Conveniently located to serve NYC
A Sofwave™ treatment offers an advanced solution for those seeking non-invasive skin tightening and skin lifting procedures to achieve smoother, firmer skin.
At Madfes Dermatology & Aesthetics Group, we provide Sofwave in New York City, Greenwich, CT, and Hollywood, FL.
Sofwave uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. This process enhances skin elasticity and firmness, lifting and tightening sagging areas. The treatment targets the mid-dermal layer while keeping your skin safe. Each session typically lasts about 30-45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Sofwave penetrates the skin’s surface through focused ultrasound energy to heat the mid-dermal tissue at just the right depth and temperature to rejuvenate collagen fibers. It is a non-surgical procedure that can lift the brows and neck, sharpen the jawline, and improve the overall appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.
Other options include Thermage skin tightening and ThermiTight non-surgical tightening for patients seeking different approaches.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves clearance for lifting the eyebrow and lifting lax submental tissue (beneath the chin) and neck tissue, which can also affect the appearance of lax tissue in the submental neck regions, for subjects aged 22 or older.
In addition, the Sofwave system, featuring the company’s proprietary SUPERB TM technology, is also cleared by the U.S. FDA for a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment to improve facial lines and wrinkles.
Choosing Sofwave treatment at Madfes Dermatology & Aesthetics Group comes with numerous benefits:
Sofwave is best for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and seeking a non-invasive skin tightening solution. Ideal candidates include those who:
Before undergoing a Sofwave treatment, meet with our board-certified dermatologists and consult with us to determine how this procedure can support your goals. During the consultation, we will assess your skin condition and discuss your goals.
A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. The Sofwave device is gently moved across the treatment area, emitting precise ultrasound waves that penetrate the mid-dermal layer. You might feel a warm sensation as the energy stimulates collagen production.
A typical session takes just 30-45 minutes and is designed to be comfortable, with no downtime afterward.
Patients may do Sofwave once a year, and studies have shown significant improvement after just one month, with improvement continuing for three months.
After the treatment, you might experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Over the next few weeks, as new collagen forms, you’ll notice gradual improvements in your skin’s texture and firmness.
The overall cost of Sofwave treatment varies depending on the areas you’d like to address, the number of sessions recommended, and your individual treatment goals. Some patients achieve their desired outcome with a single session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments for optimal results.
Our physicians will provide a clear estimate during your consultation, depending on your needs.
Both use ultrasound technology. The difference is that Sofwave delivers energy at a shallower depth, making it more comfortable while still producing lifting and firming results. Patients may also consider alternative treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling.
Radiofrequency devices, like Thermage, use heat energy for collagen stimulation. On the other hand, Sofwave relies on ultrasound for precise energy delivery with minimal downtime.
