Sofwave works by delivering precise ultrasound energy into the mid-layers of the skin where collagen production naturally occurs.
This controlled energy gently heats the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin formation.
Over time this process helps lift and tighten the skin, smooth fine lines, and improve overall texture without damaging the surface of the skin and with no downtime.
Most clients will require just 1 treatment and results last 12-18 months.
With a Sofwave treatment you can expect a quick treatment with minimal downtime though the sensation can be quite intense at times.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered you may feel short bursts of heat often described as spicy or prickly especially in more sensitive areas. We apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Post treatment you can return to normal activities straight away.
Results appear gradually as collagen production increases, with visible improvements in firmness and smoothness from around 6 weeks and continued results developing over 3 months.
Sofwave Face & Neck is best suited for people looking for a non-surgical way to lift and tighten the skin especially if they’re starting to notice early signs of ageing.
It’s ideal for:
Those with mild to moderate skin laxity (slight sagging around the face, jawline, or neck)
Anyone wanting to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture
People looking for a natural, gradual result without injectables or surgery
Clients who want minimal downtime and a treatment that fits into a busy lifestyle
All skin types and tones
It’s also a great option for those who aren’t ready for more invasive procedures, but still want visible lifting and tightening.
However, it’s not a replacement for a surgical facelift and may be less suitable for more advanced skin laxity.
