Arlington Sofwave
A New Wave of Skin Technology
Reveal smoother skin and a refreshed appearance with Sofwave at SkinDC. It’s designed to soften acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles while rejuvenating thinning, crepey skin, and enhancing overall skin quality.
What Is Sofwave?
Non-Invasive Skin Lifting & Smoothing
Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to lift, tone, and improve skin laxity—without surgery, needles, or downtime. It works by stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, helping your skin look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Lift the eyebrows, neck, and under the chin (submental area)
- Improve the appearance of cellulite*
- Treat acne scars
- Firm crepey or loose skin on the upper arms
*For temporary improvement
The treatment uses targeted ultrasound energy to gently heat the skin’s deeper layers, triggering collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to noticeable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone—with no downtime required.
How Sofwave Works at SkinDC
Sofwave targets the mid-dermis—about 1.5mm beneath the skin’s surface—where wrinkles form. Using its advanced SUPERB™ (synchronous ultrasound parallel beam) technology, Sofwave delivers precise ultrasound energy to this exact depth to stimulate collagen production.
To keep your skin safe and comfortable, Sofwave features a built-in cooling system, Sofcool™, that protects the skin’s surface during treatment.
The ultrasound energy triggers your body’s natural healing response—called neo-collagenesis—boosting collagen renewal. This process helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles over time, giving your skin a firmer, more youthful look.
What to Expect During Your Sofwave Treatment
During the procedure, you may feel a warm sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered to your skin. To ensure your comfort, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment begins.
Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Once it’s complete, there’s no lingering discomfort, and no aftercare is needed. You can return to your normal skincare routine and daily activities immediately after your session.
After Your Sofwave Treatment
You can return to your normal activities right after your Sofwave session—there’s no downtime required. Some patients may notice mild redness or swelling, but this typically fades within a few hours.
There’s no special aftercare needed. You can apply makeup, go about your day, and continue your usual skincare routine without interruption.
Sofwave is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. It’s a safe, effective option for those who want visible results without disrupting their routine. Sofwave has:
- No skin penetration
- No bruising reported in clinical trials
- No device-related side effects
- No lingering pain or tenderness that would delay daily activities
Results & Recovery With Sofwave
While some improvement may be visible within the first week, the most noticeable results develop over the next three months. That’s when your skin naturally rebuilds collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to smoother, firmer, and more lifted skin.
Clinical studies show that just one Sofwave treatment can deliver results that last up to a year or more. Keep in mind that results vary depending on factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, and skincare habits.
