At McLean Dermatology, we’re excited to introduce our newest non-invasive treatment—Skin Tight for loose skin using Sofwave™ technology. This cutting-edge ultrasound treatment is designed to provide noticeable results without surgery or downtime. Skin Tight is the perfect solution for you if you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lift sagging skin, or improve the appearance of cellulite and skin laxity.
Sofwave™is an FDA cleared, non-invasive treatment of fine lines and wrinkles using a next generation SUPERB™ Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology. In December 2022 Sofwave™ was approved by FDA for the short-term improvement of cellulite, making it another viable option for cellulite.
The fractional heating effect created by Sofwave’s unique ultrasound delivery stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

How Sofwave™ Works
Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to penetrate the skin’s deeper layers. The targeted energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. These are essential proteins that help maintain skin structure and firmness. The treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and requires no recovery time. It’s the perfect option for busy individuals looking for effective, natural-looking results.
What to Expect
The procedure is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. During the session, a handheld device delivers precise ultrasound energy to targeted areas.
Most patients experience a warm, tingling sensation as the energy reaches the deeper skin layers.
Typically, treatments last between 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the treated area.
A topical anesthetic cream may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort. Afterward, no special skin care is required, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately.
Most patients need 1 to 2 treatments depending on their skin’s condition and desired results.
When Can I Expect To See Results?
The collagen regeneration process takes time, usually up to 12 weeks. However, some patients notice improvements even sooner. In clinical trials, many saw results after just one Sofwave™ treatment. Expect to see ongoing improvements throughout the three months following your session.
