Sofwave™ in Vancouver
Lift and firm the skin with Sofwave, an ultrasound treatment that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production and improves mild to moderate laxity.
As collagen and elastin decline over time, the skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity. Sofwave™ is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to support collagen production at a precise depth within the skin. By delivering controlled heat to the mid-dermis, it stimulates a natural regenerative response. This process supports structural integrity within the skin and contributes to improved firmness and elasticity over time. Sofwave™ is often incorporated into a comprehensive plan to support subtle lifting and improve overall skin quality.

How does Sofwave™ work?
Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, where collagen is formed. This controlled heating triggers the skin’s natural repair process, encouraging new collagen and elastin production over time. The treatment targets the mid-dermis while protecting the skin’s surface, allowing for effective stimulation without significant downtime. As collagen rebuilds, the skin appears firmer, smoother, and more supported.
What to expect during your treatment
A Sofwave™ treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. A handheld device is used to deliver ultrasound energy while built-in cooling helps protect the skin’s surface. Patients may feel brief pulses of warmth during the treatment. Most find it well tolerated. While some patients benefit from a single session, a personalised plan may include repeat treatments based on individual goals.
What does Sofwave™ treat?
Sofwave™ is used to address early signs of aging related to collagen loss. It can help improve skin laxity, fine lines, and crepiness while supporting overall skin firmness. Common treatment areas include the face, brows, jawline, and neck. It is particularly well suited for patients seeking subtle lifting and structural support without surgery or more invasive procedures.
Recovery and results
Sofwave™️ requires little to no downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically resolves within a few hours. Results develop gradually as collagen production increases, with visible improvements often seen over 8 to 12 weeks. Ongoing dermal remodelling contributes to continued improvement in skin quality over several months. Results can last up to a year, particularly when maintained as part of a comprehensive, medically guided treatment plan.
