Ultherapy delivers energy down to the SMAS layer at depths of 3.0–4.5 mm for powerful lifting. Sofwave creates seven thermal columns in the 1.5 mm dermal layer, making it suitable for those who want safe lifting without the risk of hollow cheeks. The two treatments are complementary, and the best choice depends on skin condition.
Next-Gen Lifting
Sofwave
The latest premium lifting treatment that creates seven thermal columns at a depth of 1.5 mm.
Experience safe lifting results without concerns about hollow cheeks, even if you have a slim face or thin skin.
CORE TECHNOLOGY
1.5 mm Depth, Seven Thermal Columns
Sofwave uses patented SUPERB™ technology to create exactly seven microscopic thermal columns at a depth of 1.5 mm in the skin. By protecting the epidermis while delivering focused energy only to the dermal layer, it enables effective collagen remodeling without the deep energy delivery used in conventional ultrasound lifting.
It creates seven precise columns of thermal energy only in the 1.5 mm dermal layer without damaging the epidermis. This precise energy delivery stimulates the natural regeneration of collagen and elastin, enabling safe and effective lifting.
ADVANTAGES
Why Sofwave Is Special
NO VOLUME LOSS
Safe Lifting Without Hollow Cheeks
Because it works at the shallow depth of 1.5 mm, it does not affect the fat layer beneath the SMAS layer. Even those who have experienced hollow cheeks after conventional ultrasound lifting can receive the treatment with confidence.
THIN SKIN SAFE
Safe for Thin Skin
It is safe even for those with thin skin or little facial volume. Rather than delivering energy deep into the tissue, it focuses on stimulating the dermal layer itself to restore elasticity.
MINIMAL PAIN
Less Pain Than Conventional Lifting
Because energy is delivered only to a depth of 1.5 mm, discomfort is significantly lower than with conventional ultrasound lifting. The treatment can often be performed without anesthesia.
ZERO DOWNTIME
Zero Downtime
The epidermal protection technology, Sofcool™, cools the skin surface in real time to help prevent the risk of burns. You can return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

WHY THE OTHER
Sofwave, Why The Other Dermatology
Customized Energy Design by Skin Type
Even with the same Sofwave treatment, energy settings should vary according to skin thickness and condition. The Other Dermatology designs energy settings optimized for each patient’s skin through a pre-treatment analysis.
Specialized Consultation for Hollow-Cheek Concerns
We carefully analyze the condition of patients who have experienced hollow cheeks after previous lifting treatments and set a safe treatment range. We are committed to safe lifting without recurrence.
Full Lineup of Lifting Devices
We offer not only Sofwave, but also major lifting devices such as Ultherapy, Thermage, and Onda, allowing us to recommend the treatment best suited to each patient’s condition.
Performed Directly by a Dermatologist
Results from energy-based devices vary depending on who performs the treatment and how it is performed. A dermatologist personally performs the treatment from start to finish.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it really not cause hollow cheeks?
Sofwave works only at a depth of 1.5 mm, so it does not affect the fat layer. Hollow cheeks usually occur when deeper energy damages the fat layer, and structurally this issue does not occur at Sofwave’s treatment depth.
When do the results begin to appear?
You may feel slight immediate tightening right after treatment, and results gradually appear over 4–12 weeks as collagen regeneration becomes more active. Maximum results can usually be seen after about three months.
How long does the treatment take?
A full-face treatment takes about 30–45 minutes. Since discomfort is minimal and separate anesthesia time is usually unnecessary, the overall visit time is also short.
