XERF vs. Sofwave: Comparing Two Game-Changing SkinTightening Technologies

Sofwave and XERF are both FDA-cleared skin tightening treatments that have made waves in aesthetic medicine. But despite their similar goals, these technologies take very different approaches to achieving results. Let us explore which might be the better fit for you if you live in or near Bucks County, PA.

Understanding the Technology Difference

XERF: Multifrequency Monopolar Radiofrequency

XERF delivers two distinct RF frequencies simultaneously to target shallow, mid, and deep skin layers. Its monopolar approach means current flows from the handpiece through the dermis to a dispersive electrode.

Sofwave: Ultrasound Technology

Sofwave uses SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology, which delivers ultrasound energy through parallel beams to heat the mid dermis and stimulate new collagen. Sofwave is cleared by the FDA for lifting the eyebrow, lifting lax submental and neck tissue, improving facial lines and wrinkles, improving the appearance of acne scars, and short term improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Side-by-Side Comparison of XERF vs. Sofwave

Technology: XERF uses dual frequency monopolar radiofrequency. Sofwave uses SUPERB™ ultrasound technology.

Depth:  XERF targets shallow, mid, and deep skin layers. Sofwave focuses ultrasound energy in the mid dermis.

Sensation: XERF feels like a warm massage with added cooling. Sofwave is often described as more intense, so numbing is commonly applied before treatment.

Downtime: Both have zero to minimal downtime

Cost: Sofwave can range from $2,000-$3,000 per treatment for the face. XERF can range from $2,000-$3,000 per treatment for the face depending on the practice and the location.

Treatment Time: Sofwave can take 60 minutes to 90 minutes to treat the entire face if numbing is applied before the treatment. XERF can take 45 minutes to 1 hour to treat the face as numbing is not needed.
