What Is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is a cutting-edge, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep in the skin. FDA-cleared to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and more recently for improving cellulite, Sofwave™ delivers energy precisely at a 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis while keeping the skin’s surface cool and protected. Unlike older technologies such as lasers or microneedling, which can involve downtime, discomfort, or skin damage, Sofwave™ provides safe, effective results with no disruption to daily life.

Benefits of Sofwave™
Sofwave™ offers noninvasive treatments to soften fine lines and wrinkles, firm laxity, and create a subtle lift of the brow, jawline, and neck. There are no needles or incisions, and it’s safe for all skin tones and seasons, with results maintainable through periodic touch-ups. Sessions are comfortable with topical numbing, require little prep, and pair well with other cosmetic services for comprehensive plans.
The Results
Most patients see initial improvement within a few weeks. However, the most dramatic results develop over 12 weeks as collagen regeneration continues. Clinical studies have shown visible results even after just one Sofwave™ treatment session.
What makes a good Sofwave™ candidate?
Anyone seeking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity without surgery or downtime may benefit from Sofwave™. A consultation with our dermatologists will determine if it’s right for you.
What areas of the body can Sofwave™ treat?
Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, and for the short-term improvement of cellulite in certain body areas. In practice, it can be used to treat almost anywhere on the body, depending on your goals and your provider’s recommendation.

Sofwave™ Frequently Asked Questions
Who Should Not Have Sofwave™ Done?
People with certain medical conditions or active skin infections in the treatment area may not be candidates. Your provider will review your medical history during your consultation.
How Long Do Sofwave™ Results Last?
Expect gradual changes over 6-12 weeks, with long lasting benefits that typically persist about 12 months. Natural aging continues, so quick annual touch-ups help preserve a lifted, smoother look.
What Are the Disadvantages of Sofwave™?
Expect temporary redness or swelling and brief sensitivity; discomfort is usually manageable with topical numbing. Results are gradual and may not match surgical lifting for advanced laxity.
How Much Does Sofwave™ Cost?
Pricing for a Sofwave™ treatment varies by area, goals, and whether a maintenance plan is recommended. Springhouse Dermatology provides transparent estimates at consultation and packages for comprehensive facial or neck lifting.
Is Sofwave™ Better Than Morpheus8?
They work differently as Sofwave uses ultrasound without needles, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency. The best option depends on skin, goals, and downtime; our dermatologists will guide you after assessment.
