Menopause has long been shrouded in stigma, but times are changing—and so is the conversation around the ‘Big Change.’ With 6,000 women in the U.S. entering menopause daily and about 50 million women now post-menopausal, this transition is no longer something to hide. Instead, women are coming together, armed with information that empowers them to emerge from this phase feeling more beautiful than ever. Enter Sofwave—the skincare solution revolutionizing how menopausal skin is treated.
Just as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been a game-changer for menopausal symptoms, Sofwave offers a breakthrough for menopausal skin concerns. But before diving into the science of this FDA-cleared treatment, let’s consider how menopause impacts the skin.

How Menopause Affects the Skin
As women enter menopause, hormonal shifts dramatically decrease collagen production—up to 30% in the first five years. This loss of collagen, combined with decreased estrogen and progesterone levels, results in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging, particularly in the lower face and neck. "During menopause, there is a decrease in collagen and elastin production, which causes increased tissue laxity and wrinkles," explains Shay Moinuddin, MHA, CANS, RN, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist at The Few Institute. "The skin can also appear more dehydrated and dry due to these hormonal changes."
For women experiencing these changes, Sofwave can be the perfect solution.
The Sofwave Advantage
Sofwave uses a new form of ultrasound technology, SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology), to remodel collagen and improve skin texture. This non-invasive treatment heats the skin to a precise temperature (60-70°C), triggering a healing response that encourages collagen production, giving your skin a plumper, smoother appearance.
Dr. Julius Few, founder of The Few Institute of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, sees Sofwave as an excellent tool for menopausal skin. “For patients who are not quite ready for a facelift but want to improve sagging skin, Sofwave offers a non-invasive option that can enhance tissue firmness,” says Dr. Few. He emphasizes that Sofwave is also an essential post-surgery maintenance treatment: "For patients who’ve had a facelift, using Sofwave two to three years post-surgery helps maintain skin and tissue tone, prolonging the results of the surgical facelift."

Addressing Menopausal Skin Concerns
What makes Sofwave especially effective for menopausal skin? "It stimulates collagen production in the mid-dermis, where collagen production is at its richest," explains Moinuddin. By doing so, it addresses both superficial skin laxity and lifts the lower face, which is a common concern for menopausal women.
"My patients love that the treatment is quick—just 60 minutes—and non-invasive, with no downtime," Moinuddin adds. "They’re always looking for ways to stimulate collagen, and Sofwave offers a scientifically-backed solution that also improves textural issues like acne scars and cellulite."
Celebrating Menopause and Embracing Sofwave
Menopause, once seen as the end of a chapter, is now being redefined. "This isn’t the end, not even close," says Moinuddin. "We’re evolving to view menopause as a time to celebrate, reflect, and prepare for the next phase of life with wisdom and beauty."
This September, as we observe Menopause Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to consider how treatments like Sofwave can help women embrace their evolving beauty. With Sofwave, menopausal women can reclaim the youthful, radiant skin that reflects the confidence they feel inside.
