart Science. Simple Solutions.

Sofwave is an FDA cleared, non-invasive and no downtime treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery, stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin which leads to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles. Aggressive options (such as lasers) can cause significant damage to the skin surface, leading to a long healing period, considerable downtime and may have a high risk of side effects. Even RF micro needling treatments, that have recently become popular, can be uncomfortable, risky and require downtime.

Gentler, non-invasive solutions (such as IPL and noninvasive RF) have shown limited efficacy, and in most cases, require multiple treatments.

Sofwave’s unique technology enables the controlled delivery of energy, in terms of amount and location, while protecting the skin surface with an integrated cooling mechanism. There is no downtime with this treatment.

The treatment itself is fast. It can take as little as 30-40 minutes for the full face and neck region.

Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition and the physician’s recommendation.

Immediate results can be seen as soon as 1 week following the treatment. However, the collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment

Sofwave is a non-invasive, no downtime treatment. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe. Immediately post treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours post treatment.

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, patients may feel warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the treatment. Following treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special care on the skin. Patient may resume their daily care immediately post treatment.

Today there are various energy-based technologies designed to treat facial lines and wrinkles, among them: ablative and non-ablative laser technology, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), radiofrequency devices and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Yet, the need for non-invasive aesthetic treatments with proven efficacy, safety and minimal downtime, are still unfulfilled. The more aggressive options can cause damage to the upper skin, which in turn, requires a long healing period and considerable downtime. In addition, there is a higher risk of side effects, including discoloration and discomfort. Even RF micro needling treatments, that have recently become popular, can be uncomfortable, risky and require lengthy downtime. On the other hand, other non-invasive solutions haven’t shown adequate results High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has also become an accepted mode of treatment for treating wrinkles. This treatment has been associated with multiple drawbacks, among them, limited treatment areas, longer treatment times, excessive pain and additional adverse effects, such as burns and injury to nerves. Sofwave’s unique Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ protects the skin surface with a cooling mechanism and the treatment is effective, safe and comfortable for most patients. There is no downtime or pain post treatment.

– Treatment depth center of 1.5mm Independent of energy level, targeting the effect in the mid-dermis and ensuring no damage to the underlying structures: bones, facial nerves, facial fat and blood vessels

– Uniform effect in the tissue

– Parallel delivery of ultrasound beams and large contact area allow for low sensitivity to tissue inhomogeneity, ensuring repeatable and controllable energy deposition in the skin.

– Solid state energizer module

– Seven robust and stable ultrasound transducers with no moving parts and no optics.

– Direct contact ultrasound technology

– Enabling integrated cooling and a real-time skin temperature monitoring mechanism for epidermal protection and accurate targeting of the thermal effect.

– Treatment of all skin types

– Ultrasound absorption is determined by the microscopic and bulk mechanical properties of tissue and is independent of skin color or pigmentation
