Have you heard of Softwave? Will it really smooth out wrinkles?
[ If you are curious about what Softwave is, a procedure that is currently very popular in Cheongdam-dong because it combines the advantages of Ulthera and Thermage?]

Firm the structures of the dermis! Softwave precisely targets the root cause of wrinkles.
Approved by the U.S. FDA, Softwave is an ultrasound lifting device that has recently gained popularity as it is free from side effects such as cheek hollowing and sunkening, which were cited as risks of conventional lifting procedures. While conventional ultrasound lifting sequentially generates 1x1mm ultrasound beams to target an area of 3–4.5mm, Softwave simultaneously generates cylindrical ultrasound beams measuring 1.5x4mm thanks to its proprietary Superb technology.
Skin wrinkles are caused by the loss of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis layer of the skin due to aging.
Skin collagen is lost by 1% starting from the mid-20s, and wrinkle improvement can be said to depend on how collagen is generated in the dermis layer of the skin.
· 30s
With the onset of full-scale wrinkle formation, it appears on thin skin areas such as the glabella, bridge of the nose, and forehead.
· 40s
Prominent signs of aging include forehead wrinkles, sagging under the eyes, and fine lines around the eyes.
· 50s
Wrinkles appear on the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, and neck due to a general loss of elasticity.
It improves wrinkles by focusing on the 1.5mm dermis layer, the source of wrinkles.
Softwave utilizes ultrasound to precisely target the upper dermis layer at a depth of 1.5mm to 2.00mm with powerful thermal columns of 60 to 70 degrees. By stimulating collagen production in the dermis, it allows you to expect not only wrinkle improvement ranging from fine lines to deep lines but also tightening and lifting effects.
Conventional Ultrasound (HIFU) Lifting
By concentrating energy through sound waves at a single point at 3~4.5mm to create a hot spot, heat transfer to the middle layer of the dermis is relatively low.
Softwave Lifting
It stimulates the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, by delivering thermal energy of 60–70 degrees at a depth of 1.5mm while maintaining a straight line with the skin, thereby remodeling the skin layers through collagen regeneration and elastin promotion, and helps improve both fine lines and deep wrinkles.
Softwave's exclusive SUPERB technology that reverses skin aging
Strong and tight adhesion to sagging skin without any blind spots!
Softwave performs the procedure by creating 7 thermal columns at a depth of 1.5mm, allowing for treatment of areas ranging from narrow spots such as the cheeks, jaw, eyebrows, and neck wrinkles to wide ranges. It induces the production of new collagen at a depth of 1.5mm in the mid-dermis without causing cheek hollowing, uniformly and powerfully lifting wrinkles and sagging facial lines to tighten them.
Softwave's unique advantages
Accurate energy delivery and skin temperature measurement
Pain Down with Infinity Cooling System
Down on worries about cheek hollowing with Softwave's unique technology
Can also be applied to wrinkles around the eyes and neck.
Procedure safety proven by US FDA approval
Continuous skin elasticity enhancement through collagen production induction
US FDA and European CE approved; effectiveness proven by various studies
Softwave has received FDA approval in recognition of its effectiveness in improving eyebrows and facial wrinkles. According to a study titled "A novel approach to treating fine lines and wrinkles of the face using synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™," wrinkles were significantly improved in 88% of subjects, and no device-related side effects were observed in any of them. Furthermore, no subjects discontinued the study due to severe pain or discomfort. As such, it can be considered a safe procedure.
Recommended for
When delicate lifting is required due to thin skin
If you are concerned about wrinkles in specific areas, such as around the eyes or mouth
If you hesitated to undergo the procedure due to concerns about side effects such as cheek hollowing
If you want to improve your facial lines by restoring elasticity to sagging skin
For those who were hesitant about ultrasound procedures due to having little facial fat
For those concerned about the straight line running down from the corners of the mouth
For those who are afraid of severe pain during a lifting procedure
If you want a lifting procedure with short downtime
caution
Please note these points before and after the procedure!
01
Temporary skin irritation, tightness, or redness may occur. This is a temporary and normal reaction that usually disappears within 72 hours.
02
It is okay to apply makeup immediately after the procedure (mineral-based makeup is preferable).
03
When going out, use a laser-specific sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to prevent sun damage.
04
If the treated skin is slightly red or flushed, please refrain from washing your face or showering with hot water until it subsides.
