Sofwave®
Sofwave®: The Future of Skin Tightening on Long Island
Are you searching for a non-surgical solution for sagging jowls, fine lines, or a drooping brow? Do you want a real, noticeable lift without the downtime, risks, or discomfort of other treatments?
Welcome to Inara Med Spa. We provide a physician-led solution to skin laxity, right here in Glen Cove. We are proud to offer Sofwave, the revolutionary, FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that rebuilds collagen to lift and tighten your skin with absolutely zero downtime.
Your treatment is performed exclusively by Dr. Attia Hussain, a dual-board certified physician. Her medical expertise ensures a safe, comfortable, and effective procedure that delivers the natural-looking results you deserve.
Tired of Sagging Skin, Jowls, and Wrinkles?
As we age, our body’s collagen and elastin production slows down. This leads to the most common signs of aging:
- Sagging jowls and a less defined jawline
- Crepey skin and wrinkles on the neck
- Drooping eyebrows that make you look tired
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the face
You don’t need surgery to fight back. Sofwave is your answer for a non-surgical facelift and brow lift on Long Island, rebuilding your skin’s support structure from the inside out.
What is Sofwave & How Does It Work?
It’s not a laser, not an RF microneedling device, and not like any other treatment you’ve tried. Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate the body’s production of new collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Here’s how it works:
- Precision Targeting: Sofwave delivers controlled ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermis (1.5mm deep), the exact layer where collagen production happens.
- Collagen Activation: This energy creates a “healing response” that triggers your body to produce new, healthy collagen and elastin.
- The Sofcool™ Advantage: An integrated cooling system, Sofcool™, protects the outer layer of your skin at all times. This makes the treatment exceptionally comfortable and, most importantly, means there is no downtime.
This is a true “lunchtime” procedure. A full face and neck treatment typically takes just 30-45 minutes, and you can immediately return to your day.
Morpheus8 vs Sofwave: A Physician's Choice for Safety & Results
As a medical aesthetics practice led by a board-certified physician, our technology choices are based on safety and efficacy. You may be researching “Sofwave vs. Morpheus8” or “Sofwave vs. Ultherapy.” Here is why Dr. Hussain chose Sofwave for her patients.
Sofwave vs. Morpheus8
- Downtime: Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency, physically puncturing the skin. This results in 3-7 days of social downtime (redness, swelling, and dot-like marks). Sofwave has ZERO downtime.
- Safety: The microneedling component of Morpheus8 carries a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially for darker skin tones. Sofwave’s ultrasound technology bypasses the skin’s surface, making it safe and effective for all skin tones.
- Risk: Morpheus8 can be adjusted to target deeper layers, which (if done improperly) carries a risk of accidental fat loss in the face. Sofwave’s energy is fixed at the 1.5mm dermal layer, making it impossible to reach and damage your facial fat.
Sofwave vs. Ultherapy
- Comfort: This is the key difference. Ultherapy uses focused micro-points of ultrasound energy, which many patients find very painful. Sofwave’s SUPERB™ parallel beams and Sofcool™ cooling system make it a much more comfortable treatment. We use a topical numbing cream to ensure you are relaxed and comfortable from start to finish.
The Inara Med Spa Verdict: We chose Sofwave because it delivers significant lifting and tightening results without the downtime, pain, or risks associated with other devices.
Is Sofwave the Right Treatment for You?
Sofwave is the ideal treatment for clients in their 30s and older who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity.
It’s important to have the right tool for the right job. At Inara Med Spa, we often clarify:
- Use SkinPen® Microneedling for: Improving skin texture, reducing acne scars, and refining pores.
- Use Sofwave® for: Lifting and tightening the skin, addressing sagging jowls, lifting the brow, and smoothing neck lines.
During your free consultation, Dr. Hussain will assess your skin and help you choose the treatment that will give you the best possible results.
Your Sofwave Treatment: Recovery, Results & Follow Up
We know you have questions about the “sofwave treatment recovery time” and what to expect. This is the best part.
- The Procedure: Dr. Hussain will apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort. Numbing will take 30-45 minutes She will then perform the 30 to 1 hour treatment (depending on the area of treatment) by herself. You will feel a warm sensation as the energy is delivered.
- Sofwave Recovery Time: There is no recovery time. You may look slightly flushed (like you’ve just come from a walk) for a few minutes, but you can apply makeup and return to your life immediately.
- Sofwave Results: You may see an immediate subtle lift, but the real magic is just beginning. Your body will build new collagen over the next 12 weeks. Most patients see a noticeable lift that continues to improve for 3 months and lasts for a year or more.
Follow-Up Requirements: While some see results after one session, Dr. Hussain’s protocol for most patients is a series of 3 sessions to achieve optimal, long-lasting lifting and tightening.

Your Sofwave Questions, Answered
Patient comfort is one of the main reasons Dr. Hussain chose Sofwave. The device features an integrated Sofcool™ cooling system that protects your skin and ensures you’re comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a “warm, tingly” feeling. To make the experience even more pleasant, Dr. Hussain applies a topical numbing cream before the procedure begins.
Zero. This is the biggest advantage of Sofwave. You can genuinely return to your normal activities—including work, social events, or exercise—immediately after your 30-45 minute session. There is no peeling, bruising, or dot-like marks. You may have mild, temporary redness, but this usually fades within the hour.
Many patients report a subtle, immediate tightening effect right after treatment. However, the real results come from new collagen production, which takes time. You will see results develop over the next 12 weeks, with optimal lifting and tightening appearing at the 3-month mark.
Results are long-lasting and can last for a year or more. Because Sofwave triggers your body’s own natural healing process, the new collagen you build is your own. We recommend a maintenance treatment once a year to combat the natural aging process and maintain your results.
They are different tools for different goals, but for non-invasive skin tightening with zero downtime, we believe Sofwave is the superior choice. Morpheus8 involves microneedling, which requires 3-7 days of downtime and carries a risk of hyperpigmentation for some skin tones. Sofwave works below the skin’s surface, making it safe for all skin tones and requiring no downtime.
While some patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, Dr. Hussain’s recommended protocol for most patients is a series of 3 sessions to achieve the most dramatic and long-lasting lift. This will be determined during your free consultation.
The price of Sofwave depends on the areas being treated (e.g., full face, neck, or brow). We provide a transparent, personalized quote during your free, no-obligation consultation with Dr. Hussain. We also offer flexible Sofwave financing options through our partner, Advance Care, to make the treatment affordable and accessible.
Yes. This is a key benefit. Unlike many lasers or RF microneedling devices that can pose a risk for darker skin, Sofwave’s ultrasound energy bypasses the epidermis (the top layer of skin) entirely. It is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types and tones, year-round.
