Sofwave in Stratham, NH
Sofwave is the next generation of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. As an FDA-cleared treatment, Sofwave is designed to revitalize skin and help combat signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, drooping eyebrows, moderate skin laxity, and cellulite. Its proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB technology aims to address these aging issues by rebuilding collagen within the skin.
How Does Sofwave Work?
Sofwave’s Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology uses ultrasound waves to deliver heat at a precise depth within the skin. When the ultrasound energy penetrates the tissue, it triggers the body’s natural healing process, allowing new, healthy skin cells to grow. Additionally, the ultrasound waves stimulate the increased production of collagen, which is an essential protein for the health and structure of the skin. This collagen stimulation then provides improved structural support combating fine lines, wrinkles cellulite or sagging tissue whereby resulting in healthy lifted, rejuvenated skin.

Sofwave for Face and Neck Tightening
The face and neck are among the most common areas where age-related collagen loss becomes visible. Skin may begin to appear less firm, fine lines may become more noticeable, and the lower face or neck can gradually lose definition.
Sofwave can be used to improve the appearance of mild to moderate laxity while preserving natural facial movement and features. Treatment may help create a smoother, firmer appearance across areas such as the cheeks, lower face, neck, and beneath the chin.
Because Sofwave is non-invasive, patients can typically return to normal daily activities soon after treatment.
Sofwave for the Jawline and Under the Chin
Loss of definition along the jawline is often caused by a combination of skin laxity, collagen loss, and changes in facial structure over time. Even patients who are otherwise happy with their facial appearance may notice increasing softness around the jawline or under the chin.
Sofwave can be used to stimulate collagen in these areas and improve the appearance of lax skin. Over time, this may create a firmer, more defined transition between the lower face, jawline, and neck.
It is important to distinguish loose skin from excess fat beneath the chin. Sofwave primarily targets skin laxity rather than significant fat deposits, so your provider will evaluate the underlying cause before recommending treatment.

What Should I Expect During the Sofwave Procedure?
At your consultation, one of our experienced medical aesthetic providers will create your personalized treatment plan. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to prevent any discomfort; patients are also offered the additional option of Pronox. The area to be treated will be cleaned and a layer of ultrasound gel will be applied. Your provider will then apply the Sofwave handpiece to your skin, where it will begin delivering its SUPERB™ technology to the deeper layers of tissue. You may feel a slight warming sensation, but there shouldn’t be any pain. In total, the treatment session should only take around 60 minutes and you can leave the office immediately once it’s finished.
The Sofwave treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and can be used on various face and body areas.
What Should I Expect After the Sofwave Procedure?
The body’s collagen regeneration process will vary in response to your treatment of Sofwave in Portsmouth or Stratham. Patients are expected to see ongoing improvements in the 3–6-month period post-treatment. You can expect to see noticeable improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and/or cellulite throughout the treatment areas.
Typically, the protocol is only 1 treatment. However, depending on the patient’s skin condition, a 2nd treatment may be recommended. While results can be long-lasting, maintenance will still be required as the body will continue to lose collagen at a steady rate. Most patients need a touch-up within a year, but your provider will work with you to determine the best treatment plan.
Can I Combine Sofwave with Other Procedures?
Sofwave is a non-surgical procedure, therefore you can safely combine it with additional treatments. Botox and Sculptra are commonly paired with Sofwave since they can assist in the reduction of wrinkles in the treated area further and/or elevate the brows.
Your aesthetic provider will help you develop an effective treatment plan and suggest other procedures that can be performed alongside your Sofwave regimen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen-remodeling process. The treatment delivers controlled energy beneath the skin’s surface, helping improve mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of definition without surgery.
At About Face — A Well Labs+ Medspa, Sofwave may be used on areas such as the face, jawline, under the chin, and neck. Because the treatment works by encouraging new collagen production, results develop gradually as the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more supported over time.
Sofwave is commonly used on the face, neck, jawline, brow area, and under the chin to improve skin laxity and reduce fine lines.
Most patients experience only mild warmth or tingling during treatment. A topical numbing cream is typically applied to maximize comfort.
Some improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks, but optimal results typically develop over 2–3 months as new collagen forms.
Results can last up to 12–18 months depending on skin condition, age, and lifestyle, with maintenance treatments recommended for prolonged benefits.
Loose or sagging skin usually develops because the skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin as we age. These proteins help give skin its firmness, strength, and ability to return to its original shape.
Skin laxity may also become more noticeable after significant weight loss, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or other changes that affect the skin’s underlying support structure. Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, under the chin, and neck.
Sofwave is designed to address this loss of support by delivering ultrasound energy at a targeted depth and stimulating collagen remodeling within the treated tissue.
Weight loss can create positive changes in overall health and body composition, but some people are left with loose or less-firm skin afterward. This can be especially noticeable around the lower face, jawline, under the chin, and neck.
For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, Sofwave may provide a non-surgical option for improving skin firmness and definition. The treatment stimulates collagen production without removing skin or requiring surgical incisions.
Sofwave is not a substitute for surgical skin removal when significant excess skin is present. During your consultation, your provider can assess your degree of skin laxity and determine whether Sofwave is appropriate for your goals.
Sofwave may be a good option for adults who are beginning to notice mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, or reduced firmness but do not want surgical treatment.
Good candidates may include patients who:
- Have mild to moderate loose or sagging skin
- Want to improve facial or neck firmness
- Are noticing reduced jawline definition
- Have loose skin following weight loss
- Want a non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Understand that collagen remodeling takes time
Sofwave may not be appropriate for every patient or every degree of skin laxity. A consultation allows your provider to evaluate your skin, medical history, treatment goals, and whether another procedure may produce a better result.
There are several non-surgical approaches to improving skin laxity, and the best treatment depends on your skin, goals, treatment area, and desired recovery time.
Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen beneath the skin without needles or surgical incisions. Other skin tightening procedures may use radiofrequency, microneedling, laser energy, or a combination of technologies.
For example, some treatments are particularly useful when skin laxity occurs alongside concerns such as uneven texture, acne scars, pigmentation, or more significant resurfacing needs. Sofwave may be especially appealing for patients whose primary goal is firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime.
During your consultation at About Face, your provider can compare the available options and recommend a personalized treatment plan rather than assuming one device is right for every concern.
