Sofwave Cost in NYC: 2026 Pricing
Here is what Sofwave costs at our Manhattan office in 2026. These are our current new client prices.
| Treatment Area | Special Price | Regular Price |
|---|---|---|
| Face | $1,750 | $3,000 |
| Neck | $1,750 | $3,000 |
| Face + Neck Combo | $3,200 | $6,000 |

For most people the face and neck combo is the best deal. If you are getting both done anyway you save about $300 compared to booking them separately.
You can see all the pricing details on our main Sofwave page too.
What Affects the Cost of Sofwave in Manhattan
The Sofwave price you see online is not always the same price you end up paying. A few things change the final cost.
1. The treatment area
A small area like under the chin will cost less than doing your full face. The neck is its own price. Body areas like arms or above the knees are priced per session because they are bigger areas with more passes needed.
2. How many sessions you need
Most patients only need one Sofwave treatment to see results. Some people with more skin laxity want a second session about three months later for extra tightening. That second session is an additional cost.
3. Where you go
This is a big one. The Sofwave Manhattan cost varies a lot from office to office. Some offices in NYC charge $4,000 or more for the same face treatment we do for $1,750. The technology is the same. The training of the person doing it is what matters.
At Manhattan Aesthetics our providers do this treatment all the time so you are not paying premium plastic surgeon office prices for a non-surgical procedure.
4. New client specials and promotions
If you are a new client you usually qualify for our new client special which is 20% off most treatments. Sofwave is sometimes part of seasonal promotions too. Check our current specials page to see what is going on right now.
What You Actually Get for the Price
When you pay for Sofwave you are paying for more than just the time in the chair. Here is what is included in our pricing.
- A full consultation before treatment to make sure you are a good candidate
- Numbing cream applied to your skin for comfort
- The actual Sofwave treatment which takes 30 to 60 minutes
- The provider doing all the proper passes for your treatment area (this matters a lot for results)
- Aftercare instructions
- Follow up if you have questions
You are not paying for a quick treatment. You are paying for someone who knows what they are doing to use the device the right way on your specific skin.
Is Sofwave Worth the Cost?
This is what most people really want to know. The honest answer is it depends on what you are looking for.
Sofwave is worth the cost if:
- You have early or moderate skin laxity and you do not want surgery
- Taking downtime off work is not an option for you
- Long lasting results matter to you (most patients see results lasting up to a year or longer)
- You want one treatment instead of a series
Sofwave is probably not the right choice if:
- You have very loose, sagging skin that really needs a facelift
- Immediate dramatic change is what you want (Sofwave results build over 12 weeks as collagen rebuilds)
- Your budget is very tight and you need something cheaper
Compared to a facelift which can cost $20,000 or more in NYC, $1,750 to $3,200 for Sofwave with no downtime is a much easier yes for most people.
Sofwave vs Other Skin Tightening Treatments in NYC
People always ask how Sofwave compares to other treatments price wise. Here is a rough idea.
| Treatment | Typical NYC Price | Sessions Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Sofwave | $1,750 to $3,200 | Usually 1 |
| Ultherapy | $2,500 to $5,000 | Usually 1 |
| RF Microneedling | $800 to $1,500 per session | 3 to 4 |
| Thread Lift | $2,000 to $4,500 | 1, lasts 1 to 2 years |
| Surgical Facelift | $15,000 to $30,000+ | 1, with surgery and downtime |

Payment Plans and Financing
We know $1,750 to $3,200 is not pocket change. Therefore, we offer 0% interest financing through Care Credit and Cherry which lets you split the payment up over several months with no interest if paid on time.
Manhattan Aesthetics accepts all major credit cards too. If you are doing a bigger package some patients put part on their HSA or FSA card if they have leftover funds at the end of the year, although Sofwave is generally considered cosmetic so check with your plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Sofwave cost in NYC?
The Sofwave cost in NYC ranges from about $1,750 to $4,000 depending on the area and the office you go to. At Manhattan Aesthetics our face and neck treatments start at $1,750 and our body sessions are $1,200 each. The Sofwave NYC price you see online may not include consultation or numbing, so always ask what is included.
Is Sofwave covered by insurance?
No. Sofwave is a cosmetic treatment, so insurance does not cover it. However, some patients use HSA or FSA funds for it, but you should check with your plan administrator first.
How many Sofwave treatments will I need?
Most patients only need one Sofwave treatment to see real results. However, some people choose to do a second treatment three months later for extra tightening. Additionally, we recommend a yearly maintenance session to keep your collagen production going.
Why is Sofwave cheaper at some places in Manhattan?
Pricing depends on the office overhead, the experience of the provider, and how many treatments they do. For example, a board-certified plastic surgeon office on Park Avenue will usually charge more than a focused med spa even though the device is the same. So what you really want to ask is how many Sofwave treatments the provider has done. Experience matters more than office decor.
Is Softwave the same as Sofwave?
Yes. Softwave is just a common misspelling of Sofwave, so they are the same treatment. The brand name is Sofwave (no T). However, a lot of people search for Softwave NYC or Softwave Manhattan and end up at the same offices.
How long do Sofwave results last?
Sofwave results typically last about a year or longer. Your skin will keep looking better for about three months after treatment as your body builds new collagen. Then you keep those results for the rest of the year. Finally, yearly maintenance helps keep things looking fresh.
Can I finance Sofwave?
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing through Care Credit and Cherry. So you can split your payment over several months with no interest if you pay on time. We can also go over financing options at your consultation.
