We’re proud to offer Sofwave® at our Manhattan NYC plastic surgery practice. Sofwave is one of the most exciting advances in non-invasive skin rejuvenation available today. For New Yorkers who want a youthful lift without surgery, extensive downtime, or injections, Sofwave provides a safe, FDA-cleared option that harnesses cutting-edge ultrasound technology to tighten and smooth skin with natural-looking results.
What is Sofwave?
Sofwave is an innovative, non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin laxity in targeted areas like the face and neck. It uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver precise energy deep into the skin’s mid-dermal layer — where collagen and elastin are naturally produced.
Unlike lasers or injectables that focus on surface level improvements, Sofwave works beneath the skin without damaging the outer layer, meaning patients can return to their daily lives immediately after treatment.
Why Sofwave Is a Smart Choice for Anti-Aging
- Stimulates collagen and elastin naturally — encouraging firmer, thicker, more youthful skin over time.
- FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.
- Quick treatments — most sessions take about 30–45 minutes.
- Minimal discomfort and no downtime, so you can go straight back to work or errands.
- Natural, subtle results — as your body builds collagen over the following weeks, your skin becomes visibly smoother and lifted.
- Sofwave is ideal for individuals noticing early signs of aging, mild to moderate sagging around the jawline or neck, subtle brow droop, or fine wrinkles that don’t respond to topical treatments. It’s especially attractive for those who aren’t ready for surgical intervention like a facelift but want a noticeable improvement without needles or incisions.
