Sofwave at Skin by Lovely Portland
Sofwave™ is one of the most exciting non-invasive technologies we’ve introduced to our Portland practice. It’s designed to lift, smooth, and strengthen the skin by stimulating collagen at exactly the right depth, without downtime or disruption to your routine.
If you’re noticing early skin laxity, fine lines, or a loss of firmness, Sofwave™ offers a way to create real, visible change while still looking completely natural.
Sofwave™ is an FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that improves fine lines and wrinkles by activating your body’s natural collagen production.
By delivering energy into the mid-dermis, where collagen is formed, it helps rebuild structure within the skin. Over time, this leads to a firmer, smoother, more lifted appearance.
It’s also FDA-cleared for the short-term improvement of cellulite, making it a versatile option for both face and body treatments.
Sofwave™ uses advanced ultrasound technology to target the skin at a precise depth of 1.5mm. This is where collagen regeneration is most effective.
The energy creates controlled heat beneath the surface, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin.
At the same time, an integrated cooling system protects the surface of the skin, keeping the treatment both safe and comfortable.
There are many devices that claim to tighten skin, but very few do it in a way that feels this balanced.
More aggressive treatments can require downtime and come with added risk. On the other end, lighter treatments often require multiple sessions without delivering meaningful change.
Sofwave™ sits in that ideal middle ground. It’s powerful enough to stimulate true collagen remodeling, while still being gentle enough to fit easily into your lifestyle.
It’s also safe for all skin types, which is something we always prioritize when selecting new technology.
Sofwave™ can be customized to treat:
Your provider will guide you toward the right treatment plan based on your anatomy and goals.
Appointments are simple and efficient, typically lasting about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area.
A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and during treatment you’ll feel a warm sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Most patients find it very manageable.
After your appointment, you can return to your normal routine right away. There’s no downtime, which makes this an easy treatment to fit into even the busiest schedules.
Sofwave™ works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, so results develop gradually.
You may begin to notice improvement within a few weeks, with continued changes over the following 12 weeks as collagen builds.
While some patients see beautiful results after one session, we typically recommend a series of 2 treatments for optimal outcomes and longer-lasting improvement.
At Skin by Lovely, we rarely think about treatments in isolation.
Sofwave™ is an incredible way to improve skin firmness and quality, but the most refined results often come from combining it with other treatments. This might include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing depending on your goals.
We approach every treatment plan holistically so that your results feel balanced, natural, and long-lasting.
Sofwave™ is currently offered exclusively at our Portland location.
While some patients see improvement after a single treatment, we typically recommend a minimum of 2 treatments for the best results. A series allows us to build collagen more effectively and create a more noticeable, longer-lasting outcome.
Sofwave™ works by stimulating collagen, so results appear gradually. Many patients begin to notice changes within a few weeks, with continued improvement over the next 12 weeks as collagen production increases.
During treatment, you’ll feel a warm sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered into the skin. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable, and most patients tolerate the treatment very well.
There is no downtime with Sofwave™. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment. Some patients experience mild redness or slight swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours.
Sofwave™ has an excellent safety profile. The most common side effects are mild redness or slight swelling immediately after treatment, both of which are temporary.
Sofwave™ delivers energy at a very precise depth where collagen production is most effective, while simultaneously protecting the surface of the skin. This allows for meaningful collagen stimulation without the downtime often associated with more aggressive treatments.
Yes. Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types, which makes it a great option for a wide range of patients.
Absolutely. In fact, we often recommend combining Sofwave™ with treatments like Botox®, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing facials to create more comprehensive and balanced results.
Sofwave™ is commonly used on the face and neck, including the brow, jawline, and lower face. It can also be used on certain body areas, including for the temporary improvement of cellulite.
We offer flexible payment options to make treatment more accessible, including Cherry Financing and Alle payment plans. We also offer package pricing when treatments are purchased in a series of 2, which we typically recommend for optimal results.
Sofwave™ is currently available exclusively at our Skin by Lovely Portland location. Our team there has been specially trained in this technology to ensure safe, personalized, and results-driven treatments.
If you’re new to Skin by Lovely or unsure which treatment is right for you, we recommend starting with a consultation. If you’re already an established patient, our team can help guide you toward the appropriate Sofwave™ treatment when booking.
All Sofwave™ treatments are performed by highly trained medical providers at Skin by Lovely. Our team is known for their attention to detail and ability to create natural, refined results.
We recommend arriving with clean skin and avoiding heavy skincare or makeup on the treatment area. Our team will go over everything with you beforehand to ensure you feel fully prepared and comfortable.
We take a thoughtful, individualized approach to every treatment. Rather than focusing on one service at a time, we look at your skin as a whole and build a plan that creates balanced, natural-looking results over time.
