Sofwave

Next-generation ultrasound tightening that precisely targets the mid-dermis.

About Procedure

About Sofwave

Sofwave is an ultrasound tightening device that uses SUPERB™ technology to deliver multiple parallel ultrasound beams to the mid-dermis (about 1.5 mm deep), stimulating collagen and elastin renewal.

A real-time cooling system built into the handpiece protects the skin surface as energy is delivered, reducing stress on the epidermis while improving both fine lines and sagging.

SIA Clinic Gangnam offers full-face or partial treatments in 50-, 100- and 200-shot options, and can also advise on combination programs with Ultherapy Prime, Titanium Lifting and more.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What is the difference between Sofwave and Ulthera?
Ulthera excels at deep lifting down to the fascia layer (SMAS), while Sofwave delivers energy broadly across the mid-dermis, excelling at improving fine lines and firmness. Combined, they treat the deep layers and the dermis at the same time.
Q.  How is the shot count determined?
Partial treatments use 50 shots, and full-face treatments range from 100 to 200 shots depending on the degree of sagging and desired results.
Q.  Is it very painful?
Although the cooling system operates throughout, you may feel brief bursts of heat. Numbing cream helps reduce discomfort.
Q.  When will I see results?
You may feel firmer right after treatment, with gradual improvement over 1–3 months as collagen regenerates. Results vary by individual.
