Most patients describe Sofwave® as a series of brief pulses of heat or warmth as ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the skin. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize comfort, and treatment settings can be adjusted based on individual tolerance. While some areas may feel more sensitive than others, most patients tolerate the procedure very well.

For most patients, a single Sofwave® treatment is sufficient to achieve visible improvement. Results continue to develop over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms and existing collagen remodels. Depending on your degree of laxity, aesthetic goals, and long-term maintenance strategy, Dr. Rose may recommend periodic maintenance treatments as part of a personalized treatment plan.

One of Sofwave®'s greatest advantages is its ability to stimulate collagen without disrupting your lifestyle. Most patients experience little to no downtime and enjoy an immediate post-treatment glow. Because the skin's surface remains intact, many patients feel comfortable returning to work, dinner plans, or even an important event the same day.

Yes. Sofwave® can be used on the face, neck, under the chin, and select areas of the body to improve skin firmness and address mild to moderate laxity. Because collagen loss occurs throughout the body—not just the face—many patients choose to treat multiple areas as part of a comprehensive skin tightening and longevity plan.

Many patients see initial improvement in tone and texture within 1 to 2 weeks as the surface refreshes. Deeper collagen remodeling — which addresses fine lines, scars, and overall firmness — continues for 3 to 6 months after your treatment series is complete.

Sofwave® is ideal for patients who want to maintain a naturally youthful appearance without surgery or significant downtime. Whether you're beginning to notice early skin laxity, softening along the jawline, or simply want to preserve collagen before more visible aging develops, Sofwave® offers a proactive approach to aging well. It is equally suited for prevention, maintenance, and early correction.

Sofwave® requires minimal pre-treatment preparation. You may arrive with clean, product-free skin and it is best to avoid excessive sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment. Maintaining healthy, well-hydrated skin helps ensure an optimal treatment experience.
