Sofwave Skin Tightening: The Celebrity-Favorite Treatment for Lifted, Youthful Skin

Sofwave is a revolutionary non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Khloé are raving about it for its ability to lift, firm, and tone the skin—with zero downtime.

Sofwave Stimulates Collagen Naturally

Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy at a depth of 1.5 mm, heating the skin’s dermis without affecting the surface. This thermal stimulation activates your body’s natural healing response—leading to gradual production of new collagen and elastin.

It’s a clinically proven treatment for:

  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Sagging skin on the face, neck, and body
  • Acne scarring
  • Cellulite smoothing
  • Skin laxity on arms, abdomen, thighs & knees

How Does Sofwave Work?

Over the next few weeks and months, your body naturally produces new collagen and elastin, leading to visibly firmer, smoother, and lifted skin.

  • Lifts sagging skin on face, neck, and body
  • Smooths fine lines, acne scars, and cellulite
  • One quick session—30 to 45 minutes
  • Works on all skin tones
  • No needles. No surgery. No downtime.

During treatment:

  • A handheld device is gently moved over your skin.
  • You may feel mild warmth, but it’s very tolerable.
  • The treatment lasts about 30–45 minutes depending on the area.
  • There’s zero downtime—you can return to work, workouts, or other plans immediately!

Is Sofwave painful?

Most patients experience only mild warmth, and numbing cream can be used if needed.

How many Sofwave treatments will I need?

Many patients see results with just one session; some may need two sessions for optimal lift.

Can Sofwave be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Sofwave can be combined with dermal filler, microneedling, or facials for full-face rejuvenation. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

How long do results last and what’s the maintenance?

Your results vary by area: lips (3-4 months), cheeks and mid-face (6-12 months). We’ll create a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Sofwave treatments are available at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa in Chicago’s River North neighborhood—your go-to for all your skincare and beauty needs.

I have been coming to Carol for over 20 years, and that longevity truly speaks for itself. I continue to see her because she is incredibly educated, highly skilled, and genuinely listens to what you want and need. She takes the time to understand your goals and creates a plan that enhances your natural features in a way that feels authentic and balanced. Her work is beautiful, and refined. The results are always natural and confidence boosting. Beyond her talent, I trust her completely. After two decades, I can confidently say she is consistent, professional, and truly cares about her patients. If you're looking for perfection, Carol is definitely the person you should see! Highly recommended!

New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back! The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!

Carol has been doing my Botox for the last few years. She is kind, easy to talk to, makes herself available and approachable! Always feel at ease when I come see her and she does great work, goes by so fast, we are always done before I even know it. Highly recommend visiting her.

I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol.

I had an amazing experience with my Moxi laser treatment with Stephanie! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She thoroughly explained what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and gave me clear, detailed instructions for caring for my skin at home. I truly felt cared for throughout the entire experience and am so excited to see my results! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering Moxi or any other service.
