Non-Surgical Skin Tightening in Houston, TX
Tighter, Smoother Skin with Sofwave® at ROG Medspa
The Non-Invasive Treatment for Lifting, Refreshing, and Rejuvenating Skin
Why Choose Sofwave® at River Oaks Galleria (ROG) Medspa
Sofwave® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive ultrasound treatment used to tighten skin (example lifting of the eyebrows, submental area, under the chin, and neck), improve fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce cellulite and acne scars. It delivers focused energy to the mid-dermis to stimulate new collagen; no needles or incisions, and typically little to no downtime.
What Patients Love:
- Most treatments completed in ~30–45 minutes
- Back to routine the same day for most patients
- Smooths fine lines, softens creases, and improves firmness
- Appropriate for all skin tones; customized by our providers
- Pairs well with medical-grade skincare and other non-invasive treatments
Sofwave® uses SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology to create precise thermal coagulation points at a depth that’s rich in collagen. Integrated cooling helps protect the skin’s surface for comfort and safety while the deeper tissue is gently heated to trigger a remodeling response.
Treatment Areas:
- Brows
- Periorbital fine lines
- Facial fine lines and wrinkles
- Submental (under-chin), jawline, and neck
- Upper Arms
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Cellulite
- Acne Scars
How Sofwave® Works
What to Expect:
- Skin is cleansed; topical anesthetic is applied for comfort.
- Pronox nitrous oxide aka “laughing gas” for added comfort.
- The handpiece glides over the treatment area, delivering brief pulses of ultrasound.
- You may feel warmth or tingling, and most patients find it very tolerable.
- Mild redness may occur and usually resolves quickly. Makeup and SPF may be applied afterward.
Results Timeline
- Early smoothing can appear within weeks.
- Collagen remodeling continues with peak improvement around 3–6 months.
- Many patients achieve goals with one session; some benefit from a second visit based on skin quality and goals.
Your Sofwave® Visit at River Oaks Galleria (ROG) Medspa in Houston
- Consultation: Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation where we review your medical history, take photos, and discuss your skin goals. Together, we’ll map treatment areas and create a personalized plan.
- Comfort Plan: To keep your session comfortable, we may apply a topical anesthetic. Advanced cooling technology also protects the skin’s surface while deeper layers are treated.
- Aftercare: Most patients return to normal activities right away. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is recommended to maintain and protect your results.
- Follow-Up: We usually check progress around 12 weeks. At that point, we’ll review your outcome and determine whether a touch-up could further enhance your skin tightening results.

FAQS
How long does it take?
After numbing (which is generally for 30 – 45 minutes), most visits are 30–45 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
What’s the downtime?
Generally minimal to none. Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur and typically resolve quickly.
When will I see results?
Early changes can be seen within weeks; the best improvement develops over 3–6 months as new collagen forms.
How many treatments do I need?
Many patients see great results from one session. Some may benefit from two based on skin quality and goals.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
Sofwave can be appropriate for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Your provider will confirm safety and settings at your consultation.
Does Sofwave replace surgery?
No. It’s ideal for mild to moderate laxity. Advanced laxity may be better addressed surgically; we’ll guide you to the best option.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies by area, customization, and number of sessions. You’ll receive a personalized quote during your visit.
Important Safety Information
Sofwave® is designed to be safe and effective for most people, but it may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, our medical team will carefully review your health history and make sure this treatment is the right fit for you.
Some conditions, such as active skin infections, open wounds, certain medical implants, pregnancy, or very recent procedures in the same area, may mean we recommend waiting or exploring other options.
Mild, temporary effects like slight redness, tenderness, or tingling can occasionally occur, and these typically resolve quickly. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’ll walk you through what to expect, answer your questions, and guide you toward the best treatment for your skin.
