Sofwave is an advanced, non-invasive ultrasound technology designed to stimulate collagen production while gently treating sagging skin and fine lines. Developed by the company Sofwave Medical, its goal is to help you look and feel more confident without surgery and long downtime.
At Spa Medicca, we’ve incorporated Sofwave into our laser & device treatment menu because we believe in combining cutting-edge technology with individualized care.
Sofwave is cleared for a variety of skin concerns:
Lifting & tightening of the eyebrows, neck, and sub-mental (under the chin) area.
Improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Addressing skin laxity of the upper arms.
Helping improve the appearance of cellulite for the short term.
Treating acne scars.
Through its “Pure Impact” module, strengthening, toning and firming the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and arms.
If you’re noticing your skin isn’t as firm as it once was, or you’re not ready for surgery but want meaningful improvement, Sofwave may be a great option for you!
During your session, one of our experienced providers will apply the Sofwave handpiece to the targeted areas.
The device delivers ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis layer of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production — the building blocks for firmer, smoother skin.
Because the energy is delivered in a precise, controlled way, there’s little to no downtime. You can typically resume your normal schedule soon after your visit.
Over the following weeks and months, you’ll begin to notice gradual improvement as your skin’s texture, tone and firmness enhance.
Benefits you may experience:
Firmer skin around the jawline, neck and lower face.
Reduced fine lines and smoother skin texture.
Improved under-chin definition (less “double chin” appearance).
Tighter upper arms, abdomen or other body areas (if treated).
A more refreshed and youthful overall appearance without injectable fillers or surgical lifting.
What happens during and after your visit:
A typical treatment session lasts about 30-60 minutes (depending on area).
You might experience mild warmth or tingling during the procedure — this is normal.
Immediately after, you might notice redness or mild swelling; this generally subsides within a few hours to a day.
You can return to most regular activities right away; avoid heavy exercise or direct sun exposure for the rest of that day.
Because collagen formation takes time, best results usually show over 8-12 weeks, with improvements continuing up to 6 months.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve your results long term.
At Spa Medicca we tailor every recommendation to your skin, health history and aesthetic goals. You may be a good candidate for Sofwave if you:
Are noticing sagging or laxity in your face, neck, chin or upper arms.
Want noticeable improvement without surgery or major downtime.
Have realistic expectations: Sofwave is not a surgical lift, but a non-invasive enhancement.
Are in reasonably good health and willing to follow pre- and post-treatment care (e.g., sun protection, skincare regimen).
If you have active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area.
If you’ve had recent surgical procedures or implants in the target area (our provider will review your history).
If you are pregnant or nursing.
If you expect an instant dramatic “lift” like a surgical facelift — remember this is a gradual collagen-based rejuvenation.
We combine advanced technology like Sofwave with experienced providers who understand aesthetics, skin science and safety.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see meaningful results after one session; depending on your skin condition and goals, your provider may recommend a second session.
Is the treatment painful?
You may feel mild warmth or tingling during the procedure but it is generally well-tolerated. For extra comfort you can add Nitronox for $75!
When will I see results?
You may see early improvements within a few weeks, but collagen regeneration takes time. Most noticeable improvements show between 8-12 weeks. Results may continue up to 6 months post-treatment.
How long will the results last?
Results vary by individual, skin condition, age, lifestyle and aftercare. Maintenance treatments and good skincare habits (sun protection, skincare regimen, healthy living) help prolong results.
Any downtime or side effects?
Minimal. Some mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves within a day. You can typically resume regular activities immediately.
