SOFWAVE SKIN TIGHTENING
in Fort Wayne, IN
in Fort Wayne, IN
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness in Fort Wayne, IN, we are the only practice in the area to offer SofWave, a non-surgical treatment that helps patients tighten, lift, and refresh their appearance. This FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment utilizes advanced ultrasound energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin in the treatment area for firmer, smoother skin.
SofWave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology to deliver energy into the mid-dermal tissue. This ultrasound energy heats the tissue to trigger your skin’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen and elastin production over time.
Unlike treatments that target deeper layers or require aggressive resurfacing, SofWave focuses on the mid-dermis to tighten the skin’s surface and reduce fine lines without damaging surrounding tissues. It’s FDA-cleared to improve facial lines and skin laxity on the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Your experience begins with a consultation to review your goals and determine if SofWave is right for you. On treatment day, we cleanse your skin and apply a gel to help the device glide smoothly.
As the handheld device moves over your skin, it delivers ultrasound energy in precise pulses. You’ll feel warmth and mild tingling as the energy reaches the mid-dermal tissue, while the integrated cooling mechanism keeps the skin’s surface comfortable and protected. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable.
A typical session lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on treatment areas. Because it’s a non-invasive treatment, you can return to normal activities immediately afterwards.
SofWave is clinically proven to improve:
Reducing fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead for a smoother look.
Tightening mild to moderate sagging on the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Stimulating collagen production and elastin production to improve firmness and elasticity.
Enhancing texture and strength for refreshed, youthful-looking skin.
While SofWave is primarily used for tightening, it may improve mild acne scars by stimulating collagen remodeling.
Patients love SofWave because it offers:
Uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam for effective collagen stimulation.
Return to work, errands, and social activities the same day.
Ideal for busy schedules.
Effective and safe on both lighter and darker skin tones.
Enhances your own features without changing how you look.

SofWave is ideal for women and men seeking to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and facial lines without surgery. You may be a candidate if you:
SofWave may not be suitable if you have severe laxity requiring surgical lifting or if you have implanted electronic devices like pacemakers. We’ll review your medical history thoroughly to ensure your safety and best results.
One of SofWave’s advantages is its minimal recovery. After your treatment, you may notice slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can immediately resume your daily skincare routine, including products with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and protect your skin, and continue wearing sunscreen to maintain results.
Most patients begin to see early tightening within a week or two. Full results develop gradually over three months as your body builds new collagen and elastin in response to the treatment. Your skin will look firmer, smoother, and refreshed with results lasting up to 12 months or longer, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and lifestyle habits.
Annual maintenance treatments are recommended to keep collagen production active and maintain your lifted results.
