What is it?

Ulthera uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) to create coagulation points in the SMAS fascia layer (4.5mm) and deep dermis (3.0mm), producing a fundamental lift. Sofwave covers the mid-to-upper dermis (about 1.5mm), reinforcing fine lines and texture in the shallow layer that Ulthera doesn't reach. Both devices are ultrasound-based, but their different target depths make them complementary.

Who it's for

  • Moderate or greater sagging combined with loss of superficial firmness
  • Patients who want to improve their jawline and double chin along with fine lines and skin texture
  • Highly engaged patients who want the maximum possible lifting effect
