Sofwave™ Skin Tightening in NYC
Non-invasive ultrasound technology for firmer, smoother skin
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to improve skin laxity and early signs of aging by stimulating collagen production within the dermis. Using precisely controlled energy delivered about 1.5 mm beneath the skin’s surface, it works to thicken, tighten, and smooth the skin without affecting deeper tissues or facial fat. This makes Sofwave an effective solution for treating mild to moderate sagging, fine lines, and loss of skin firmness on the face and body, helping restore a more lifted, youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.

How Sofwave™ Works
Learn More About Sofwave™
Sofwave is well-suited for individuals who are beginning to notice mild to moderate skin laxity and want improvement without surgery.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have early skin laxity along the face, jawline, neck, or body
- Want to improve skin firmness and texture
- Prefer a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime
- Want to maintain facial volume while tightening the skin
- Are looking for a safe, FDA-approved solution suitable for all skin types
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and determine whether Sofwave is appropriate on its own or as part of a broader treatment plan.
Sofwave utilizes SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to deliver focused ultrasound energy into the dermis with exceptional precision.
This technology:
- Targets the dermis at a depth of approximately 1.5 mm
- Stimulates fibroblast activity to increase collagen production
- Contracts existing collagen fibers for an immediate tightening effect
- Preserves deeper tissues, including fat, to maintain natural contours
- Incorporates cooling mechanisms to enhance comfort during treatment
At Rapaport Plastic Surgery, treatment effectiveness is not assumed, it is measured. Ultrasound imaging may be used to assess dermal thickness following treatment, helping guide whether additional sessions would further optimize your results.
Your Sofwave experience is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and personalized.
