Sofwave · Synchronous Ultrasound Lifting

Sofwave in Busan, Seomyeon.
The newer ultrasound lifting,
comfortably engineered.

Sofwave is a newer-generation ultrasound device using synchronous parallel beam technology. Unlike traditional HIFU's focal points, Sofwave heats a continuous strip of mid-dermis tissue — producing comfortable, even tightening with minimal discomfort.

What is Sofwave?

All the lifting, with significantly less of the pinch.

Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver ultrasound energy in a continuous strip pattern at mid-dermis depth (1.5mm). This differs from traditional HIFU, which uses focal-point heating at deeper layers. The treatment is designed to stimulate collagen while protecting the skin surface with integrated cooling. Newline Clinic's current published price data does not list Sofwave pricing. Please confirm device availability, recommended shot count and current price before booking.

How it works

The science ,
simplified.

Understanding the mechanism helps you set realistic expectations and compare with alternatives.

01

SUPERB™ parallel beam technology

Instead of single focal points, Sofwave uses 7 ultrasonic transducers that deliver synchronous parallel ultrasound beams — heating a 'rectangle' of tissue uniformly at the precise mid-dermis depth (1.5mm).

02

Mid-dermis collagen targeting

Energy is concentrated in the mid-dermis where collagen and elastin are most abundant. Heating to 60–70°C contracts existing fibers and stimulates new collagen production over 8–12 weeks.

03

Built-in cooling for comfort

Sofwave's tip has integrated cooling that protects the skin surface during treatment. This makes Sofwave significantly more comfortable than traditional HIFU — patients report 3–4/10 pain vs Ultherapy's 5–7/10.

04

Visible improvement over months

Initial mild tightening at 2 weeks. Progressive improvement at 4–8 weeks. Peak result at 3 months. Effect lasts 12–18 months — comparable to Ultherapy duration.

Treatment options

Frequently asked

Sofwave
questions.

How much does Sofwave cost in Busan?
Newline Clinic's current published price data does not list Sofwave pricing. Please confirm device availability, shot count and current fee before booking. Newline's confirmed lifting menu includes Ultherapy Prime, Thermage FLX, XERF, Shurink Universe, Onda and Ollaum Lifting.
Sofwave vs Ultherapy — which is better?
Different approaches. Ultherapy targets deeper SMAS layer (4.5mm) with focal points — stronger lifting but more painful. Sofwave targets mid-dermis (1.5mm) with parallel beams — better skin texture and comfort, slightly less deep lifting. For mild-moderate aging, Sofwave is excellent. For deeper sagging, Ultherapy may be more effective.
How long does Sofwave last?
Sofwave results last 12–18 months — comparable to Ultherapy. Initial improvement visible at 2 weeks, peak result at 3 months. Annual maintenance recommended.
Is Sofwave more comfortable than HIFU?
Sofwave uses integrated cooling and parallel-beam ultrasound, which is designed to improve treatment comfort compared with focal-point HIFU. Individual sensation varies. Comfort measures, including topical numbing when appropriate, are determined by the treating physician.
How many shots do I need?
Shot count depends on treatment area, skin condition and the physician's plan. Common treatment guides may discuss targeted, full-face and face-plus-neck configurations, but Newline does not publish a fixed Sofwave package or shot-count price table at this time.
When will I see Sofwave results?
Initial mild tightening at 2 weeks. Visible improvement at 4–6 weeks. Peak result at 3 months when collagen production peaks. Effect maintains for 12–18 months.
Can Sofwave be combined with other lifting?
Combination treatment may be considered when different concerns or tissue depths need to be addressed. For example, ultrasound lifting may be paired with physician-selected RF treatment or injectables. The sequence and interval should be individualized during consultation.
Is Sofwave safe for Asian skin?
Yes. Sofwave's mid-dermis depth and built-in cooling are particularly safe for Asian skin types (Fitzpatrick III–V). The parallel beam delivery reduces risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to focal HIFU.
Is there downtime after Sofwave?
Zero downtime. Mild redness for 30 minutes to 2 hours. You can apply makeup after a few hours, return to work the same day, and exercise the next day.
Do you offer English-speaking consultations for Sofwave?
Yes. Newline Clinic supports consultations in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese. A Chinese-speaking coordinator is available full-time, and English/Japanese interpretation can be arranged. For booking, contact Newline Clinic on WhatsApp or call 010-6757-4281.
