Sofwave™ Available in Pittsburgh

Sofwave™ Medical brings a novel approach to skin tightening using SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. Sofwave™’s breakthrough technology delivers a new standard of care to aesthetic treatments, providing safe aesthetic treatments for patients.

How does Sofwave™ work?

The depth for treating wrinkles is 1.5mm in the mid-dermis. Our unique, Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology generates heat at this exact depth in the mid-dermis. Additionally, there is an integrated cooling mechanism Sofcool ™ that protects the uppermost skin layer from burning.

The impacted treatment zones stimulate a healing response, called neo-collagenases, which increases and regenerates the collagen in the skin, leading to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

How is Sofwave™ better than other existing technologies?

Sofwave works differently than existing technologies – Sofwave was specifically designed to address some of the drawbacks people experienced with older ultrasound-based technologies. Here’s a clear breakdown:

1. Depth of Treatment

Older Technologies: Uses micro-focused ultrasound to target deep tissue layers (up to 4.5 mm), which stimulates collagen but can sometimes cause discomfort and longer recovery because it also affects deeper structures like muscle fascia.

Sofwave: Uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology that works at a shallower, more controlled depth (about 1.5 mm — in the mid-dermis), focusing precisely where collagen production benefits skin tightening without impacting deeper, more sensitive structures.

2. Comfort Level

Older Technologies: Known for being more painful during treatment, often requiring nerve blocks, prescription pain medication, or high-strength topical anesthetics.

Sofwave: Generally much more comfortable; most people do fine with topical numbing cream only, thanks to integrated cooling that protects the skin surface.

3. Safety Profile

Older Technologies: Deeper penetration means a slightly higher risk of affecting underlying tissues, nerves, or causing post-treatment tenderness/swelling.

Sofwave: More superficial energy delivery significantly lowers the risk of nerve injury or prolonged swelling.

4. Downtime

Older Technologies: Possible redness, swelling, tenderness, or even temporary numbness for days to weeks.

Sofwave: Minimal downtime — usually just mild redness that resolves within hours

How many treatments are needed?

Typically, the treatment protocol calls for 1-2 treatments, depending on the patient’s skin condition.

What does the Sofwave™ treatment feel like?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmness of the skin. Treatment is comfortable simply by applying a topical anesthetic cream just prior to the treatment. Following the treatment, there are no sensations and there is no need to apply special care on the skin. Daily care can be resumed immediately post treatment.

When can I expect to see results?

The collagen regeneration process can sometimes take up to 12 weeks, so patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3-month period after their treatment.

In Sofwave™’s clinical trials, results have been shown in as little as one treatment.

Are there any side effects with sofwave?

Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective and safe.

Immediately post treatment, the skin may appear slightly red with limited swelling for up to a few hours post treatment.

Sofwave treats any and all skin types with zero downtime. There are no marks to hide from or explain away, which can be particularly beneficial for people with busy schedules or who might be more private about anti-aging. One of the greatest benefits of Sofwave is that it usually takes six to sixteen weeks to show results. Sure, patients might want to appear younger as soon as possible, but more importantly, they don’t want to look drastically different than they did yesterday. Sofwave gradually reveals progress, helping people look younger over time rather than overnight.
