DERMATOLOGIST COMPARISON
Ultherapy vs Sofwave
THE SHORT VERSION
Both use ultrasound. Ultherapy PRIME reaches deeper (up to 4.5 mm) for a stronger structural lift; Sofwave works at 1.5 mm with built-in cooling, so it is faster and more comfortable and suits fine lines and thinner faces. Heavier sagging favours Ultherapy; fine lines and comfort favour Sofwave.
