Sofwave® is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after non-invasive skin-firming treatments in the UK. At Moreton Aesthetics, I see more and more patients curious about whether Sofwave® could be the right choice for them.
To help, I've put together a guide answering the most common questions people ask about Sofwave® on Google – from what it is, how it works, to what kind of results you can expect.
LIFT & FIRM.
What is Sofwave®?
Sofwave® is an advanced, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. It targets the mid-dermis – the layer of skin responsible for firmness and elasticity – helping to lift and firm areas such as the brow, jawline, neck and cheeks.
Unlike some other ultrasound treatments, Sofwave® is designed with patient comfort in mind. It offers impressive results with minimal downtime, making it ideal for those who want a refreshed and natural look without undergoing invasive procedures.
How does Sofwave® work?
The treatment works by delivering Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology into the skin. This heats the mid-dermis to a precise temperature, triggering your body’s natural healing response. Over the following weeks and months, your skin produces new collagen and elastin, which helps to firm, smooth, and lift.
Because Sofwave® targets a very specific depth of skin, it avoids damaging the surface and the deeper muscle and fat . This makes it a safe and effective choice for a wide range of skin types and tones.
Who is Sofwave® suitable for?
Most people considering Sofwave® are in their 30s and above, and may have started to notice early signs of ageing such as:
Mild to moderate skin laxity
Drooping brows or jowls
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of definition along the jawline or neck
If you’re looking for a natural refresh without resorting to surgery, Sofwave® can be an excellent choice. At Moreton Aesthetics, I will always carry out a full consultation to assess your skin, medical history, and goals before recommending treatment.
Is Sofwave® safe?
Yes. Sofwave® is FDA-cleared and CE-marked for safety and efficacy. It uses ultrasound energy that is well-researched and has been clinically proven to improve skin laxity.
Because the treatment targets only the mid-dermis, it avoids risks associated with deeper treatments or invasive procedures. Patients may experience slight redness or swelling immediately afterwards, but this usually resolves within a few hours.
How many Sofwave® treatments do I need?
One of the most appealing aspects of Sofwave® is that many patients achieve noticeable results after just one treatment. However, depending on your skin’s starting point and your goals, I may recommend a personalised treatment plan, which could include maintenance sessions every 12–18 months.
What results can I expect from Sofwave®?
Most patients see an improvement in skin tone and firming within 4–6 weeks, with results continuing to develop over 3–6 months as new collagen is formed.
You can expect:
Lifting of the eyebrows and cheeks
A more defined jawline
Smoother, firmer skin on the neck
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
Results are natural-looking, meaning you’ll look like yourself – just fresher and more youthful.
Does Sofwave® hurt?
Discomfort is usually minimal. Patients often describe a warming sensation during treatment, which is well-tolerated thanks to the device’s integrated cooling technology. I always use a topical numbing cream at Moreton Aesthetics to make the experience even more comfortable.
How much does Sofwave® cost in the UK?
Prices vary depending on the area being treated. At Moreton Aesthetics, I believe in transparent pricing and tailoring treatment plans to individual needs. During your consultation, you’ll receive a full breakdown of costs along with recommendations for the best approach for your skin.
How long does Sofwave® last?
The results of Sofwave® typically last 12–18 months, depending on your age, lifestyle, and skin health. Because it works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, results develop gradually and can be maintained with annual maintenance sessions.
Is there any downtime with Sofwave®?
One of the biggest benefits of Sofwave® is that there’s little to no downtime. You can return to work or social activities straight away. Some patients may notice mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment, but this is temporary and usually settles within a few hours.
Sofwave® vs other treatments – how does it compare?
Many patients compare Sofwave® to HIFU or radiofrequency treatments. While each has its place, Sofwave® is unique because it offers precise, predictable results with a high safety profile. Unlike deeper HIFU treatments, it avoids risks to underlying structures, and compared to radiofrequency, it reaches a more optimal depth for stimulating collagen in the mid-dermis.
If you’re unsure which treatment is best for your skin, I will guide you through your options, including microneedling with SkinPen and bioremodellers such as Sculptra® and Radiesse®.
