What it is
Sofwave delivers microfocused ultrasound to precise depths beneath the skin — typically 1.5 mm — without disrupting the surface. The heat triggers immediate tissue contraction and a delayed collagen remodeling response over three to six months.
How we approach it
Candidacy is honest. This is non-surgical, and non-surgical has limits. Patients with significant laxity may see modest improvement but not surgical-grade lift; those patients are better served by a frank conversation about realistic non-surgical outcomes versus a surgical consultation.
For early-to-moderate laxity, the right candidate, the right map, and the right energy depth deliver meaningful and lasting lift. Most patients are treated in a single session per area; some opt for touch-up sessions at 12–18 months.
What to expect
The treatment is 45–90 minutes depending on area. It is felt — deep, brief heat pulses; some patients describe sharp sensations at specific points. Topical anesthesia or oral pre-medication is offered.
There is no surface downtime. Slight tenderness or pinkness for 24 hours is normal. Initial lift is visible at one to two months; final result at three to six.
Candidacy
Best for early-to-moderate laxity of the lower face, jawline, brow, or neck. Not for significant laxity requiring surgery, active infection, pregnancy, or specific implant/pacemaker situations without medical clearance.
