FAQ
How does Sofwave™ work?
Our patented Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology, with integrated cooling, Sofcool™, delivers precise and controlled ultrasound energy directly to the mid-dermis while ensuring no damage to the epidermis or the underlying structures.
Our SUPERB™ technology addresses all essential criteria for controlled treatment of skin laxity:
- Depth of Target Tissue: the thermal effect is localized between 0.5 and 2 mm, centered at 1.5mm.
- Time and Temperature at the Target Tissue: Optimal dermal stimulation is achieved by heating the dermis to 60-70°C for 4-5 seconds on each pulse.
- Volumetric and Directional Tissue Coverage: Unique multiple geometric 3D cylindrical-shaped thermal zones parallel to the skin surface.
- Target Tissue Response: Unique tissue remodeling of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
- Safety: Sofcool™ active integrated cooling with real-time skin temperature monitoring to enhance treatment comfort and ensure safety.

Is the treatment safe for all skin types?
YES. Ultrasound absorption is determined by tissue’s microscopic and bulk mechanical properties and is independent of skin color or pigmentation.
How is Sofwave™ different from other existing modalities?
Sofwave’s SUPERB™ ultrasound technology is FDA-cleared to address various facial and body aesthetic concerns. Sofwave is scientifically demonstrated to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and maximizes treatment efficacy with high volumetric dermal coverage. Completely non-invasive, controlled thermal injury at a precise depth with minimal to no downtime, Sofwave is a safe and effective treatment suitable for all skin types, year-round, and with no aftercare.
From a business perspective, how does Sofwave™ compare to other existing modalities?
Sofwave™ presents a substantial business opportunity. The system is simple to operate and highly intuitive, which makes it entirely delegable to the staff. Sofwave delivers a fast treatment due to its unique simultaneous energy delivery and large handpiece coverage. As a result, a full-face treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Sofwave’s SUPERB™ technology is safe and effective for all skin types, expanding your market reach. Sofwave™ is sun-safe, allowing continuous client flow irrespective of the season.
What proof do you have that it works?
Yes! Sofwave™ has seven FDA clearances and a robust clinical evidence foundation demonstrating its safety and efficacy.
- Extensive Studies: Over 600 subjects have participated in 15 clinical studies, which have led to seven FDA clearances for various aesthetic applications.
- Proven Effectiveness: Blinded-controlled clinical studies by leading US dermatologists confirmed Sofwave’s effectiveness, with results maintained for up to 12 months.
- Excellent Safety Profile: Clinical testing has shown no bruising, ulceration, skin pigmentation changes, or device-related adverse events. The non-invasive treatment requires no skin penetration and allows for an immediate return to normal activities.
Is the Sofwave™ treatment painful?
Sofwave™ treatments are generally well-tolerated. Patients typically report a warming sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered. During the treatment, our proprietary Sofcool™ integrated cooling system with real-time skin temperature monitoring enhances treatment comfort and ensures safety. Energy levels can also be adjusted throughout the session to ensure patient comfort. A topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. There is minimal post-treatment downtime, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately.
What is the recommended number of sessions for optimal results? How far apart should the sessions be scheduled?
Most patients achieve significant results with a single Sofwave treatment for wrinkles, fine lines, and lifting the eyebrow, submental, and neck. However, additional sessions may enhance outcomes based on factors like patient age, skin condition, and clinical goals. Sofwave’s dedicated protocols address each FDA-cleared indication, and some protocols may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. Providers should tailor treatment plans to each patient’s specific needs.
What is the Service policy?
Sofwave™ Medical provides depot and loaner service support for its products. A toll-free technical support phone line is available to assist and facilitate customer support.
Does Sofwave cause fat loss?
No, Sofwave does not cause fat loss.
Sofwave’s unique Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology delivers ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis at 1.5 mm. This effectively targets the dermal layer (typically 1-2 mm thick), stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. By design, Sofwave avoids the subcutaneous fat layer, which typically begins at 3mm, ensuring no impact on fat.

How does PureImpact VIP enable continuous muscle progression?
PureImpact VIP is designed around continuous muscle progression by varying how muscles are engaged over time, rather than repeating the same contraction. Using PlyoPulse™ technology, it delivers 3-directional muscle stimulation that reflects functional movement patterns, helping keep muscles responsive and challenged across sessions. This approach supports strength, regeneration and longevity over time and is intended for program-based use, not one-time treatments.
How long does a typical PureImpact VIP™ session last, and how many sessions are typically needed for visible results?
- Each treatment session lasts 30 minutes. Recommended 4 bi-weekly sessions (twice a week).
- Maintenance treatments are recommended every 2-3 months. A long-term healthy lifestyle is required for the maintenance of the results
How does PureImpact VIP™ ensure consistent and effective treatment outcomes?
PureImpact VIP™ employs diverse muscle activation techniques to stimulate different muscle groups and promote overall muscle engagement to maximize the muscle response, enhance muscle endurance, improve muscle tone, promote balanced muscle development, and improve core stability.
How soon can patients expect results from PureImpact VIP™ treatments?
Immediately following treatment, the patient may feel mild muscle contractions in response to their treatment. Following four bi-weekly sessions (twice a week), the patient will notice an improvement in muscle toning, strengthening of the muscles, and firming.
How does PureImpact VIP™ differ from other muscle-toning technologies?
Sofwave™ is the leader in superior non-invasive energy-based solutions with clinically and scientifically demonstrated technologies to improve skin laxity, lift, and tone. PureImpact VIP™ offers several distinct advantages that set it apart:
- Versatile Muscle Activation: It employs various stimulation techniques to effectively engage different muscle groups, maximizing muscle response and promoting balanced muscle development. This leads to improved muscle tone, enhanced endurance, and increased core stability.
- Targeted Treatments: Pure Impact™ allows practitioners to precisely target specific muscles and tailor treatment protocols to individual patient needs and goals.
- Efficiency: The ability to treat four areas simultaneously optimizes treatment time and enhances patient convenience.
