Our ultrasound treatment methods
We use market-leading, medically proven technology for skin rejuvenation. At The Faculty, we primarily use Sofwave, which is the next generation of ultrasound technology. It is based on the same deep-acting principles as traditional Ultherapy (focused ultrasound), but with a patented technology that delivers thermal energy even more evenly and gently to the tissue.
Sofwave (Modern ultrasound technology)
High-frequency ultrasound pulses heat the deeper layers of the skin under strict control. The process stimulates the body’s own production of collagen and elastin. The method is specifically designed to tighten the face, neck and jawline.
Gentle approach
A fundamental principle of our skin-tightening ultrasound treatment is a deep respect for the anatomy of the face. Our equipment features integrated cooling systems that actively protect the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) throughout the procedure. By delivering energy with precise accuracy deep into the tissue, unnecessary thermal impact on the skin’s surface is avoided. This methodical approach is absolutely crucial – it makes the treatment gentler, minimises recovery time and ensures that stimulation occurs in the underlying layers where it provides the greatest anatomical benefit for lasting firmness.
A clinic full of expertise
Performing machine-based treatments that affect the skin at a deep level requires a thorough understanding of the body’s anatomy. At our clinic, your treatment is carried out exclusively by qualified and specialised skin therapists and nurses. Our practice is underpinned by patient safety and proven methods. We explain the technology in detail and ensure you receive the medical information you need to feel completely at ease.
Price of ultrasound treatment
If you are looking for an Ultherapy price, the cost depends on which area of the face or body is to be treated. As we use Sofwave technology for our ultrasound lifts, our pricing is based on this method. During your consultation, you will always be given an accurate and transparent quote.

Pre-treatment consultation for Sofwave
The very first step is to book a consultation with one of our specialists. We will carry out a clinical assessment of your skin’s elasticity, discuss your expectations and go through the health declaration. You will receive clear information about the procedure, the expected outcome and any potential side effects.
You will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your body.
Ultrasound treatment
Step by step
We have a structured and reliable process, from your initial consultation right through to the final follow-up, so that you always know what to expect.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
You will meet with a skin specialist who will assess the condition and elasticity of your skin. Together, you will discuss which areas to focus on – such as the neck, face or jawline – and determine that ultrasound treatment is the best medical option for you.
Before your treatment
Preparations for safe treatment
The treatment requires very little preparation. However, we recommend that you stop using potent skincare products, such as retinol or strong acids, a few days before your appointment so that your skin is stable and unaffected when you come to see us.
The day of treatment
Safe care at the clinic
The area is thoroughly cleaned. Some people find the heat generated by the ultrasound intense, which is why we always apply an anaesthetic cream before we start. An ultrasound gel is then applied, and the machine’s handpiece is systematically moved across the skin to deliver the energy to exactly the right depth.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
You can resume your normal routine straight away. For the first few days, you should avoid strenuous physical exercise and saunas so as not to further irritate your skin. Use gentle skincare products and be extremely careful to use a high sun protection factor (SPF) when outdoors.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
As it takes time for the body to build up new collagen, we schedule a follow-up appointment for a final assessment and photographs after around three to six months. It is then that we can objectively assess the actual firming results.
Our specialists
At The Faculty in Stockholm, we have hand-picked a team of qualified nurses and skincare therapists with in-depth expertise in high-tech skincare. Handling powerful ultrasound energy requires a thorough understanding of the body’s tissue layers. It is this collective medical expertise that ensures your treatment is carried out with the utmost safety.
Who is eligible for ultrasound treatment?
The treatment is ideal for people who have started to experience mild to moderate skin laxity and are looking for a non-surgical alternative. During the consultation, your general health and skin elasticity will be assessed. If the skin has lost too much elasticity, or if there is an active infection in the area, the treatment is not recommended. For medical safety reasons, we never treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Our clinics
The Faculty combines medical safety with a welcoming environment. Our state-of-the-art clinic at Hangövägen 20 is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Sweden that is built to proper hospital standards. For skin care and injection treatments, you are welcome to visit our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in central Stockholm. All operations are based on medical expertise and proven experience to offer a safe process from the first visit to the last follow-up.
Payment guarantee and insurance
We are committed to your peace of mind, both in terms of medical outcomes and financial transparency. As a patient with us, a registered healthcare provider, you are always covered by the applicable patient insurance. For those who wish to structure their payments, we offer transparent and flexible financing solutions through our trusted partners.

Frequently asked questions about ultrasound treatments
Frequently asked questions and answers about ultrasound treatments
How much does a treatment cost?
The cost depends on the area being treated. For the face and neck using our ultrasound technology, the price is 25,000 SEK. A full breakdown of costs is always provided during your consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
The experience is highly personal. Some people describe the ultrasound pulses as a deep, warming sensation, whilst others feel short, intense pricks. We always use a topical anaesthetic cream and sometimes painkillers to make the experience comfortable.
How long do the results last?
The new collagen produced by the body is permanent, resulting in a long-lasting lifting effect. However, the skin’s natural ageing process continues regardless of the method used. Many patients therefore choose to have a maintenance treatment after 12–18 months.
What is the difference between Ultherapy and Sofwave?
Both methods use ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin. Sofwave is a newer technology (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) that delivers energy via multiple cylindrical zones in the middle layer of the skin. Many people find this modern technology gentler and faster, with very consistent anatomical results.
How soon do you see results from Ultherapy or similar ultrasound treatments?
As collagen production is an ongoing physiological process, the full results are usually visible after around three to six months.
When can I go back to work?
You can usually return to work straight away after the treatment. Your skin may be slightly red, but you generally won’t need to take time off work to recover.
