Sofwave™ Skin Tightening
At PHI Medical Aesthetics, we offer advanced solutions to support your skin's health. The Sofwave™ treatment uses ultrasound technology to provide a natural-looking lift and improve overall skin firmness.
What is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ uses SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology. This Health Canada-cleared ultrasound delivers targeted energy into the mid-dermis to safely stimulate collagen and elastin production without requiring downtime.
By supporting your body's natural healing process, the newly produced collagen and elastin help tighten and smooth your skin over time, offering a non-surgical approach to skin lifting.
What can Sofwave™ address?
Sofwave™ is clinically validated to target a variety of common aesthetic concerns. By heating the dermal tissue, it effectively treats the following areas:
| Aesthetic Concern | Target Area |
|---|---|
| Mild to moderate skin laxity | Face, Neck, & Body |
| Fine lines and wrinkles | Full Face |
| Loss of firmness | Jawline |
| Early signs of aging | Neck |
| Localized tissue laxity | Submental Area (Under the chin) |
Who is a good candidate?
Sofwave™ is a suitable option for patients in their 30s and older who are noticing mild to moderate skin laxity and prefer a non-surgical solution. Because it uses ultrasound technology rather than light or lasers, the treatment is safe for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin.
During your assessment, your clinician will review your medical history to ensure this treatment aligns with your overall health and aesthetic goals.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sofwave™ work?
Yes, Sofwave™ is a clinically proven technology. By heating the mid-dermis, it stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, tighter, and smoother skin over time.
Can Sofwave™ cause fat loss or melt fat?
No, Sofwave™ does not cause fat loss in the face. The SUPERB™ ultrasound technology is designed to safely target the mid-dermis layer of the skin to build collagen and elastin, completely bypassing the deeper fat layers.
Does Sofwave™ hurt?
A cooling pulse is delivered immediately before and after each ultrasound pulse to protect the epidermis and enhance your comfort.
When will I notice treatment results?
Following Sofwave™ treatment, your collagen and elastin production will increase over the next 12 weeks. Full results are typically visible 3 months after treatment.
How long does Sofwave™ last?
Because the treatment triggers your body's own collagen rebuilding process, results are long-lasting. Patients typically see lifting and firming benefits for up to a year or more after just one treatment session.
Is there any downtime?
A primary advantage of Sofwave™ is the minimal recovery time. Some patients may notice mild redness or swelling after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours or days.
There is no required downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine immediately after your appointment.
How much does Sofwave™ cost?
The cost varies depending on the specific area being treated (such as the full face, jawline, neck, or a combination). We provide a precise quote tailored to your aesthetic goals during your personalized consultation.
Where can I see Sofwave™ before and after photos?
We invite you to book an assessment to see real patient results. During your complimentary consultation, our clinicians will share relevant Sofwave™ before and after photos that match your specific skin concerns.
Can Sofwave™ be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Sofwave™ can be safely combined with other clinical aesthetic treatments. Using Sofwave™ alongside collagen stimulation treatments (like Radiesse or Sculptra) can comprehensively support collagen production.
Do you offer financing for Sofwave™?
Yes, we partner with Beautifi to offer flexible payment options. This includes 0% interest financing for 12 months on treatment plans of $2,000 or more. Ask our team how to get pre-approved during your consultation.
