What Is Sofwave™?

Sofwave™ skin treatment is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment using proprietary SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology. Ultrasound energy is delivered into the mid-dermis, where controlled heating is intended to stimulate remodeling of collagen and elastin.

The technology is FDA-cleared to improve facial lines and wrinkles and to lift the eyebrow, lax submental tissue beneath the chin, and lax neck tissue. Treatment suitability and areas treated should be determined during a clinical consultation.

Why Patients Choose Sofwave™ for the Jawline & Neck

Changes in collagen and skin laxity can make the lower face, jawline, area beneath the chin, and neck appear less defined over time. Sofwave™ is designed to treat the skin rather than add facial volume.

For patients who want a non-surgical option, treatment may be considered when the goal is to improve skin firmness, facial lines, and the appearance of lax tissue while avoiding incisions and significant recovery time.

How Sofwave™ Supports Collagen & Elastin Remodeling

Sofwave™ delivers ultrasound energy at a controlled depth in the mid-dermis. The thermal effect is designed to initiate a healing response associated with new collagen and elastin formation. Sofwave also describes regeneration involving hyaluronic acid as part of its skin-remodeling response.

Because remodeling takes time, improvement can continue over the weeks and months following treatment rather than appearing all at once.

What Areas Can Sofwave™ Treat?

Eyebrow Area

Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for eyebrow lifting.

Facial Lines & Wrinkles

The technology is FDA-cleared for non-invasive improvement of facial lines and wrinkles.

Submental Area

Lax tissue beneath the chin is an FDA-cleared treatment indication.

Neck

Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared for lifting lax neck tissue.

How Many Sofwave™ Treatments Are Needed?

The patient shown in this case received two treatments approximately six months apart. That does not mean every patient needs the same schedule. Sofwave patient information describes a typical protocol of one to two treatments depending on skin condition and provider recommendation.

Collagen remodeling is gradual, and improvement can continue during the months following treatment. The appropriate number and timing of treatments should be personalized.

Sofwave™ vs. Injectable Facial Rejuvenation

Sofwave™ and injectable treatments address different aspects of facial aging. Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to target skin remodeling, while neuromodulators such as BOTOX® or Dysport® temporarily reduce selected muscle activity and dermal fillers can restore or add volume.

For a muscle-focused treatment example, see our Dysport® Before & After in Brooklyn, NY case. Patients interested in a multi-modality approach can also review our Full-Face BOTOX®, Radiesse® & PDGF results in Brooklyn.

Yelena is absolutely the best! I am thrilled with my results! From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable and confident that I was in the best hands. My face looks amazing—so natural, refreshed, and beautifully balanced. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Yelena. I have been seeing Yelena since 2023 and will definitely be coming back! ❤️

I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin, PA-C highly enough. After another dermatologist at a different practice misdiagnosed my skin concerns, I sought a second opinion with Yelena. She identified both a melanoma and a basal cell carcinoma that had been missed, and I genuinely believe that decision changed my life. As frightening as the diagnosis was, Yelena handled every step with incredible compassion, professionalism, and empathy. She took the time to thoroughly explain my pathology results, walk me through each treatment option, answer every question I had, and ensure I understood exactly what came next. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like she truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient. She also emphasized the importance of routine skin checks moving forward, helping me understand that early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have in preventing serious outcomes. That education has completely changed the way I approach my health. I will always be grateful to Yelena for her expertise, her kindness, and her diligence. She caught what someone else missed, and because of her, I have the opportunity to move forward with treatment early. If you're looking for a dermatology provider who is exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and meticulous, I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin enough. She has earned my trust and gratitude for life.

Yelena came highly recommended by one of my coworkers. Now after two microneedling sessions, I can honestly say that my skin looks smoother and healthier with noticeable improvement.

I finally tried microneedling after seeing coworkers get amazing results. The effect is WOW!! Dr. Terushkin warned me about a couple of days of redness but the results after that are totally worth it.

I just had a cyst removed; it was an amazing experience overall, doctor was kind, gentle and very emphatetic. Did a magnificent job closing me up as well; as I needed stitching and had previous bad experiences on the matter, I am utterly relieved by the craftsmanship. 5/5! I totally recommend

I went for Botox and fillers and she has completely transformed my face in the best way. My forehead is now totally smooth with zero wrinkles, and my jawline looks so much more lifted and defined. She subtly reshaped my whole facial structure without it looking obvious or overdone at all. I still look like me, just a fresher, more rested version. The whole procedure was quick with literally zero discomfort, and her eye for detail is insane. I keep getting compliments and feel so much more confident. If you’re on the fence, just book it, she’s the real deal! 🙌
