Used Sofwave asking prices
Used Sofwave systems were listed at $24,975 to $64,899 across three dealer listings read in November 2026.
Only one of those units, the $64,899 system, was still available on November 11, 2026, and its listing title gives no year.
The other two were earlier listings from one dealer: a 2022 unit at $37,975 and a 2023 unit at $24,975.
The older 2022 unit asked more, and its listing title states that it includes consumable purchasing support.
Three points from two sellers are too few for a market range, so read them as single asking prices.
We have no verified new-system price for Sofwave, so this page does not give a used-versus-new discount.
Sofwave versions and FDA clearances
Sofwave received its first US clearance, K191421, on September 9, 2019, under the name Sofacia System, for facial lines and wrinkles.
Used listings name a build year rather than a version, so the clearance history is the clearest way to place a unit.
| 510(k) | Cleared | What it added |
|---|---|---|
| K191421 | 2019-09-09 | Sofacia System: facial lines and wrinkles, ages 22 and older |
| K211483 | 2021-11-15 | SofWave System: eyebrow lift and lift of lax submental and neck tissue |
| K223237 | 2022-12-16 | Short-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite |
| K232455 | 2023-12-14 | Pure Impact muscle-stimulation module |
| K233104 | 2023-12-22 | Indications by then included acne scars and skin laxity on the upper arms |
Ask the seller which indications and modules the console's software carries, because a 2021 or 2022 unit may predate the later clearances.
Sofwave specs and technology
Sofwave is an ultrasound system that delivers SUPERB synchronous parallel-beam ultrasound with integrated Sofcool cooling.
| Brand | Sofwave |
|---|---|
| Technology | SUPERB synchronous ultrasound parallel beam |
| Cooling | Integrated Sofcool cooling |
| Target depth (Sofwave product page) | Thermal effect at 0.5–2 mm, centered at 1.5 mm |
| Treatment depth (FDA summary K211483) | 1–2 mm, thermal coagulation zone under 3 mm |
| First FDA clearance | K191421, 2019-09-09 (as Sofacia System) |
| Clearance under the SofWave name | K211483, 2021-11-15 |
| Patient age (labeled) | 22 and older |
| Use | Prescription use (21 CFR 801 Subpart D) |
The manufacturer's page and the FDA summary give slightly different depth figures, so the table shows both with their source.
Sofwave is one of the ultrasound systems listed and priced in the used HIFU and ultrasound skin tightening listings that include Sofwave.
Sofwave pulse credits and transfer to a new owner
A used Sofwave will not treat until pulse credits are loaded.
One dealer's 2022 unit showed a "Pulse Pack Needed" error on screen with 16,899 total system pulses logged.
One dealer's 2022 listing states that the sale includes consumable purchasing support, so ask every seller whether they will help you buy credits.
We have not verified a per-pulse price or a Sofwave transfer or recertification fee, so this page does not print one.
Get the credit price and any transfer charge in writing before you pay, and compare the credit cost with per-device consumable costs for the systems Sofwave competes with.
What clinics use the Sofwave for
Sofwave is FDA-cleared as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the indications below, across clearances from 2019 to 2023.
- Improve facial lines and wrinkles (2019, patients 22 and older)
- Lift the eyebrow (2021)
- Lift lax submental (beneath the chin) and neck tissue (2021)
- Short-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite (2022)
- Treatment of acne scars (cleared by K233104, 2023)
- Improve the appearance of skin laxity on the upper arms (K233104, 2023)
Sofwave is FDA-cleared, not FDA-approved, so treat any listing that says "FDA-approved" as loose wording.
What to check on a used Sofwave
Check five things on a used Sofwave: pulse count, credit status, credit support, software indications and the seller.
- Pulse count: ask for a photo of the total system pulse count on screen; one 2022 unit showed 16,899.
- Credit status: ask whether any pulse credits remain, since a console showing "Pulse Pack Needed" will not treat.
- Credit support: get written confirmation that you can buy credits after the sale, as one 2022 listing offered consumable purchasing support.
- Software indications: confirm which cleared indications and modules, such as Pure Impact, the console runs.
- Seller: be wary of Sofwave listings from exporters priced at a small fraction of real units with copied marketing text, which are consistent with replicas.
Ask for service records and match the serial number on the console to the paperwork.
Who can buy a used Sofwave
No, not everyone: Sofwave's 510(k) labels it for prescription use under 21 CFR 801 Subpart D.
Who may own and operate one also depends on your state, so check your state board's rules before you buy.
Sofwave alternatives with used prices
The closest alternatives to a used Sofwave are the legacy Ultherapy, Ultherapy PRIME and Thermage FLX, with asking prices that differ widely.
Legacy Ultherapy systems were listed at $5,995 (2012) to $26,000 (2013) in November 2026, and their listings are on the used Ultherapy price and spec page for buyers weighing it against Sofwave.
Merz states that full service and support for the legacy Ultherapy device conclude on September 30, 2027.
A 2024 Ultherapy PRIME was listed at $99,899 by one dealer as of November 2026.
A 2021 Thermage FLX was listed at $64,950 by one dealer as of November 2026.
Sofwave questions
Will a used Sofwave work without new pulse credits?
No: a used Sofwave will not treat until credits are loaded.
One dealer's 2022 unit showed a "Pulse Pack Needed" error on screen.
Confirm in writing that you can buy credits before you pay.
Why was a 2022 Sofwave listed above a 2023 unit?
The 2022 unit was listed at $37,975 with consumable purchasing support, while the 2023 unit was listed at $24,975 without that wording in its title.
Credit support may matter more than build year on a device that needs credits to treat.
Can I contact a Sofwave seller directly?
Yes.
The form on each listing goes straight to the seller, and AestheticDeviceMarket never takes payment for a device.
Inspect the device and check the paperwork before you pay.
Where do the used prices come from?
From dated asking prices on dealer and clinic listings, never from sale prices.
We show a range only when at least 3 listings from 2 or more sellers back it.
