Why Sofwave Is Safe for All Skin Types
Sofwave uses ultrasound energy that targets the mid dermis without affecting pigment producing cells near the surface of the skin. This makes the technology different from many laser treatments, which can sometimes carry risk for patients with deeper skin tones.
Because Sofwave bypasses the epidermis, the treatment avoids triggering pigmentation issues. The energy is absorbed in a deeper layer of the skin where collagen regeneration takes place, making it safe for a broad range of patients. Whether your skin is fair, olive, brown or deep toned, the device maintains controlled heating that does not damage skin color or surrounding tissue.
How Sofwave Protects the Skin Surface
One of the reasons Sofwave is so safe is the built in cooling technology called SofCool. This cooling layer protects the outer skin throughout the session, helping keep the treatment comfortable while preventing overheating.
The ultrasound energy acts below the surface, where collagen structures sit. Since the treatment does not rely on heat diffusion from the top layers, it avoids risks associated with epidermal injury. This precision allows Sofwave to treat wrinkles, mild laxity and early sagging without compromising the skin barrier.
Sofwave Compared To Other Treatments
Some energy based tightening treatments, especially traditional lasers or radiofrequency devices, can carry more risk for darker skin types because they rely on heat that travels through the epidermis. This increases the chance of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sofwave avoids this because its ultrasound energy reaches deeper levels directly and in a uniform pattern. Patients who may not be ideal candidates for certain lasers often qualify easily for Sofwave.
At Treat Medspa, Dr. Ryan Bloch often recommends Sofwave to patients who want consistent tightening without the pigmentation concerns sometimes seen with lasers.
Who Is a Good Candidate
Sofwave is ideal for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity, early signs of aging or areas that need subtle lifting. Because it is safe for all skin tones, the main deciding factor is your treatment goals rather than your complexion.
Patients most commonly seek Sofwave for:
- Lower face tightening
- Neck firming
- Jawline refinement
- Eyebrow elevation
- Fine line softening
Whether your skin is sensitive, dry, oily or combination, Sofwave does not disrupt the surface and is generally well tolerated.

At Treat Medspa, Dr. Ryan Bloch provides customized Sofwave treatments that help patients of all skin tones achieve smoother, firmer and more lifted skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sofwave safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Sofwave does not heat or injure the surface of the skin, making it safe for deeper skin tones that are often sensitive to laser based devices.
Can Sofwave cause hyperpigmentation?
Because the energy bypasses pigment cells, the risk of hyperpigmentation is extremely low compared to many laser treatments.
Does skin type affect Sofwave results?
No. Sofwave delivers consistent results across all skin types because it works at a collagen producing level rather than on the surface.
