Sofwave™ Non-Invasive Skin Regeneration uses FDA-cleared SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to lift lax skin under the chin, redefine the jawline, lift eyebrows, and smooth fine lines without surgery or downtime.
By delivering precise ultrasound energy 1.5 mm deep into the mid-dermis, Sofwave™ triggers your body’s natural production of new collagen and elastin which are the essential structural foundation for firm, youthful skin.
In Pasadena and Newport Beach, active coastal lifestyles, sun exposure, and natural aging gradually lead to early skin laxity, loss of jawline definition, and crepey neck tissue.
When these structural changes occur, over-the-counter skincare cannot penetrate deep enough to restore firm tissue. Left untreated, subtle sagging deepens into persistent facial folds and lower-face jowling.
Designed for those seeking noticeable lifting without incisions, needles, or extended recovery, Sofwave™ at Akari MedSpa delivers gradual, natural-looking skin tightening that enhances your natural contours.
At Akari Medspa, Sofwave™ offers a thoughtful answer for clients who want non-surgical rejuvenation with little interruption to life. Sofwave uses FDA-cleared ultrasound technology to improve the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles and to lift the eyebrow, neck, and submental area beneath the chin. The treatment works in the mid-dermis to support your skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Treatments often take about 30 to 45 minutes, and patients can usually return to normal activities right away.
This makes Sofwave a strong fit for clients who want firmer-looking skin without needles, surgery, or a long recovery. Many patients begin with one treatment, then watch results continue to build over the next 12 weeks as the skin responds. A subtle lift may appear sooner, though the fuller collagen response develops gradually.
Sofwave is safe for all skin types and colors, which matters when choosing a skin-tightening treatment in a sun-filled place like Newport Beach.
Sofwave™ utilizes proprietary SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to deliver precise fractional ultrasound energy directly into the mid-dermis at an exact depth of 1.5 mm. By generating targeted 3D thermal coagulation zones without disrupting the skin’s surface or damaging deeper fat layers, this controlled heating initiates a natural cellular healing response that activates fibroblasts to stimulate neocollagenesis (new collagen) and neo-elastogenesis (new elastin) while boosting hyaluronic acid synthesis. Over the following 8 to 12 weeks, this rebuilt extracellular matrix thickens thinning dermal tissue and restores structural elasticity, delivering a firmer, visibly lifted jawline, submental area, and neck.
Sofwave™ works through dermal thermal remodeling rather than surgical excision. By delivering synchronous ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis at an exact depth of 1.5 mm, it stimulates fibroblast activity to synthesize new collagen and elastin, restoring natural tissue density from within.
Treatments typically take 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime or recovery. Initial skin tightness can be felt early on, while full dermal thickening, jawline definition, and subtle submental lifting peak over 8 to 12 weeks.
Patients choose Sofwave™ because it delivers visible skin lifting and tightening without needles, surgical incisions, or altering natural facial features. It is the ideal treatment for individuals seeking to refine early jowling, smooth crepey neck skin, and lift sagging brows without taking time off work.

Here’s what to expect when receiving Sofwave™ treatment in Pasadena or Newport Beach, CA, at Akari Medspa:
Your visit starts with a detailed conversation about your skin, your goals, and what kind of result feels right to you. We look at texture, laxity, facial balance, and timing so your plan makes sense for your life – not just your appointment.
No two faces age in the same way. Your Sofwave treatment plan is shaped around the areas that need support most, whether that is the brow, lower face, neck, or under the chin. We also review comfort, aftercare, and whether Sofwave works best on its own or as part of a larger skin plan.
During treatment, a numbing cream may be applied for comfort. As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel warmth in the skin. The session is efficient and precise, with the goal of stimulating renewal beneath the surface while keeping the outer skin protected.
After your appointment, you can usually return to your day with little to no downtime. Skin can look a bit pink for a short time, though most clients appreciate how easy it is to fit Sofwave into work, errands, lunch plans, or an event-filled week. The best part is what happens next: a gradual, natural-looking improvement as collagen support builds.
Akari MedSpa is led by Isabel “Izzy” Koo, MSN, NP-BC, whose expert clinical approach is rooted in integrity, artistry, and advanced technological precision. Our principle is simple: skin-first care, honest medical guidance, and subtle, natural-looking results that honor your unique anatomy.
By blending advanced medical devices like FDA-cleared Sofwave™ with modern aesthetic principles, we build personalized, non-surgical treatment plans designed for long-term skin health and structural rejuvenation rather than rushed, one-size-fits-all fixes.
For Sofwave™ skin tightening in Newport Beach and Pasadena, that means your care is calm, highly calculated, and tailored to you. Whether you want to lift early jowling, sharpen your jawline, or smooth crepey neck skin, Izzy Koo and the Akari team deliver sophisticated, natural-looking rejuvenation that supports your confidence without looking overdone.
A typical Sofwave™ session at Akari MedSpa takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the specific treatment areas targeted. Because the device utilizes advanced parallel beam ultrasound technology to cover larger surface areas simultaneously, sessions are exceptionally fast, making it easy to schedule during a lunch break.
No, Sofwave™ is a completely non-invasive procedure requiring zero downtime. Patients can immediately return to their normal daily activities, makeup application, and skincare routines right after leaving our Newport Beach or Pasadena locations. You may experience mild, temporary redness for a few hours, but it resolves quickly.
Initial skin tightening and subtle lifting can often be seen soon after treatment as superficial tissue responds. However, the true regenerative process takes time as your body triggers new collagen and elastin production. Optimal, natural-looking results typically develop over 8 to 12 weeks, and because the treatment builds structural tissue from within, results can last for a year or more depending on your natural aging process.
Sofwave™ pricing varies based on the specific areas being treated (such as the brow, full face, submental chin area, or neck) and whether protocols are combined. During your consultation at Akari MedSpa, we provide transparent, customized pricing tailored to your aesthetic goals and target treatment zones.
During a Sofwave™ session, you will feel a warm sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered into the mid-dermis. To ensure complete comfort, Akari MedSpa applies a topical numbing cream prior to the procedure, making the treatment very manageable for almost all patients.
Ideal candidates are adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity—such as early jowling, a soft jawline, low eyebrows, or crepey neck skin—who want a non-surgical lift. Because Sofwave’s SUPERB™ ultrasound technology bypasses the outer skin layer, it is safe and effective for all skin types and tones (Fitzpatrick types I–VI).
Unlike older ultrasound or radiofrequency devices that can risk surface burns or target deeper fat layers unevenly, Sofwave™ uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to focus energy precisely at a 1.5 mm mid-dermal depth. This exact targeting maximizes collagen and elastin production while protecting surrounding tissue, delivering superior lifting results with significantly greater comfort and safety.
If your skin feels a little less firm, a little less lifted, or a little less like you, Sofwave™ may be the next step. Book your consultation with Akari Medspa and discover a refined approach to non-invasive skin regeneration in Newport Beach and Pasadena.
