Sofwave™ is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that targets the mid-dermal layer of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Unlike older ultrasound technologies, Sofwave™ uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology, which delivers controlled energy precisely where collagen remodeling occurs—without damaging the surface of the skin or affecting the fat layer.
This makes Sofwave™ a safe and effective option for patients seeking skin tightening and wrinkle reduction without needles, surgery, or extended recovery time.
How Does Sofwave™ Work?
SUPERB™ technology works using ultrasound waves that target the dermis at a depth of 1.5mm. Cells in this layer of skin produce vital support proteins like collagen and elastin. This energy heats the dermis to boost collagen production. At the same time, the heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract, giving you immediate lift and tightening. Furthermore, the precise depth of the ultrasound energy allows it to avoid harming the surface of the skin or any surrounding tissues. Additionally, the Sofcool™ system maintains the outer skin at a safe temperature. Sofwave™ provides highly effective results with noticeable lift, reduced lines and wrinkles, and less laxity.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sofwave™?
Unlike many of the treatments that use laser energy, Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types and tones. Sofwave™ is ideal for individuals who want to improve skin laxity without invasive procedures. Additionally, you may also be a good candidate if you want to use Sofwave™ as a preventative treatment to maintain healthy collagen levels. Sofwave™ can help you fight off signs of aging by reversing natural collagen loss.
Benefits of Sofwave™ Treatment
Sofwave™ is popular among patients in Manhattan because it delivers noticeable skin improvement without disrupting busy lifestyles. Sofwave™ stands out as one of the most effective non-surgical skin tightening treatments available today. Patients love the natural-looking results and convenience of the procedure.
Sofwave™ is a preventative anti-aging treatment or as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. Many patients notice early improvements within weeks, with optimal results continuing to develop over 12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.

What to Expect During Your Sofwave™ Treatment

During the Treatment:
- A topical numbing agent is applied for comfort
- The Sofwave™ handpiece gently administers pulses across the skin
- Patients experience a warming sensation with brief pulses
After the Treatment:
- Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves quickly
- You can return to work or daily activities immediately
- Very minimal post-treatment care is required
Sofwave™ Results and Timeline
Results from Sofwave™ develop gradually as collagen regeneration occurs.
Typical Results Timeline:
- Initial skin firmness may be noticeable within a few weeks
- Continued improvement over 8–12 weeks
- Optimal results appear around 3 months
- Results can last up to one year or longer
Most patients achieve excellent results with one Sofwave™ treatment, though some may benefit from additional sessions depending on skin laxity and goals.
What Our Clients Are Saying
"Was lucky enough to get a last minute appointment for sofwave treatment with Susan. I was nervous to try the procedure but from the moment I called the office and spoke to Chris, I knew I picked the right spot. He was informative, patient, and kind, setting the tone for a great experience end to end. When I arrived for the procedure I was greeted by Susan, my provider. I explained my concerns and interests and she spent a great deal of time explaining the procedure, after care, what to expect, and any other random questions I had. Her thoroughness, expertise and experience was evident in not only her explanation but in the execution of the procedure itself. Throughout the procedure she ensured I was comfortable and her warm, calm nature brought me great ease. 2 weeks later I can already see results way ahead of anticipated schedule and I am so glad I chose Manhattan Aesthetics and Susan!"*

"I have been a customer at Manhattan Aesthetics for over a year now and the service is OUTSTANDING! They have been so supportive of my aesthetic journey. When a certain treatment hasn't worked for me, they have tried every which way to tailor their services to my needs. The nurses and manager Craig have been phenomenal. Highly recommend!"*

"I am so happy to have found Manhattan Aesthetics and am beyond satisfied with my treatments at this location. It is clean and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Chelsey and Eva are gems. My treatments with Rita, Marek and Natalie have been wonderful. I am still in disbelief by how effective the emsculpt neo, vivace and sofwave are. I highly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy, honest and clean cosmetic center."*

"I am totally addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics! Chelsea and Craig are so pleasant, kind and helpful. It’s always so nice to see them. The space is gorgeous. Both Lola and Natalie are great!! I couldn’t be happier with the first procedure I have received from Lola. Results were visible weeks before the suggested 6 week mark. I am currently undergoing the ThermiSmooth and will have to wait out the results but I will come back to update. I want to try the microneedling and photofacial next. I am addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics and the wonderful staff here. I came in through a groupon offer and I have no intentions of straying."*

"I am absolutely happy with the service I received at Manhattan Aesthetics. Everyone there is super nice, very friendly. Their office is pretty nice and clean. They have these candles at the front desk that smell fantastic and the melody makes you feel relaxed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone."*
~ B Jacquez
"My experience was nothing short of amazing! the entire staff, specifically Craig, Chelsey and Natalie could not have been more informative, helpful and caring! I learned the hard way that body contouring does in fact work after a long painful expensive bout with coolsculpting at skinney medspa. I then purchased the 4 applicator special at Manhattan Aesthetics for the sculpSURE laser. After 3-4 weeks my flanks were dramatically less bulky with a very noticeable definition. I have since treated my inner thighs and outer thighs. Everything about my experience and the procedure has been phenomenal!"*
~ Julia L
"Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait."*

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it Like Getting Sofwave™ Treatment?
Your Sofwave™ treatment starts with a gel applied to your face. This gel helps transmit the energy to your skin. Many people describe Sofwave™ treatment as a feeling of heat that increases in intensity for a few seconds before moving to the next spot. An average treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes and treats your entire face and neck. Numbing cream and the Sofcool™ technology will ensure that you feel minimal discomfort.
How Long Does it Take to See Results After Sofwave™?
Many people see visible results immediately after treatment as collagen fibers contract. You may notice that your jawline, forehead, and neck look tighter after your session. Increased facial lift and fullness develop over the next three months as your skin produces more new collagen.
How Many Sofwave™ Treatments Will I Need?
Sofwave™ induces collagen development more effectively than other non-invasive treatments. Most people will see long-lasting results with one treatment. Some may choose to have a second treatment after three months if they want to see more tightening and smoothing. Yearly maintenance treatments are recommended to keep collagen production at optimal levels.
Is There Any Downtime With Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ targets a precise layer of the dermis, protecting the skin’s surface and deep layers. You can return to work or other activities immediately. However, your skin might look red and flushed for up to a day. UV rays damage collagen, so maximize your Sofwave™ results by using consistent sun protection.
What areas can be treated with Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is commonly used to treat:
- Face
- Neck
- Jawline
- Cheeks
- Brows
- Under the chin (submental area)
- Upper Arms
- Above The Knees
- Abdomen
- Thighs
What's the difference between Sofwave™ and Softwave?
Sofwave™ is commonly misspelled as Softwave. Your phone and computer will likely autocorrect to Softwave! But they are the same thing. It is just a common misspelling.
