Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need numbing cream before Sofwave?
No — Sofwave has an integrated cooling system (Sofcool) that makes the treatment comfortable without topical numbing cream. Most patients describe the sensation as warm with brief moments of intensity. This is one of Sofwave's advantages over other skin tightening technologies.
Can I combine Sofwave with other treatments?
Yes — Sofwave pairs well with many treatments. Popular combinations include Sofwave + Botox (same day — Botox first), Sofwave + HydraFacial (same day or within the same week), and Sofwave + RF microneedling (space 4+ weeks apart). Your clinician will recommend the optimal combination plan for your goals.
How much does Sofwave cost?
Sofwave treatments at Rani Beauty Clinic range from $2,750 to $4,500, depending on the treatment areas. Full face treatment is the most popular option. The investment reflects that most patients need only one session — making Sofwave cost-effective compared to treatments requiring multiple sessions.
