SAVANNA BODA AESTHETICS
Skin Tightening Treatment in Dallas, TX
Sofwave™ Skin Tightening at Savanna Boda Aesthetics
If you’re starting to notice some skin laxity but you're not quite ready for surgery, Sofwave™ might be your perfect in-between. This next-generation, FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment stimulates your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin to visibly lift, tighten, and firm, with no needles, no downtime, and no drama.
At Savanna Boda Aesthetics, we love Sofwave™ because it delivers real, progressive results with minimal discomfort and long-term benefits. Most clients see a noticeable improvement after just one session and results only get better from there.

- Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes
- Numbing: None
- Discomfort: Mild to Moderate

What to Expect
Here’s what the experience looks like:
- Cleanse & Assess: Your skin will be gently cleansed, and your provider will evaluate the treatment area based on your skin condition and concerns.
- Ultrasound Treatment Begins: The Sofwave™ device delivers ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis, where collagen production is stimulated. You’ll feel short bursts of warmth with each pulse, which are typically well-tolerated.
- Cooling Gel for Comfort: A cooling gel is used throughout the treatment to protect the outer skin and improve comfort.
- Treatment Time: Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated. There’s no downtime, and you can resume normal activities right after.
How to Prep
Help your skin respond beautifully to collagen stimulation:
- No Special Skincare Prep Required: There’s no need to stop actives like retinoids or acids beforehand unless your provider instructs you otherwise.
- No Active Acne: If you have active, inflamed acne, please wait until it is fully healed before scheduling your appointment.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin responds better to energy-based treatments and can improve overall comfort.
- Avoid Anti-Inflammatories: If possible, avoid taking NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or aspirin) for 24–48 hours prior, as they may blunt the body’s natural inflammatory (healing) response that supports collagen production. Always consult your physician if you're on prescribed medications.
- Shave Treatment Area (If Needed): If you're treating an area with facial or body hair (like the lower face or neck), shaving the day before or the morning of your appointment may be recommended.
- Arrive with Clean Skin: Please come to your appointment with no makeup on the treatment area so we can begin with a fresh surface.
Aftercare & Post-Treatment Tips
Support your results without disrupting your routine:
- No Downtime or Peeling: There’s no visible peeling or flaking. Some clients experience mild redness or swelling, which usually resolves within a few hours.
- Resume Skincare and Makeup as Normal: You can return to your usual skincare routine and apply makeup the same day unless otherwise advised.
- Avoid Excessive Heat or Exercise for 24 Hours: To minimize swelling or redness, avoid hot yoga, saunas, or high-intensity workouts for the first day.
- Stay Consistent with SPF: While Sofwave™ doesn’t increase sun sensitivity like lasers, wearing sunscreen daily will help protect your investment and maintain long-term skin health.
- Be Patient with Results: Sofwave™ works gradually. Most clients begin to see visible improvements in lifting and skin texture within 4–6 weeks, with most notable results at 5-6 months post-treatment.

FAQ'S
Most clients find the sensation tolerable like a series of warm pulses or a mild zap. Areas with thinner skin (like the jawline) may feel more intense, but overall it’s very manageable. We offer a Zimmer cooling option if you prefer extra comfort during the session.
The treatment is quick and focused, so any discomfort doesn’t last long. After the session, there's no lingering pain or irritation. Most people say the benefits far outweigh the momentary discomfort.
Sofwave uses a patented, high-frequency ultrasound technology that targets the mid-dermis, the layer where collagen loss begins. Unlike older radiofrequency or ultrasound systems, Sofwave™ doesn’t damage the surface and doesn't require downtime. It’s a precise, clinically proven way to tighten skin safely and effectively.
The treatment heats tissue at just the right depth to stimulate collagen without harming surrounding structures. It’s fast, non-invasive, and FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrows, submental area, and neck. Plus, it works on all skin types year-round.
Visible lifting and tightening typically show up around 6–12 weeks post-treatment as your body ramps up collagen production. Those results continue to improve over the next 3–6 months. While some clients notice subtle changes earlier, Sofwave™ is all about long-term payoff.
You’ll gradually see smoother, firmer skin with fewer fine lines and sagging. The best part? It looks completely natural like you, but refreshed. Your results can last up to a year or more with proper skincare.
Many clients get great results from just one treatment a year. For deeper skin laxity or multiple treatment areas, we may recommend up to three sessions spaced out over several months. We’ll build your ideal plan during your consultation. The number of sessions required for treatment depends on your age, skin condition, and how much lifting you want. We always take a customized approach to give you the best, most natural-looking outcome.
Sofwave™ is versatile. We use it on the face, jawline, brows, neck, arms, knees, abdomen, and even thighs. It’s a non-surgical solution for loose or aging skin almost anywhere. We'll guide you based on where you're seeing loss of elasticity or sagging. Sofwave™ is especially popular for lifting the brows and jawline, smoothing neck creases, and tightening skin above the knees.
That said, it’s important to know that Sofwave™ is not a fat-reduction treatment. It’s ideal for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity—especially those who have already lost weight and are dealing with loose skin. It’s not intended for clients seeking body contouring.
There is zero flaking, bruising, or long recovery time after your Sofwave™ treatment. You may experience mild redness or tenderness immediately after, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to your regular skincare and schedule right away (with sunscreen, of course). It’s a true lunchtime treatment—you could walk out and head straight to work or dinner.
Absolutely. Since Sofwave™ doesn’t use light or heat on the skin’s surface, it carries no risk of hyperpigmentation. That makes it a fantastic option for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including sensitive or melanin-rich skin. The focused ultrasound targets deeper layers while leaving the outer skin barrier untouched.
We’ve safely treated clients with all skin tones and sensitivities with excellent outcomes. It's one of the few advanced treatments that doesn’t require compromising on safety or effectiveness. Please note, however, that this treatment is not suitable for active, inflamed acne breakouts.
Yes! Sofwave™ pairs well with treatments like Aerolase® and Chemical Peels. It’s a great complement to anti-aging skincare, and we often combine it with other services to enhance your glow and overall skin health.
We may recommend doing Sofwave™ first, then layering in other treatments a few weeks later for the best synergy. It’s also a great way to prep your skin before a big event or seasonal change. Combining modalities can help you reach your goals faster and extend the results even longer.
