How does Sofwave Work?

Science-backed skin renewal Sofwave uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver precise energy at 1.5mm depth — the exact layer where new collagen forms.

1. Ultrasound Energy Delivery

Seven transducers simultaneously deliver focused ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis, heating the tissue to 60–70°C without damaging the skin’s surface.

2. Collagen remodeling begins

The controlled thermal injury triggers the body’s natural healing response. New collagen and elastin fibers start to form beneath the skin over the following weeks.

3. Progressive Visible Results

Improvement begins around 12 weeks and peaks at 6 months post-treatment. Results can last a year or more, with a single 45-minute session doing the work.

JECT Model

Science-Backed Skin Renewal

Sofwave is FDA-cleared for multiple indications, making it one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments available.

Brow Lifting

FDA-cleared to lift the brow and open up the eye area — without injections or surgery. A subtle but transformative result most patients notice immediately.

Facial Skin Tightening

Targets sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, mid-face and under the chin. Stimulates new collagen to restore definition and a more youthful contour.

Neck & Décolletage

One of the few non-surgical treatments proven effective on the neck. Firms loose skin and reduces the appearance of horizontal neck lines and crepey texture.

Wrinkle Reduction

By rebuilding collagen in the mid-dermis, Sofwave smooths fine lines and deeper wrinkles across the face — from forehead creases to nasolabial folds.

Works on All Skin Tones

Unlike many laser treatments, Sofwave’s ultrasound energy bypasses the epidermis entirely, making it safe and effective for skin types with no hyperpigmentation risk.

No Downtime, No Anesthesia

Sessions take 30–45 minutes and patients may return to normal activity immediately. Pain control measures may be offered during the procedure, and discomfort is minimal.

Sofwave vs. other skin tightening options

  • Stimulates collagen deep in the mid-dermis
  • FDA-cleared, single session

Ultherapy

  • No downtime
  • Safe for all skin tones
  • Collagen stimulation via focused ultrasound
  • FDA-cleared, typically single session
  • Older platform; Sofwave’s SUPERB™ technology delivers more uniform coverage with greater comfort

Thermage

  • No downtime
  • Safe for all skin tones
  • Radiofrequency energy targets more superficial layers than Sofwave
  • FDA-cleared, single session

RF Microneedling

  • Safe for all skin tones
  • Collagen stimulation, but typically requires 3 or more sessions
  • FDA-cleared

Surgical facelift

HALO TRIBRID Pre Care, Post Care, & What to Expect

Pre Care

Instructions may vary depending on on intensity of treatment.

Avoid retinols, exfoliants, and active or harsh skincare for 5-7 days prior to treatment


Please arrive to your appointment completely free of makeup, sunscreen and skincare, including eye makeup


Avoid direct sunlight for two weeks prior to your appointment


Skin should be at its baseline color, not freshly tanned or burned and without sunless tanner for six weeks

Post Care

Postcare for 7-14 days after your TRIBRID treatment:

Morning Routine

Wash the treated area with a gentle cleanser. We recommend JECT Gentle Cleanser or Alastin Gentle Cleanser


Immediately after cleansing, spray hypochlorous acid on the treated area


Apply two pumps of Alastin Skin Nectar to the treated area


Apply mineral sunscreen containing zinc or titanium as the active ingredients. Tinted mineral sunscreen is preferred. Note: application of chemical sunscreens to your skin at this stage will likely cause stinging.



Evening Routine

Wash the treated area with a gentle cleanser. We recommend JECT Gentle Cleanser or Alastin Gentle Cleanser


Immediately after cleansing, spray hypochlorous acid on the treated area


Apply two pumps of Alastin Skin Nectar to the treated area


Apply a thick moisturizing agent such as Aquaphor, Vaseline or a bland emollient cream

What to Expect

What should I expect after my HALO TRIBRID treatment?

During Treatment:Topical numbing is applied for comfort. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.


Days 1-2: Your skin will be red and swollen. The swelling is the worst two days after treatment. You will notice swelling is generally worse in the morning and improves throughout the day.


Day 3-4: Swelling begins to subside and you will notice MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) forming. MENDS will be light to dark brown and have a gritty sensation, similar to coffee grounds or rough sandpaper. DO NOT scrub off these MENDS.


Days 5-10: MENDS will gently slough off as you cleanse and moisturize your skin and you will see new, pink skin underneath.


Complete healing is expected fourteen days after treatment. We find that most patients are significantly better within seven days after treatment.

I have been going to JECT for my facial treatments for the past 5 years and can truly say it's one of the best injectable experiences in the New York area. I have tried other places and nothing compares. Allison is so talented. She is consultative and such a knowledgeable injector. The JECT team is helpful and flexible with scheduling etc.

Always the best experience at JECT. I have been seeing Allison for 2+ years, and she is the absolute best! Everyone who works there is professional, smart, and very attentive. I can't recommend this place enough.

Andriana has the hands of an angel! She helped correct filler issues I was having from another place and gave me great botox recommendations that helped me look natural but better. She quickly earned my trust and I appreciate her kindness, attention to detail and flawless execution which also included no bruising or bleeding. The studio is very modern, clean, and friendly. The entire staff was fantastic. I highly recommend this place over any of the other ones I have been to in the New York area.

JECT is by far the best med spa out there. Unmatched training program and quality of service as a result (seriously, their practitioners set the standard in the industry - natural results, so knowledgeable, masters of their craft). You can't go wrong seeing anyone at any locations! Obsessed with this brand and service offering.

The BEST medispa I've ever been to. Everything is very personalized. The team takes the time to listen to your needs/wants and formulates a specific plan for you. I went there right before my wedding, nervous as all hell, but after the pre-treatment consultation I felt relieved and I knew I was in good hands. My results were impeccable. I will never switch!

Skincare Essentials: Must-Have Products for Your Skincare Routine

Everything you need to know about Sofwave

  • How long does a Sofwave treatment take?      

    A full-face treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes. Adding the neck and décolletage will extend the session. There’s no preparation required.

  • Is there any downtime after Sofwave?      

    None. Sofwave has no required recovery period. Some patients experience mild temporary redness or warmth immediately following treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to work, social activities, and exercise the same day.

  • When will I see my Sofwave results?      

    Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Most patients notice initial improvements at 12 weeks post-treatment, peaking around 6 months. Results typically last 12-18 months or more, depending on age, lifestyle, and skin condition.

  • How many Sofwave sessions do I need?      

    Most patients achieve excellent results with a single session. For patients with more significant skin laxity, a second session may be recommended after the initial results have fully developed (around 3 months). Your JECT provider will discuss the best plan for your goals during your consultation.

  • Is Sofwave safe for my skin tone?      

    Yes. Because Sofwave uses ultrasound energy that bypasses the outer layers of the skin entirely, it carries no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is clinically validated and FDA-cleared for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones that may not be suitable for certain laser treatments.

  • How is Sofwave different from Ultherapy?      

    Both use ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen, but Sofwave’s SUPERB™ technology uses multiple parallel beams simultaneously for faster, more uniform coverage. Clinical studies suggest Sofwave provides comparable or superior results with greater patient comfort.

  • Am I a good candidate for Sofwave?      

    Sofwave is ideal for patients in their late 30s through 60s experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, brow drooping, or wrinkle formation. A consultation with a JECT provider is the best way to determine candidacy.
