Softwave Bangkok offers a doctor-led, non-surgical skin-lifting program using Sofwave™ SUPERB™ parallel-beam ultrasound. Seven beams deliver controlled warmth into the mid-dermis while the skin surface is actively cooled — to help the brow, jawline and neck appear firmer. Every plan begins with a personal doctor assessment.
Non-surgical · Temporary redness or swelling can occur · Individual results vary and are assessed case by case
Assessment, treatment planning and follow-up by the medical team.
Many clients resume daily activities, though temporary redness, swelling or warmth can occur.
The Sofwave program is available at all Softwave Bangkok locations.
The doctor explains what Sofwave can realistically achieve before you decide.
Sofwave uses SUPERB™ — Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam technology. Warmth is delivered to the mid-dermis at a consistent depth, helping skin look firmer and smoother over time — without surgery.
01 Energy
SUPERB™ · Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam
Seven ultrasound transducers in the applicator fire at the same time. Each pulse creates a row of cylindrical thermal zones parallel to the skin surface, with untreated tissue left between them. The glowing columns are a visual guide, not a measured energy map.
02 Depth
A fixed 1.5 mm target
Energy is directed to a fixed depth of about 1.5 mm — the mid-dermis, where collagen and elastin fibres sit — with the thermal effect localised between about 0.5 and 2 mm. Because the applicator sets the depth, no imaging-guided depth selection is required.
03 Cooling
Sofcool™ integrated cooling
Integrated real-time surface cooling (Sofcool™) helps protect the epidermis and support comfort throughout each pulse, while skin temperature is monitored. The turquoise layer represents that cooling; it does not mean the treatment is painless.
04 Response
A response that develops over time
Over the following weeks the skin's natural remodelling response may help it appear firmer, with fine lines looking softer. Clinical studies have reported visible lower-face improvement from about one month, and denser elastic fibres with reorganised collagen in the mid-dermis on biopsy.23
The SUPERB™ applicator fires seven ultrasound transducers at once, so each pulse treats a strip of skin rather than a single point.
Sofwave reports heating the mid-dermis to 60–70 °C for 4–5 seconds on each pulse, in cylindrical zones with untreated tissue between them.
Sofwave reports about 30–45 minutes for a full face. A topical numbing cream may be applied first if the doctor recommends it.
Clinical studies assessed results at three months. The skin’s response develops over weeks, and individual results vary.
In the United States, the SofWave System is FDA-cleared as a non-invasive treatment to improve facial lines and wrinkles, lift the eyebrow, and lift lax submental (beneath the chin) and neck tissue in adults aged 22 and over.1 Contact the clinic for the Sofwave device’s Thai FDA registration details.
Two published analyses of the US pivotal trial measured brow and under-chin lift on standardised photographs, 12 weeks after a single treatment.4 These are study results, not Softwave Bangkok client outcomes — individual results vary.

The doctor plans pulse count and coverage for each area — the same program, tailored to very different zones.

Helps lax skin along the cheeks and jaw look lifted, making the facial frame appear more defined — without surgery.

Lax submental skin may be included in the treatment plan, following the doctor's assessment.

For crepey or mildly lax neck skin, often planned together with facial lifting when appropriate.

Helps the brow look lifted and fine lines around delicate zones appear softer.

Skin may look smoother, denser and firmer — gradually, as it responds.

The doctor can assess upper-arm skin concerns and explain whether a Sofwave treatment plan is appropriate.
A full-face session usually takes 30–45 minutes, with the full visit around an hour. Results develop gradually rather than instantly, and vary from person to person.

Skin condition, facial structure, previous procedures and precautions are reviewed before any plan is confirmed.
The doctor selects treatment areas and pulse count for your goals, or recommends a more suitable option where appropriate.
Skin is cleansed and gel applied, then energy is delivered with integrated Sofcool™ cooling. Most clients feel brief deep warmth with each pulse; topical numbing is usually not required.
Many clients resume daily activities the same day, though temporary redness, swelling or warmth can occur. Use moisturiser and daily sunscreen. Early changes may begin within the first month.
The doctor reviews how your skin has responded and advises whether another session or future maintenance suits your goals. Contact the clinic at any time if a reaction does not settle as expected.
Sofwave suits certain skin conditions and goals better than others. The doctor confirms whether it's right for you during your consultation.

From the first consultation to follow-up — these are the moments clients chose to share about their Sofwave program.

I was concerned about a less defined jawline and skin that felt less firm. Sofwave felt like a good fit for what I wanted, and I didn’t find the treatment painful. I chose Privato Clinic because I was impressed by the service and felt I could trust the doctor and the technology.

Even with a good skincare routine, firmness and wrinkles can still be concerns. After trying Sofwave, my skin felt firmer, and I appreciated how carefully the doctor worked on the areas that bothered me. In my experience, the treatment wasn’t painful, and I had no redness or swelling afterward. I didn’t need any downtime.

My main concerns were my jawline and the area under my chin. I wanted a lift without losing the fullness of my cheeks. The session felt quick, and I didn’t feel pain or a snapping sensation on my skin. I was impressed by both Sofwave and the care at Privato Clinic, and I’d happily come back for another session.

I appreciated the doctor’s detailed assessment before my Sofwave session at Privato Clinic. Our conversation helped me understand the treatment much better. I used to think skin firming was something I could leave until later, but now Sofwave is a treatment I’d like to come back to as part of my maintenance routine.

I was concerned about the texture and firmness of my cheeks. During my first Sofwave session, the sensation felt more like deep warmth under the skin than a needle-like pain. I found it comfortable, and appreciated being able to address both texture and firmness in one session.
