Meet Sofwave, the Anti-Aging Treatment Sarah Jessica Parker Swears By
February 29, 2024 - Rhys Branman, MDThe 58 year-old fashion icon and Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker recently sat down with Real Simple to discuss the key elements of her skin and beauty routine. She revealed several skincare products she loves, plus her favorite tips and treatments—including one “skincare hack” she swears by for aging gracefully: Sofwave™️️️.
But what is this skin treatment, and why do celebrities like SJP love it? Today, we’re dropping the deets about this popular non-surgical treatment.
What is Sofwave, and why does SJP love it?
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment designed to achieve a noticeable lift to the eyebrow, double chin, and neck areas and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology, which is FDA-cleared to target the mid-dermal tissue layer—meaning there’s no damage to the skin’s surface—a notable advantage over other laser treatments that rejuvenate the skin using controlled damage to the skin’s surface and thus require a few days of social downtime.
The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, lifted, more youthful-looking skin over time. It’s a popular choice for both celebs and our Little Rock med spa patients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Anti-aging benefits
New collagen layers help support the skin for a natural lift and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a result, Sofwave offers a safe and effective non-invasive solution for those desiring a fresher, more youthful complexion but who do not need or want more invasive procedures (like facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift).
Sofwave is FDA-cleared to treat the brow, double chin, and neck—as well as acne scars and cellulite.
Fast and effective
One Sofwave treatment session lasts between 30-45 minutes, with temporary redness resolving after about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Patients typically see improvement about 1 week after treatment, with full results visible around 3 months post-treatment, once the collagen regeneration process is complete. You’ll notice a firmer skin tone and a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Like SJP, most of our patients want proven anti-aging solutions that accommodate busy schedules and, more importantly, empower them to age gracefully.
“I don’t spend a huge amount of time thinking about [aging], because I want to look like myself.”

Curate your own celebrity-approved anti-aging routine
SJP’s anti-aging routine incorporates a variety of non-surgical treatments and effective skincare products to give her that “glow.” At Cosmetic Surgery Center, we can help you create your very own anti-aging plan to cover all your bases, much like Sarah Jessica Parker. Here are a few of our top non-surgical treatments for a fresh, rejuvenated look:
- Botox and Dysport: These injectable neuromodulators temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing underlying facial muscles.
- Dermal Fillers: Products like Juvéderm, Restylane, and RHA fillers help restore volume and smooth out deeper wrinkles by plumping the skin.
- Chemical Peels: These treatments exfoliate the skin, removing damaged outer layers and revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath.
- Laser Treatments: Devices like Sciton and BBL (Broad Band Light) can address pigmentation issues, promote collagen production, and improve skin texture. (SJP swears by these too!)
- Microneedling: This procedure stimulates collagen production by creating tiny punctures in the skin, improving the appearance of the most common skin imperfections.
We also recommend using medical-grade skincare to protect your investment and improve your skin’s appearance with an at-home routine. Our highly qualified aesthetics staff can help you choose which products and treatments can best help you reach your goals!
