NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING · PORTLAND
Sofwave™ is one of the most exciting non-invasive technologies we’ve brought to our Portland practice. It uses advanced ultrasound to rebuild collagen at exactly the right depth, lifting, smoothing, and firming the skin with no surgery and no downtime.
If you’re noticing early laxity, fine lines, or a loss of firmness, Sofwave™ creates real, visible change while keeping your results completely natural.
Sofwave™ delivers ultrasound energy to a precise depth of 1.5mm, the layer where collagen forms. The energy creates controlled heat that triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin. A built-in cooling system runs throughout the treatment to protect the surface of your skin and manage the heat you feel.
Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared to lift and firm the brows, jawline, neck, and under the chin, and to soften fine lines and wrinkles across the face. It’s also cleared for the short-term improvement of cellulite, so it works for both face and body. Common treatment areas include the full face, face and neck, neck alone, lower face, a brow lift, and select body areas. Your provider builds the right plan around your anatomy and goals.
If you’ve been looking into non-surgical skin tightening, you’ve likely come across Ultherapy® and Thermage®. All three stimulate your body’s own collagen, but they work differently. Sofwave™ uses ultrasound at a precise, consistent depth to firm the mid-dermis, with quick 30 to 45 minute sessions and no downtime, ideal for early to moderate laxity and fine lines. Ultherapy® uses deeper focused ultrasound to reach the foundational layers of the face and can address more advanced sagging. Thermage® uses radiofrequency rather than ultrasound and is often chosen for larger body areas and overall texture.
During your consultation, our Portland team will help you understand which approach fits your skin, your goals, and your comfort level.
Many devices claim to tighten skin; few do it this precisely. More aggressive treatments require downtime and added risk, while lighter ones need many sessions without meaningful change. Sofwave™ sits in the ideal middle, powerful enough for true collagen remodeling, with no downtime, and safe for all skin types and tones. And because we rarely think about treatments in isolation, we often pair Sofwave™ with wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, or resurfacing for results that feel balanced, natural, and lasting.
Full face, face and neck, neck alone, lower face, a brow lift, and select body areas. Your provider guides you to the right plan based on your anatomy and goals.
Because it stimulates your own collagen, results develop gradually. Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks, with continued change over the next 12 weeks. We typically recommend a series of two treatments for the most complete, lasting outcome.
We rarely think about treatments in isolation. The most refined results often come from combining Sofwave™ with wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing, depending on your goals.

While some patients see improvement after a single treatment, we typically recommend a minimum of 2 treatments for the best results. A series builds collagen more effectively and creates a more noticeable, longer-lasting outcome.
Results appear gradually as collagen rebuilds. Many patients notice changes within a few weeks, with continued improvement over the following 12 weeks.
Most patients feel a warm-to-hot sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered, and some find it intense. Our cooling system runs throughout to manage the heat, and because sessions are short, any discomfort is brief. Your provider will check in with you throughout.
None. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some patients have mild redness or slight swelling that typically resolves within a few hours.
