Protocol Note
Sofwave versus the RF microneedling category: what is actually different
Ultrasound at a fixed mid-dermal depth versus radiofrequency delivered through insulated or non-insulated micro-needles at operator-set depths. Different physics, different patient experience, different clinical signatures.
Protocol Note
Sofwave pricing across five markets — the honest cost-benefit read
Singapore SGD, Hong Kong HKD, Malaysia MYR, Gangnam KRW, and United States USD pricing for the same Sofwave face protocol — with the inclusions, exclusions, and travel-cost overlays that decide where the math actually lands.
Protocol Note

Aesthetic Industry Awards, NewBeauty Best of Beauty, FDA 510(k) clearance ledger, and the patient-side translation of what each award actually signals about device pedigree, safety record, and clinical-evidence depth.
