Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that may help skin look firmer, smoother and more refreshed. At Medical Aesthetics 360, every Sofwave plan begins with a personalised consultation at our Hurstville or Chatswood clinic.
As collagen and elastin change with age, skin may begin to look less firm, more lined or slightly looser. Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy at a controlled depth to support the skin’s natural collagen response, with improvement developing gradually. It is one option within our wider approach to non-surgical skin tightening.
Sofwave uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology to create controlled heat within the skin. This is intended to stimulate a healing response and support new collagen and elastin, which may improve selected lines, wrinkles and mild skin laxity.
Sofwave may appeal if you want a non-surgical treatment and a gradual change rather than a dramatic transformation. The aim is smoother-looking skin, softer lines and improved firmness while keeping your natural facial character.
Sofwave may suit adults beginning to notice mild to moderate skin laxity, facial lines or a softer jawline who would prefer a non-invasive option. Suitability depends on your skin, anatomy, medical history and the result you hope to achieve.
Not every concern is caused by skin laxity. A consultation helps distinguish firmness changes from volume loss, muscle activity, pigmentation or under-chin fullness. This allows your doctor to explain whether Sofwave fits your concern or whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
Sofwave treatment is usually straightforward, and many patients return to their normal routine shortly afterwards.
Your skin is assessed and cleansed. Topical numbing may be applied and allowed time to take effect.
Ultrasound gel is applied before the handpiece delivers energy across the planned areas. Integrated cooling helps protect the skin surface.
Common areas include the brow, cheeks, lower face, jawline and neck. More than one area may be treated when appropriate.
Temporary swelling, sensitivity or numbness may occur. Your practitioner will explain aftercare and when to resume skincare or other treatments.
Sofwave may be considered for selected face and neck concerns where the goal is firmer, smoother and more refreshed-looking skin.
Some patients notice an early change in skin texture, while collagen-related improvement generally develops over the following weeks. Timing and visible results vary between individuals.
Some patients notice that the treated skin feels fresher or slightly firmer.
Early visible changes may begin to appear, although this varies between patients.
Collagen remodelling takes time, so the result may continue to develop over approximately three months.
Some patients may have one session, while others may discuss additional treatment based on their response and goals.
Published studies can help explain how parallel-beam ultrasound has been evaluated, but they cannot predict an individual result. Your treatment plan should still be based on an in-person assessment.
A prospective multicentre study investigated a single treatment in 60 adults, with 58 completing the 12-week follow-up. The results were encouraging, although response and visible improvement will differ between patients.
