In the evolving landscape of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, there is a plethora of options available for those looking to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing traditional surgery. Among these, Sofwave has emerged as a notable contender, offering unique benefits and distinctions from other popular treatments such as Microneedling, Morpheus8, Ultherapy, and Exilis Ultra. Understanding these differences is key to choosing the right treatment for your skin concerns. Charmed Medispa was the leader in Delaware to have Sofwave and introduce it to our community. Our staff and our patients love the results @sofwave. Look at this before and after our patient after 6 weeks post Sofwave treatment. Incredible. We can also compare and contrast Sofwave treatment with other options from the past. Let’s dive in.
Introduction to Sofwave
Sofwave is a cutting-edge, non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to address skin laxity, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenate the skin. It uses a next-generation ultrasound technology called Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™, which targets the mid-dermis. The technology stimulates collagen and elastin production by heating the skin at a precise depth, promoting a natural healing response without damaging the skin’s surface. Sofwave works without pain and without downtime. In addition, it’s FDA approved for eyelid lifting, wrinkle improvement, under the chin and neck lifting, acne scar improvement and recently for arm laxity. Sofwave is the full package for patients looking for lifting, hydration, glow and tighter skin without having downtime.
Sofwave Treatment vs. Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create thousands of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. This process also stimulates collagen and elastin production but does so by mechanically injuring the skin to trigger the healing process. While both Sofwave and microneedling aim to rejuvenate the skin by enhancing collagen production, Sofwave does so without the need for needles and is typically associated with a more comfortable treatment experience and minimal downtime. Microneedling is beneficial for fine lines and wrinkles as well as acne scarring.
Sofwave vs. Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and contour the face and body. It penetrates deeper into the skin than traditional microneedling, targeting the subdermal layers to remodel collagen on the face and body. While Morpheus8 is effective for tissue remodeling and fat reduction at deeper levels, Sofwave is more focused on improving skin quality and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it suitable for those looking for a non-invasive approach with less recovery time.
Sofwave vs. Ultherapy
Ultherapy is another non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. It targets deeper skin layers, including the same muscular layer addressed in surgical facelifts (the SMAS layer), to lift and support the skin from within. While both Ultherapy and Sofwave utilize ultrasound technology, Sofwave’s unique approach allows for a more comfortable experience with consistent results in skin rejuvenation. Ultherapy is known for its ability to provide significant lifting results, especially in the lower face and neck, whereas Sofwave is preferred for overall skin rejuvenation with less discomfort. Ultherapy tends to be painful and that is a major difference in the two technologies. Patients tend to want procedures that they endure well and Sofwave hits home with this goal.
Sofwave vs. Exilis Ultra
Exilis Ultra combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energies to tighten skin and address body concerns. It’s versatile in treating various areas of the body and face, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. While Exilis Ultra offers both skin tightening and fat reduction benefits, Sofwave specializes in skin rejuvenation and is particularly effective for those looking solely for skin tightening and improvement in skin quality without the broader scope of body contouring.
What are Sofwave costs?
Costs vary for Sofwave depending on the total surface area to be treated as well as how much laxity or sagging the patient has. Sofwave is a pulse dependent technology meaning that the more pulses you do, the better the outcome. Prices start at $1500. Areas that can be performed with Sofwave include around the eyes, brow lifting, cheek and jowls, wrinkles around the mouth, jawline, double chin and loose skin on the neck as well as wrinkles on the neck. In addition, Sofwave is FDA approved to treat arm laxity especially the upper arm!
What are the side effects of Sofwave?
The main risk factor for Sofwave is the possible need for more than one treatment. Sofwave treatments can be spaced 3 months apart if you are looking for additional improvement and results.

Conclusion
In conclusion, while each of these treatments—Sofwave, Microneedling, Morpheus8, Ultherapy, and Exilis Ultra—has its own set of benefits and ideal use cases, Sofwave stands out for its non-invasive approach, minimal downtime, and focus on improving skin quality and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The choice between these treatments should be based on individual skin concerns, desired outcomes, and personal preferences regarding downtime and treatment experience. Consulting with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic practitioner can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your skin rejuvenation goals.
