As we age, changes in our skin are inevitable. Firmness softens, collagen declines, and areas like the jawline, neck and cheeks can begin to lose definition. Over the years, I’ve seen countless treatments come and go — some overpromising and underdelivering.
That’s why I’m very selective about the technology we bring into NBSkin.
Sofwave skin tightening is one of the few non-invasive treatments I genuinely believe delivers impressive, natural-looking results without surgery, needles or lengthy downtime. It’s advanced, clinically proven technology that works with your skin, stimulating your body’s own collagen production to create firmer, healthier-looking skin over time.
What also sets Sofwave apart is the strength of the clinical research behind it. The technology has been supported by multiple medical studies and is widely recognised by leading cosmetic physicians and plastic surgeons around the world for its safety profile, consistent outcomes and ability to deliver skin tightening without creating an overdone appearance.
Today, Sofwave has been performed safely in hundreds of thousands of treatments worldwide and continues to grow rapidly as one of the most trusted non-invasive skin tightening technologies available.
Importantly, the Sofwave ultrasonic skin contouring system is registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) with ARTG Number 355305, providing additional confidence in the device’s regulatory compliance and use within Australia.
At NBSkin in East Fremantle, we combine this technology with personalised treatment planning and professional medical grade skincare to achieve results that are not only visible, but long lasting.
What Is Sofwave?
Sofwave is a next-generation skin tightening treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin deep within the skin, all without damaging the surface.
One of the reasons I love this treatment is that it’s effective while still being incredibly gentle on the skin.
Unlike older technologies, Sofwave delivers precise ultrasound energy at the ideal depth where collagen production occurs. This controlled heat response encourages the skin to repair and rebuild itself naturally, improving firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality over the following weeks and months.
Sofwave uses proprietary S.U.P.E.R.B.™ ultrasound technology (Superficial Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology) to target the mid-dermis, where collagen production is most effectively stimulated, while protecting the surface of the skin with integrated cooling.
Importantly, Sofwave is very different to traditional HIFU technologies. While some HIFU treatments target deeper layers including fat, Sofwave works more superficially within the skin where collagen stimulation occurs. This means the treatment is designed to tighten and rejuvenate the skin without unwanted facial fat loss or hollowing — something many patients and practitioners are increasingly cautious about with older ultrasound devices.
This is one of the reasons Sofwave has become a preferred treatment amongst many plastic surgeons and leading aesthetic practitioners worldwide who want natural-looking rejuvenation while preserving facial structure and softness.
The technology is also backed by extensive clinical research and has now been performed safely in hundreds of thousands of treatments globally, establishing a strong reputation for both safety and results.
In Australia, the Sofwave ultrasonic skin contouring system is included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG Number 355305).
Sofwave has also received significant international recognition and has been featured in multiple leading beauty and aesthetics awards, including:
-
ELLE Magazine Tools and Treatments Awards 2024
-
TZR Beauty Awards 2024 — Best Firming Treatment
-
Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award
-
Safety in Beauty Diamond Award
-
NewBeauty Awards
…along with many other global industry recognitions highlighting the technology’s innovation, safety and treatment outcomes.
The treatment is comfortable, non-invasive and requires no downtime, which makes it ideal for busy clients who want real results without interrupting their lifestyle.
What Can Sofwave Treat?
Sofwave is an excellent treatment for clients wanting to address:
-
Loose or sagging skin around the jawline and jowls
-
Crepey skin and laxity on the neck
-
Drooping brows or heaviness around the eye area
-
Loss of firmness through the cheeks and mid-face
-
Fine lines and skin texture concerns
-
Skin laxity on areas of the body including the arms, décolletage and knees
-
Ageing skin on the hands, which has recently become another approved treatment area for Sofwave
One of the biggest advantages of Sofwave is that results develop naturally over time. Your skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother and more lifted as new collagen forms.
It’s also suitable for all skin types and tones, which is incredibly important when choosing safe and effective skin treatments.
The Science and Safety Behind Sofwave
One of the reasons Sofwave has gained such a strong reputation globally is because of the level of clinical research supporting the technology.
Sofwave uses proprietary S.U.P.E.R.B.™ ultrasound technology to deliver controlled energy into the mid-dermis at a precise depth of approximately 1.5mm, where collagen production is most effectively stimulated. At the same time, the device incorporates an integrated cooling system to protect the outer skin surface and maintain comfort during treatment.
The treatment has been studied extensively in clinical settings and has demonstrated strong safety and efficacy outcomes for skin tightening and lifting.
The Sofwave ultrasonic skin contouring system is also registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG Number 355305), supporting its use within Australian clinical settings.
For many practitioners, including plastic surgeons, this combination of evidence-based results, patient comfort, minimal downtime and preservation of natural facial volume is what makes Sofwave stand out from many older skin tightening devices.
What to Expect From Your Treatment
A Sofwave treatment usually takes between 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.
Most clients describe the sensation as a feeling of warmth moving through the skin. There’s no need for significant recovery time, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterwards.
Results appear progressively over the following 8–12 weeks as collagen renewal takes place beneath the skin. Many clients continue to notice improvement well beyond this point as the skin continues to remodel and strengthen naturally.
Why Clients Choose NBSkin for Sofwave
After more than 45 years in the aesthetics industry, I believe experience matters.
Every face, every skin condition and every ageing concern is different. There is never a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to achieving beautiful, natural results.
At NBSkin, every treatment plan is carefully tailored to the individual. Sofwave is just one of several advanced technologies we offer, alongside treatments such as HIFU and NeoGen, allowing us to choose the most appropriate option for your skin rather than forcing a single treatment onto everyone.
Over the years, I’ve trained internationally, worked alongside world-leading doctors and practitioners, and educated other professionals in advanced skin treatments. But the most important thing I’ve learned is that clients want honest advice, realistic expectations and treatments that truly support healthy skin long term.
That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do at NBSkin.
Why Medical Grade Skincare Matters
Professional in-clinic treatments can achieve incredible results, but what you use on your skin at home plays a huge role in maintaining and enhancing those results.
This is where medical grade skincare becomes essential.
Unlike many over-the-counter products, medical grade skincare contains higher levels of active ingredients that are designed to work deeply within the skin and create real cellular change.
At NBSkin, we carefully select skincare ranges that support skin health without compromising the skin barrier.
