A closer look at wrinkles Sofwave dermal ultrasound

Parallel ultrasound energy delivered to the dermis at approximately 1.5 mm, with planning tailored to firmness and wrinkle concerns.

Understand where wrinkles begin

Sofwave is a non-invasive medical device using SUPERB™ technology to deliver multiple parallel ultrasound beams simultaneously. A thermal response at approximately 1.5 mm in the dermis supports subsequent collagen and elastin remodeling for firmness and wrinkle concerns. Its delivery depth differs from treatments aimed directly at fat.

Different stages of change One individualized assessment

Changes in dermal collagen and elastic fibers can contribute to wrinkles and laxity. Treatment is not determined by age alone: thickness, firmness and facial volume are reviewed together.

40s · Forehead wrinkles and firmness changes across several areas
50s and beyond · A broader review of eyelid, cheek and neck wrinkles or laxity

Targeting the dermis at approximately 1.5 mm

SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) delivers parallel ultrasound to the dermis at approximately 1.5 mm. Remodeling follows the thermal response and healing process. Integrated cooling helps protect the surface and manage discomfort.

A different depth and delivery from focused ultrasound

Some focused ultrasound treatments create small thermal points in deeper layers, such as 3.0 or 4.5 mm. Sofwave delivers parallel beams to approximately 1.5 mm in the dermis. Suitability depends on wrinkles, laxity, skin thickness and facial anatomy.

Sofwave lifting with parallel beams

The technology is designed to form seven cylindrical thermal-response zones simultaneously. Collagen and elastin remodeling supports gradual change. Illustrations explain the mechanism and do not represent a treatment result.

How Sofwave works

Multiple beams reach an area of the dermis at approximately 1.5 mm. Coverage, energy and pulse count are adjusted for skin condition. A lean face still requires individual suitability assessment.

Clinical information, individual expectations

Sofwave is FDA-cleared in the United States for facial fine lines and wrinkles and for lifting the eyebrow, neck and submental area. The manufacturer publishes SUPERB™ technology and clinical information.

US clearances may differ from Korean indications. Treatment follows local approved uses and clinical judgment. Specific results, pain-free treatment or prevention of hollowing are not guaranteed.

Aftercare precautions

Contact the clinic promptly for persistent or worsening redness or pain, blistering, burns or other unusual symptoms. Recovery varies by person.

Temporary redness, heat, swelling, tenderness or pain may occur.
Follow cleansing and makeup guidance; avoid strong exfoliation and friction.
Temporarily avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, alcohol and smoking.
Maintain hydration and sun protection.

Questions before Sofwave

How does it differ from Ultherapy PRIME?

Sofwave delivers parallel ultrasound to the dermis at about 1.5 mm. Ultherapy PRIME uses real-time ultrasound imaging to guide microfocused energy at multiple tissue depths. Suitability requires assessment.

Does 100 pulses mean the same coverage for everyone?

Pulse count alone does not determine coverage or results. Area and energy are planned around thickness, firmness and individual goals.

What about discomfort and recovery?

Cooling is used, but heat and pain can occur. Anesthesia, comfort management and daily-life guidance are individualized. Pain-free treatment or zero recovery is not guaranteed.

When might changes be seen?

Remodeling-related changes may be assessed over weeks to months. Timing, degree and duration depend on skin condition and lifestyle.
