Precise Ultrasound Lifting with Sofwave
Sofwave’s specialized handpiece delivers ultrasound energy evenly into the mid-dermal layer, where collagen renewal begins. Designed for precise, comfortable treatment, it helps improve skin firmness, fine lines, and facial contours with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Targeted Mid-Dermal Collagen Stimulation
Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy in precise, evenly spaced points within the mid-dermal layer, helping activate collagen renewal where skin firmness begins. By targeting this key layer without affecting deeper fat or muscle structures, it supports smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a naturally lifted appearance with minimal downtime.
The Difference Between Conventional HIFU and Sofwave
Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy within the mid-dermal layer (approximately 1–2 mm depth), helping support collagen remodeling. By concentrating energy within this targeted layer, it offers a refined skin-tightening approach with minimal downtime.
Conventional Ultrasound (HIFU)
Conventional HIFU treatments are often designed to deliver energy at deeper tissue levels, depending on the treatment depth and cartridge used.
Sofwave
Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy within the mid-dermal layer, where controlled thermal zones help support the skin’s natural collagen response and skin-firming process.
Cautions
Mild redness, warmth, or tenderness may occur temporarily but usually resolves within a few hours to 1–2 days.
Slight swelling or sensitivity can appear after treatment but typically improves within several days.
Gentle cleansing and light makeup are allowed on the same day as the treatment.
Avoid saunas, hot baths, swimming, heavy exercise, and excessive heat exposure for about 3–5 days.
Keep the skin well hydrated and apply sunscreen regularly, especially when going outdoors.
Drink plenty of water and follow the recommended maintenance schedule to support collagen renewal and long-lasting results.
LIJIN’s Process

Facial Imaging & Design
High-resolution imaging technology is used to capture your facial structure in consistent angles and distances, ensuring precise before-and-after comparisons. This helps us design the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.
