Intro paragraph:

‍

Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin from within. Its SUPERB™ technology targets the mid-dermis, the layer where collagen and elastin are made, and encourages your skin to produce more of both. The results build gradually and look natural, which is why many people see Sofwave as a non-surgical facelift. It can be used on the face, neck and body.

Sofwave Skin Tightening Birmingham

What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and firm the skin. Its SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology delivers focused energy into the mid-dermis, the layer of skin where collagen and elastin are made. This prompts your skin to produce fresh collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, giving a gradual, natural-looking lift. That's why Sofwave is often called a non-surgical facelift.

  • 30 to 50 minute treatment
  • Suitable for all skin types

What Can Sofwave Treat?

What Can Sofwave Treat?

Brow lift and the eye area

If your brows have started to sit lower or your eyes look heavier than they used to, Sofwave offers a non-surgical brow lift. It is FDA-cleared for lifting the brow, with an average lift of 2.5 to 3mm. We can also treat the eyelids and the delicate skin under the eyes.

Jawline, jowls and under the chin

As we age, the skin along the jawline and neck loses its firmness, which can lead to jowls and loose skin under the chin. Sofwave is FDA-cleared to treat laxity under the chin and on the neck. That makes it a strong option for a non-surgical neck lift, jawline tightening or firming the area around a double chin.

 Fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring

Sofwave is also FDA-cleared to improve fine lines and wrinkles and the appearance of acne scarring. Because it works by rebuilding collagen, your skin looks smoother and firmer as the new collagen develops.

Body skin tightening

Sofwave isn't only for the face. We can treat the décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, thighs and knees, and it can give a temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Sofwave FAQs

What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy. It encourages your skin to make new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, so the skin looks firmer and lifted over time without injections or surgery.

How does Sofwave work?

Sofwave uses SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to send parallel beams of ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis, the layer of skin where collagen is made. This gently heats the tissue and triggers the skin's natural repair process. Built-in cooling protects the surface of the skin while the energy works underneath.

Is Sofwave safe?

Sofwave holds nine FDA clearances. Its patented contact cooling protects the surface of your skin, which allows effective energy levels to be used safely. Every treatment at AL Aesthetics starts with a consultation, so we can check that Sofwave is suitable for you before you go ahead.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need one Sofwave treatment, with a top-up once a year to maintain results. We'll confirm the right plan for you at your complimentary consultation.

Does Sofwave hurt?

Sofwave has built-in cooling that protects your skin throughout the treatment. We'll talk you through what to expect, and any comfort options, at your consultation.

Are there any side effects?

Downtime is minimal, so most people can carry on with their day after treatment.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Results build as your skin produces new collagen, and one treatment a year is usually enough to keep them.

Can Sofwave help with cellulite?

Yes. Sofwave is FDA-cleared for a temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite, and it can also tighten the skin on areas such as the thighs, abdomen and upper arms.

Is Sofwave the same as HIFU?

Sofwave belongs to the same family of ultrasound skin tightening treatments as HIFU, but it works differently. Instead of focusing energy on single points, it sends parallel beams into the mid-dermis and cools the skin's surface as it treats. That's why the treatment is quick and downtime is minimal.

How does Sofwave compare with Ultherapy?

Both treatments use ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin. Ultherapy focuses energy at deeper levels, including the muscle layer beneath the skin, while Sofwave treats the mid-dermis with parallel beams and built-in cooling. At your consultation, we'll help you decide what suits your skin and goals.

How does Sofwave compare with Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, so it involves needles passing into the skin. Sofwave uses ultrasound and doesn't break the skin's surface. If you're looking for a needle-free way to lift and tighten, Sofwave is a strong option.

Does Sofwave work on jowls?

Yes. The jawline and jowls are some of the most common areas we treat with Sofwave, alongside the neck and the area under the chin.

Is Sofwave suitable for my skin type?

Sofwave is suitable for all skin types. We'll check that it's right for you at your consultation.

Where can I have Sofwave?

Sofwave is available at our Solihull clinic. Book a free consultation and our team will find a time that suits you.
