Sofwave™ for facial lines and wrinkles
Why facial lines respond to 1.5 mm mid-dermal ultrasound
Perioral lines, cheek rhytids, forehead lines, and accordion lines form as the mid-dermal collagen matrix thins with age. Sofwave™ places 7 parallel cylindrical thermal zones horizontally at 1.5 mm beneath the epidermis, covering a high percentage of the mid-dermis per pulse while Sofcool™ contact cooling keeps the skin surface intact.
Treatment protocol and sensation
After 30–45 minutes of topical numbing at our NoMad studio, the handpiece is stamped methodically across the cheek, perioral, and forehead zones over 30–45 minutes. You feel a brief 4-second wave of deep warmth at the end of each pulse followed immediately by cooling, and you can apply makeup or return to work right away.
How many sessions and timeline
Most guests seeking improvement in facial lines and wrinkles begin with 1 full-face session, with a 2nd session spaced 6–12 months later depending on baseline laxity. New collagen fibers mature steadily over 8–12 weeks.

Aesthetic devices are cleared under FDA 510(k), which is not the same as approved. We cite the clearance so you can read the indication yourself. It describes the device, not any individual result — outcomes vary, and a consultation is what determines whether a treatment suits you.
