Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that stimulates your own collagen to firm mildly lax skin on the brow, under the chin and along the neck, with no incisions and generally no downtime.
The change appears gradually over weeks to months rather than on the day, and it suits mild to moderate laxity only, so we start with an honest assessment of whether it will help you at all.
Ultrasound energy delivered into the middle layer of the skin.
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy. The device directs that energy into the mid-dermis, the middle layer of the skin where collagen and elastin sit, while a cooling mechanism protects the surface. Nothing is cut, nothing is injected, and the skin barrier stays intact throughout.
Warming the mid-dermis in a controlled way prompts the body to respond as it would to any repair signal. Over the following weeks and months the skin gradually lays down fresh collagen, and it is that new collagen, not the treatment itself, that firms the area. Sofwave does not remove skin and it does not reposition tissue. It asks your own biology to do the work, which is exactly why the change is progressive rather than immediate.
If prompting your own collagen sounds familiar, it is the same broad principle behind Sculptra collagen stimulation, although Sculptra is injected and Sofwave is delivered through the surface of the skin. Which route suits you depends on your skin and your concern, and that is a consultation conversation.
An honest assessment before you commit to anything.
The most useful thing we can do at a Sofwave consultation is tell you plainly whether your skin is likely to respond. This treatment works on mild to moderate laxity. If your skin has loosened well beyond that, we will say so rather than book you in for something that cannot meet the expectation you arrived with.

Mild to moderate laxity, and a clear line about the rest.
Sofwave is generally considered where skin has softened and lost a little firmness but has not significantly descended. People most often ask us about it for:
Now the limits, because they matter more than the list above. Sofwave is not a facelift and does not do what a facelift does. It cannot remove excess skin, it cannot reposition tissue that has already dropped, and it will not correct significant sagging. If clear heaviness in the lower face or a visibly loose neck is your main concern, no non-invasive treatment is likely to satisfy you, and a surgical opinion is the more honest suggestion.
Where laxity at the neck and jawline is driven partly by muscle rather than by skin quality, a Nefertiti neck lift addresses a different mechanism entirely and may be discussed alongside Sofwave or instead of it. Sofwave is also generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, where there is active infection or inflammation in the treatment area, or alongside certain medical conditions and medications. Suitability is confirmed at consultation, never assumed.
A consultation-first process, with no incisions at any point.
Most people describe the sensation as warmth with brief prickly moments as the energy is delivered, and your provider will talk through comfort measures beforehand. Because the treatment is non-invasive, there is generally no downtime. Review our aftercare guidance before and after your visit.
