In this blog, we’ll explore how Sofwave works, what makes it different from other treatments, and why so many clients at DermaTouch RN are choosing it as their go-to option for natural, lasting results.

Ready to discover the future of skin rejuvenation? We turn to Houston-based Aestheticians Ashley Darbonne and Krys Givens for their professional insights about this nonsurgical skin tightening treatment.

What is Sofwave, and how does it work as a noninvasive skin tightening treatment? 

Sofwave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared skin treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and lift the skin. According to Darbonne:

“Sofwave is a controlled thermal injury that rejuvenates skin from the inside out, without damaging the surface. It works by delivering Ultrasound through the epidermis, or outer skin layer, to a depth of 1.5 to 2 mm into the dermis, targeting collagen-rich tissue. Once the waves hit the collagen layer, they convert to heat, reaching approximately 60°C. 

At this temperature, collagen fibers denature (break down structurally), which triggers the body’s wound-healing response, prompting new collagen synthesis. It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid production, improving firmness, elasticity, and hydration of the skin.”

Who is an ideal candidate?

“Ideal candidates are 35 to 55 years of age and exhibit mild to moderate skin laxity,” states Darbonne, “The treatment is considered safe and effective across all skin types.”

To summarize, targeting the mid-dermal layer, Sofwave delivers precise energy that tightens and smooths areas like the brow, jawline, neck, and décolleté—without damaging the skin’s surface. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, Sofwave is ideal for those looking for a noninvasive skin tightening treatment to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and achieve a more youthful appearance naturally and safely.

What are the benefits of Sofwave?

Aside from the evidence-backed results people achieve with Sofwave, the treatment is also quick, non-invasive, and provides gradual, long-lasting results. 

“I love that Sofwave is a no downtime treatment, and you can do this service year-round with zero concern about sun avoidance!” shares Givens, “I’ve also been generally impressed with neck results with Sofwave; prior to Sofwave, many of my clients with neck concerns would be referred out for a surgical consult, because I just didn’t have tools that would create the lift and rejuvenation they desire (until now).”

To reiterate Sofwave’s benefits, Darbonne shares, “I love that Sofwave is non-invasive, so there is zero downtime. And it’s a gradual improvement, which is great for those who want a more natural approach to anti-aging.” 

What results can people expect with Sofwave?

According to Givens, Sofwave treatment results include lifting of the chin, neck, and brows, as well as additional benefits, such as softening of fine lines and improvement in skin firmness. 

“Sofwave is indicated as a lifting treatment for the chin, neck, and brows,” shares Givens, “It may also soften nasolabial folds and fine lines and help with skin firmness and overall skin quality, yielding a rejuvenated, more youthful look! For the body, Sofwave can improve the appearance of crepey skin on areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, and knees.” 

How long do results last? What about maintenance treatments?

Sofwave results typically last for around a year. 

“However, some patients may find treating between 6 to 12 months for a post-corrective regimen as the best maintenance plan for them,” states Givens, “Factors such as age, skin quality, and aesthetic goals can influence individual recommended treatment plans and maintenance.”

What are complementary treatments to Sofwave?

Are you looking to increase your overall results and get more bang for your buck? There are several complementary treatments to Sofwave that can improve your overall outcome. According to Givens and Garbone, these include CoolPeel, biostimulators, and medical-grade skincare. 

“CoolPeel is a perfect complement to Sofwave to help address tone and texture concerns, such as sun damage, fine lines, and enlarged pores,” shares Givens. 

Medical-grade skin care, like SkinMedica, can also help prolong results. Givens recommends pairing Sofwave treatments with products like TNS Advanced+ Serum for the face, Neck Correct Cream for the neck, and Firm & Tone for Sofwave body treatments. 

“Complementary treatments that I love are CoolPeel, which offers resurfacing results,” shares Darbonne, “Sculptra or Radiesse biostimulators are other good options, both promoting collagen production, as well.” 

About CoolPeel

CoolPeel is an advanced CO₂ laser skin resurfacing treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers that often require extended recovery, CoolPeel utilizes short, high-energy pulses to precisely target the superficial layers of skin, reducing heat damage to surrounding tissues. 

This approach stimulates collagen production and promotes the growth of new skin cells, effectively addressing fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. CoolPeel is suitable for various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it an ideal option for those seeking noticeable skin improvements without significant downtime.

About Biostimulators – Sculptra and Radiesse

Sculptra and Radiesse are biostimulatory dermal fillers that enhance facial volume and improve skin texture by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulator injectables work gradually over time, delivering longer-lasting, natural-looking results. The exception is Radiesse, which provides immediate results with gradual improvement of collagen production over time, too. 

Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid, while Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite—both of which promote collagen growth for firmer, more youthful skin. Commonly used for facial contouring, cheek enhancement, and improving skin laxity, these treatments are ideal for individuals seeking subtle rejuvenation with benefits that continue to improve over several months.
