Sofwave Ultrasound Skin Tightening

Sofwave non-invasive ultrasound skin tightening for the full face ($2,300) or face and neck ($2,800) at Austin Plastic Surgeon's MedSpa. Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology delivers 2 MHz focused ultrasound energy at 1.5 mm depth within the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin remodelling to lift brows, tighten skin, and reduce fine lines — with no downtime. Single-session treatment with results lasting 12+ months.

Austin Plastic Surgeon's MedSpa offers the Sofwave platform, a non-invasive ultrasound skin tightening system using Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB) technology that represents a distinct approach from HIFU systems such as Ultherapy or Ultraformer. While HIFU devices focus energy at discrete point targets deep in the dermis or SMAS layer, Sofwave delivers 2 MHz parallel ultrasound beams that create a precisely controlled thermal injury zone at a uniform depth of 1.5 mm — within the mid-dermis, where collagen fibers and fibroblasts are most concentrated. This controlled thermal effect at the mid-dermal level triggers wound healing and collagen neogenesis without the deeper SMAS targeting of HIFU, making Sofwave particularly well-suited to patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity and are primarily concerned with skin quality and fine lines rather than deep structural descent requiring the SMAS lift effect. The Sofwave treatment panel uses an integrated cooling mechanism (CoolSense) that maintains the overlying epidermal surface at a safe temperature throughout the ultrasound delivery, protecting the skin surface while the thermal dose builds in the dermis. Treatment of the full face takes approximately 45 minutes and requires no anaesthesia beyond optional topical numbing cream. The full face is priced at $2,300 and face plus neck at $2,800. Results develop gradually over one to three months as new collagen matures, and are associated with lasting twelve months or more. Patients typically experience mild temporary redness for one to two hours post-treatment with no significant downtime.
