Our Favourite Skin Tightening Treatment. Sofwave lifts the face, neck and eye area for a fresh, youthful appearance.
The next generation of non-invasive ultrasound technology clinically proven to lift and tighten the face and neck without downtime. At L’Atelier Aesthetics, Sofwave is performed by our incredible team led by Dr Duncan Brennand.
Sofwave uses gentle ultrasound energy to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. These are the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and resilient. By encouraging the skin’s own healing and renewal process, Sofwave helps improve laxity, soften fine lines and restore a fresher, more rejuvenated appearance over time.
Sofwave can be used across the face, neck and décolletage and is particularly effective around the delicate eye area, where it can create a subtle lifting effect of up to 4mm. The treatment is quick, non surgical and typically requires just one session, making it a popular choice for those seeking noticeable skin tightening with minimal disruption to daily life.
Sofwave has become a favourite treatment for skin tightening here at L’Atelier Aesethetics. Every Sofwave treatment at L’Atelier begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin, discuss your goals and ensure the treatment is right for you. Our Sofwave treatments on Harley start from the price of £999.

I had one of the best chemical peels with the lovely Kate! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Kate made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire experience.

Loved my skin peel with Kate today. Kate is always so warm, welcoming and super informative about each step of the treatment. as well as the after care. I’m new to L’Atelier Aesthetics and can’t say enough great things about everyone. Looking forward to more treatments and a great skin journey!

Dr Duncan Brennand, Medical Director at L’Atelier Aesthetics, is a trusted Harley Street aesthetic doctor renowned for his expertise in skin tightening and non-surgical rejuvenation.

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Using advanced ultrasound technology, Sofwave delivers precise energy waves to the mid-dermal layer of the skin, triggering collagen production and tightening without the need for needles or downtime.
Your softwave treatment typically takes 30 – 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During this time, patients may experience a warming sensation as the ultrasound energy penetrates the skin, stimulating new collagen and elastin to improve tone and firmness over the following weeks.
Some patients notice mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Dr Brennand and our team will provide tailored aftercare advice, ensuring your skin recovers optimally and results develop naturally over the coming months.
Following Sofwave ultrasound skin tightening at L’Atelier Aesthetics in Harley Street, most
patients can return to normal activities immediately with little to no downtime. Mild redness,
warmth or slight swelling may occur but typically settles within a few hours. Results develop
gradually as new collagen forms, with visible lifting and tightening continuing over 12
weeks. Avoid dermal filler in treated areas for two weeks before and after your Sofwave
treatment to optimise results.
Sofwave is a next generation, non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to lift and tighten
the brow, face and neck while improving lines, wrinkles and mild skin laxity. Because it
stimulates collagen production beneath the skin without damaging the surface, recovery is
minimal compared to more invasive procedures.
