Why Choose Sofwave™ Skin Tightening?
Sofwave™ is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin deep within the skin. By delivering precise ultrasound energy while protecting the skin’s surface with the integrated Sofcool™ cooling system, Sofwave safely improves skin firmness with typically no downtime.
Patients choose Sofwave because it offers a comfortable, convenient treatment that fits into busy lifestyles. Following treatment, most patients can immediately return to their normal daily activities.
In addition, Sofwave treatment gained FDA approval for the short-term improvement of cellulite in December 2022 and treatment of acne scars in August 2023. Adding another dimension to its effectiveness.

- Firmer, tighter skin

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sofwave?
Sofwave skin tightening is ideal for men and women experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want noticeable facial rejuvenation without surgery or downtime. It is commonly chosen by patients who are beginning to notice fine lines, wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, pockets of cellulite and lax skin on the body, or mild sagging around the brows, jawline, neck, or under the chin.
Because Sofwave is safe for all skin types and requires little to no recovery, it is an excellent option for patients looking for gradual, natural-looking improvements without interrupting their daily routine. During your consultation, Dr. Russo and the Rejuvenis team will determine whether Sofwave is the best treatment for your goals or if another procedure would provide better results.
Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?
Sofwave has an excellent safety profile, but like all aesthetic treatments, temporary side effects are possible. These may include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or slight sensitivity in the treated area, which typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Although rare, there is a small risk of bruising, temporary numbness, or uneven results.
During your consultation, Dr. Russo and the Rejuvenis team will evaluate your skin and medical history to determine whether Sofwave is the right treatment for you and discuss any potential risks based on your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Sofwave cost?
The cost of Sofwave depends on the treatment area, the extent of skin laxity, and whether additional treatments are recommended. During your consultation at Rejuvenis in Champaign-Urbana, Dr. Russo will develop a personalized treatment plan and provide detailed pricing based on your goals.
How long does Sofwave last?
Results from Sofwave can last a year or longer for many patients, although individual results vary depending on age, skin quality, and the natural aging process. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve collagen production and maintain your results.
What does the Sofwave treatment feel like?
During the procedure, you may experience brief sensations of warmth (perceived as a pinprick or rubberband snaps) as the ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the skin. Most patients do not describe this as “painful” or “uncomfortable” and tolerate this procedure very well due to a lack of disruption of the skin barrier and the cooling mechanism inside the handpiece.
Does Sofwave melt fat?
No. Sofwave is designed to stimulate collagen production for skin tightening and lifting. Unlike treatments intended for fat reduction, Sofwave targets the mid-dermis to improve skin firmness while preserving the underlying fat that contributes to natural facial volume.
How many Sofwave treatments do I need?
Many patients achieve noticeable improvement after a single treatment. Depending on your skin condition and desired outcome, Dr. Russo may recommend a second treatment or periodic maintenance sessions to optimize and maintain your results. Older skin makes collagen less efficiently than younger skin.
Sofwave vs. Ultherapy: What is the difference?
Both Sofwave and Ultherapy use ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen, but they target different tissue depths. Sofwave focuses on the mid-dermis using SUPERB™ ultrasound technology to improve skin firmness, fine lines, and wrinkles with little to no downtime. Ultherapy targets deeper tissue layers and is often much more painful in comparison.
When can I expect to see results?
While the collagen regeneration is noticeable as early as 3 weeks, improvement continues for up to 6 months. Many patients start seeing improvements shortly after a single treatment with Sofwave™.
Should I be concerned about any Sofwave side effects?
Sofwave skin tightening treatment is non-invasive and is clinically proven to be safe and effective. Immediately after treatment, some patients may experience some Sofwave side effects, such as slight redness and limited swelling for a few hours. However, these effects are rare and typically short-lived.
