Lift. Tighten. Regenerate.
Healthy, youthful-looking skin depends on more than what you see in the mirror. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — the essential building blocks that give skin its firmness, elasticity, and smooth appearance. Over time, these changes lead to fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and loss of definition throughout the face and neck.
At BelleSante, we believe the best aesthetic treatments don’t simply mask the signs of aging — they support your body’s natural ability to regenerate healthy skin.
Why Is Your Skin Aging?
There is no escaping aging, and if you are fortunate enough to grow older, your skin will tell that story. Wrinkles, volume loss, laxity and changes in texture reflect more than time alone—they are outward signs of deeper changes in collagen, inflammation, and cellular health. For many women, those shifts become especially noticeable during the perimenopause and menopause transition, when falling estrogen can affect the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and resilience.
At BelleSante — French for “Beautiful Health” — we know the skin reflects what is happening inside the body. That is why we think beyond the surface. If we can better understand the root causes of aging — from hormone shifts resulting in increased inflammation, to body composition changes and metabolic health — we can support healthier function across the body, including the skin. BioSculpt offers a physician-guided way to look beneath the surface and build a precision strategy for long-term health and beautiful skin at the cellular level.
What Is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Using SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology), Sofwave delivers precisely controlled ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis — the layer where collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are produced — stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative response without surgery, needles, or significant downtime.
Rather than adding volume with fillers or tightening skin through surgery, Sofwave encourages your skin to renew itself from within. The result is gradual, natural-looking improvement in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
With more than 200,000 treatments performed worldwide, Sofwave has established a strong track record of safety and clinical efficacy across all skin types.
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to:
- Improve fine lines and wrinkles
- Lift the eyebrow
- Lift lax tissue beneath the chin (submental area)
- Improve neck laxity
- Improve the appearance of acne scars
- Improve the appearance of cellulite
How Sofwave Works
Healthy skin depends on continuous renewal. Every day, your body repairs and rebuilds the collagen and elastin fibers that give skin its strength, structure, and elasticity. As this repair cycle slows with age, skin gradually loses firmness and begins showing visible signs of aging.
Sofwave is designed to reactivate those natural repair mechanisms.
Unlike treatments that work primarily at the skin’s surface, Sofwave delivers precisely controlled ultrasound energy approximately 1.5 mm beneath the skin — the optimal depth for stimulating collagen remodeling while protecting surrounding tissue. Integrated SofCool™ technology continuously monitors and cools the skin throughout treatment, keeping the surface protected and patients comfortable.
This controlled thermal stimulation triggers your body to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid over the weeks and months following treatment. As these structural components rebuild, patients notice gradual improvements in skin firmness, smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a subtle lifting effect that continues to evolve naturally.
What Can Sofwave Improve?
Because Sofwave stimulates the body’s natural regenerative response rather than targeting only one cosmetic concern, it can improve multiple signs of aging throughout the face and body.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines often become more noticeable as collagen production slows. Sofwave encourages collagen remodeling to soften wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.
Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity
Loss of firmness is a natural part of aging. Sofwave helps rebuild structural support within the skin, improving mild to moderate laxity without surgery.
Brows
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to lift the eyebrow, creating a brighter, more refreshed appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions.
Jawline & Under the Chin
Patients looking to improve definition beneath the chin or along the jawline often benefit from Sofwave’s ability to tighten and firm skin without incisions or downtime.
Neck
The neck is one of the first places to show visible signs of aging. Sofwave helps improve neck laxity by encouraging healthy tissue regeneration.
Acne Scars
Sofwave can improve the appearance of certain acne scars by encouraging collagen remodeling within the treated tissue.
Cellulite
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of cellulite, helping support smoother-looking skin in appropriate treatment areas.
Why Patients Choose Sofwave™
Patients choose Sofwave because it delivers visible improvement without disrupting their lives. Unlike surgical procedures that require significant recovery — or treatments that dramatically alter facial volume — Sofwave works gradually by supporting your skin’s own repair response.
Benefits of Sofwave include:
- Non-surgical skin tightening and lifting
- Improvement in fine lines and wrinkles
- Stimulation of natural collagen production
- Little to no downtime
- Comfortable, in-office treatment
- Safe for all skin types
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- FDA-cleared technology backed by clinical research
Rather than looking “done,” patients often describe looking more rested, refreshed, and youthful as their skin becomes healthier and firmer over time.

Your Sofwave™ Experience at BelleSante
Every Sofwave treatment at BelleSante begins with a personalized consultation with Kristine Romine, MD, or Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C. During your visit, we will discuss your concerns, evaluate your skin and determine whether Sofwave — or a combination of treatments — is right for your goals. Because no two patients age the same way, your treatment plan is customized to your unique anatomy, skin condition, and desired outcome.
On treatment day, your skin will be cleansed and prepared before the Sofwave handpiece is placed against the treatment area. Integrated SofCool™ technology continuously cools the skin as precisely controlled ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the surface. You may notice a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but significant discomfort is uncommon.
Most treatments take 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Sofwave may also be performed simultaneously with PureImpact VIP™ for patients who want to address skin regeneration and muscle conditioning in one streamlined appointment.
Following your appointment, you can return to normal daily activities right away. Some patients experience mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within a few hours. Our experts will provide detailed aftercare instructions and a customized KRMD Advanced Medical Skin Care regimen designed to support optimal rejuvenation and help maintain your results.
Because Sofwave works by encouraging your body’s natural collagen-building process, improvements develop gradually. Most patients begin seeing visible changes within four to twelve weeks, with continued enhancement as the skin rebuilds healthy structural support. Results often last a year or longer, and periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve your refreshed appearance over time.

The BelleSante Difference
Technology is only one part of exceptional aesthetic care.
At BelleSante, every treatment begins with a thoughtful consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation. Dr. Romine and Sara Romine evaluate not only your aesthetic concerns, but also the underlying factors that may be contributing to them.
While Sofwave is an excellent option for many patients experiencing skin laxity and collagen loss, it may be combined with complementary aesthetic treatments or physician-guided wellness programs when appropriate.
Our goal is never simply to recommend a procedure — it is to help you achieve natural, lasting results that reflect the healthiest version of yourself and support a Lifetime of Healthy, Beautiful Skin™.

Is the treatment comfortable?
Most patients find Sofwave comfortable and well-tolerated. Integrated SofCool™ technology cools and protects the skin’s surface throughout the procedure while ultrasound energy is delivered.
