At Dr Preema London Clinic, Sofwave is used as part of our regenerative, natural-looking approach to skin rejuvenation and collagen support.

Using advanced ultrasound technology, Sofwave delivers controlled energy into the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen and support firmer, tighter and healthier-looking skin over time — without surgery and with minimal downtime.

Increasingly popular amongst patients seeking subtle, refreshed and natural-looking rejuvenation, Sofwave is commonly used to help improve:

Early skin laxity
Jawline softening
Fine lines and wrinkles
Crepey skin texture
Neck laxity
Brow heaviness
Skin firmness and elasticity

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing approaches, Sofwave focuses on supporting the skin’s own regenerative processes while preserving the skin surface.

What is Sofwave?

Sofwave is an FDA-cleared ultrasound skin tightening treatment designed to stimulate collagen production within the skin.

It uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology to deliver ultrasound energy at the precise depth needed to support collagen remodelling while minimising damage to the outer layers of the skin.

The treatment is commonly chosen by patients looking for:

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation
Natural-looking skin tightening
Preventative ageing support
Jawline and neck tightening
Skin firming without injectables
Minimal downtime skin rejuvenation

Most patients notice gradual improvement in skin firmness and skin quality over the weeks and months following treatment.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy into the mid-dermal tissue, where collagen-rich structures naturally exist within the skin.

This controlled thermal effect helps stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative response and collagen remodelling process over time.

As collagen production naturally declines with age, the skin may gradually begin to appear looser, thinner and less supported. Sofwave works by helping support healthier collagen activity and improved skin structure.

The treatment is designed to:

Support collagen stimulation
Improve skin firmness
Tighten mild-to-moderate skin laxity
Improve fine lines and wrinkles
Support skin elasticity
Refresh overall skin quality

What Does Sofwave Feel Like?

Most patients describe Sofwave as a warm or prickling sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered into the skin.

The treatment is quick, non-surgical and requires minimal downtime. Cooling technology helps support patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Following treatment, the skin may appear mildly pink or warm temporarily, but most patients return to normal activities shortly afterwards.

Some patients notice an early tightening effect following treatment, however collagen remodelling continues gradually over time.

Results typically continue improving over:

6–12 weeks
3–6 months following treatment

As collagen production naturally continues within the skin.

Longevity varies depending on:

Hormonal changes

How Does Sofwave Differ From Other Skin Tightening Treatments?

Minimal downtime
Comfortable treatment experience
Skin surface preservation
Natural-looking results
Regenerative collagen-focused approach

At Dr Preema London Clinic, treatment recommendations are always personalised depending on skin condition, laxity, skin quality and overall treatment goals.

In some cases, Sofwave may be combined with other regenerative treatments as part of a broader personalised treatment plan.

The Dr Preema Method

The Dr Preema Method is a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation by intelligently layering treatments to achieve optimal, long-lasting and natural-looking results. Rather than applying the same treatment to every patient, treatments are selected, combined and timed strategically to support the skin at each stage — enhancing outcomes while prioritising skin health, collagen support and recovery.

Sofwave may be used as a standalone treatment where skin tightening, collagen stimulation and non-surgical rejuvenation are the primary focus. Where additional support is required, Sofwave can also be layered within a bespoke treatment plan:

With Profhilo: Sofwave supports collagen remodelling and skin firmness, while Profhilo improves hydration and skin elasticity. Together, they help support crepey, lax or dehydrated skin whilst maintaining natural-looking results.

With Polynucleotides: Sofwave targets deeper collagen structures to improve firmness and skin laxity, while polynucleotides support skin repair, resilience and regeneration. This combination may help support both skin quality and structural support where needed.

With Sylfirm X: Sofwave supports skin tightening and collagen stimulation, while Sylfirm X targets redness, texture, pores and overall skin quality. Layering these treatments can help optimise skin firmness, tone and rejuvenation outcomes.

With LDM Triple: Sofwave focuses on collagen stimulation and structural skin support, while LDM Triple helps support inflammation reduction, skin recovery and overall skin function. This combination may be particularly beneficial for sensitive, reactive or compromised skin.

With Exosomes: Exosomes may be used alongside Sofwave to help support skin recovery, hydration and regenerative skin function following collagen-stimulating treatments.

By layering treatments in this way — or using Sofwave alone where appropriate — The Dr Preema Method allows treatment plans to be tailored precisely to each patient, ensuring safe, progressive and natural-looking results.
