Sofwave skin tightening near Pickering is available at Victoria Rose Aesthetics on Altona Road, where area prices listed on the pricing page in October 2026 run from $1,400 for the eyebrows to $3,200 for the full face and neck. Sofwave sends parallel ultrasound beams to a fixed depth of 1.5 mm in the mid-dermis, which prompts the skin to build new collagen. The base plan is a single session of 30 to 45 minutes, with early lifting often noticeable by weeks 6 to 8 and a peak at 3 to 6 months. A consultation comes first, where the zones are mapped and a written quote is set.

How Sofwave works: parallel ultrasound at 1.5 mm

Sofwave is built on SUPERB technology, short for Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam. The handpiece sends several parallel ultrasound beams into the skin at once, and each beam delivers controlled thermal energy to a depth of exactly 1.5 mm. That depth sits in the mid-dermis, the zone where collagen forms.

The heat creates a controlled thermal injury in that layer. The skin responds with a wound-healing process that builds new collagen and elastin over the following months, and that new structure is what firms and lifts the skin.

Integrated cooling protects the surface while the energy works below it. The treatment uses no needles and no laser. The practitioner moves the handpiece across treatment zones mapped before the session, so the energy lands only where the plan places it.

Which areas Sofwave treats, and how the area sets the price

The Sofwave page names four treatment areas, all on the face and neck. Each addresses loose and sagging skin where the laxity sits in the dermis, within reach of the 1.5 mm treatment depth.

Price follows the area treated, from the eyebrows alone up to the full face with the neck. The practitioner maps zones at consultation from two measures, skin laxity and tissue thickness, and that map decides which listed area fits. Crepey texture on the front of the neck is covered in more detail on the neck lines and tech neck page.

  • The brow and forehead margin, for a descended brow
  • The mid-face and cheeks
  • The skin along the jawline
  • The front of the neck, including crepey texture

One session, then months of collagen building

A Sofwave session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and a single session is the base plan. The result depends on collagen the skin builds in the months after the appointment, which is why the change appears gradually.

Patients with more significant laxity may benefit from two sessions in the first year, spaced 3 to 6 months apart. The practitioner raises this at consultation when the skin calls for it. No device stops the skin from ageing, and no set amount of lift can be promised. The timeline below is the typical pattern.

  • Same day: mild warmth and brief redness for an hour or two, with normal activities and makeup the same day.
  • Weeks 6 to 8: early lifting is often noticeable.
  • Months 3 to 6: results peak as the new collagen matures.
  • 12 to 18 months: the typical length of the result, with an annual maintenance session recommended.

What the consultation sets before treatment

A consultation comes first. The practitioner assesses skin laxity and tissue thickness, maps the treatment zones, and explains a realistic lifting timeline. The treatment plan and a written quote are set at that visit, and a skin analysis can form part of the assessment.

The pricing page lists area prices only. It does not say what else an area price covers, so ask at consultation what the written quote includes.

After treatment, the clinic schedules a 3-month review to assess the change. By then early lifting has often appeared, and the review is where a second session or annual maintenance gets planned.

If the assessment shows Sofwave is the wrong fit, the clinic offers other tightening options, and the practitioner advises whether Fotona 4D or RF microneedling suits your anatomy and goals instead.

Who should wait before booking Sofwave

Sofwave delivers heat into the dermis, so the practitioner screens health history at consultation and makes the final decision. The situations below mean postponing treatment or raising the question first.

The full screening detail, along with how the tightening technologies differ, is in our guide to how to choose skin tightening in Pickering.

  • Pregnancy means postponing treatment.
  • An active infection or open lesions in the treatment area mean waiting until the skin has healed.
  • Metal implants or a pacemaker in the treatment field need to be raised at consultation before any plan is set.
  • Anyone who needs a visible change within days should plan further ahead, since new collagen takes weeks to form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas can Sofwave treat near Pickering?+

The Sofwave page at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering names four areas: the brow and forehead margin where a brow has descended, the mid-face and cheeks, the skin along the jawline, and the front of the neck, including crepey texture. The practitioner maps the treatment zones at consultation from skin laxity and tissue thickness, and that map sets which listed area applies.

How much does Sofwave cost for the face or neck in Pickering?+

As listed on the pricing page in October 2026, Sofwave at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering is $2,200 for the half face, $2,800 for the full face, $2,200 for the neck, $2,900 for the half face and neck, and $3,200 for the full face and neck. Prices are subject to change, and the plan and written quote are set at a consultation.

What does SUPERB technology mean?+

SUPERB stands for Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam. It is the technology inside Sofwave: several parallel ultrasound beams fire at the same time and deliver controlled thermal energy at exactly 1.5 mm, in the mid-dermis where collagen forms. The skin responds by building new collagen and elastin over the following months. Integrated cooling protects the surface, and no needles or laser are used.

What happens right after a Sofwave session?+

Mild warmth and brief redness are expected for an hour or two after a Sofwave session. Normal activities and makeup can resume the same day. The visible change comes later, as new collagen forms: early lifting is often noticeable by weeks 6 to 8, and results peak at 3 to 6 months. The clinic schedules a review at 3 months to assess the change.

What is the 3-month Sofwave review?+

The 3-month review is a follow-up visit the clinic schedules after a Sofwave session. By that point early lifting has often appeared, and the new collagen is still maturing as results move toward their peak at 3 to 6 months. The practitioner assesses the change, and the review is where a second session in the first year or annual maintenance is discussed.

Is Sofwave Health Canada-approved?+

Victoria Rose Aesthetics describes Sofwave as a Health Canada-approved ultrasound platform for skin lifting and tightening. It heats the mid-dermis at 1.5 mm with parallel ultrasound beams, which prompts new collagen and elastin. Approval of a device does not mean it suits every patient, so a consultation in Pickering comes first to assess skin laxity and tissue thickness.

What is assessed at a Sofwave consultation?+

At a Sofwave consultation in Pickering, the practitioner assesses skin laxity and tissue thickness, maps the treatment zones, and explains a realistic lifting timeline. The plan and a written quote are set at that visit. If Sofwave is not the right match, the practitioner advises on other tightening options at the clinic, such as Fotona 4D or RF microneedling.
