Sofwave Treatment Areas
What Sofwave Treats
Brow Ptosis and Forehead Laxity
Sofwave's lifting effect along the forehead and brow margin raises a descended brow, opens the eye area, and improves upper face laxity, a non-surgical brow lift with zero downtime.
Treatments+
Ultrasound energy along the forehead and brow firms the upper face and lifts a descended brow, opening the eye area. The lift builds over months.
Causes+
As collagen and elasticity fade with age, the support under the brow weakens and it drifts lower.
Sofwave Results
What to expect, from your session to peak results
Immediate (Day 1)
Day 1 · zero downtime
The treatment is comfortable and there is no downtime. You may notice mild warmth and brief redness for an hour or two afterward. You can return to all normal activities right away, including applying makeup.
Months 1–3
Months 1-3 · collagen builds
New collagen begins forming in the mid-dermis and the skin progressively firms and tightens. Most patients notice early lifting by around weeks six to eight as collagen density increases.
Peak Results (Months 3–6)
Months 3-6 · peak results
The lifting and tightening effect reaches its peak as the new collagen fully matures. Results from a single session typically hold for twelve to eighteen months, which is why an annual maintenance session is recommended.

Everything you need to know about Sofwave non-surgical facelift before your appointment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
Both use ultrasound energy for skin tightening. Sofwave's SUPERB™ technology delivers multiple simultaneous parallel beams at a precise 1.5mm mid-dermal depth, which gives an even energy distribution. Many patients find the treatment comfortable, and the integrated cooling helps manage the warmth throughout. At your consultation your practitioner can explain how Sofwave fits your skin and goals.
Sofwave targets the mid-dermis at 1.5mm with ultrasound, optimal for structural lifting collagen. Fotona 4D uses laser energy across four modes including an intraoral component, addressing the skin from multiple depths simultaneously. Both are excellent. Sofwave is often preferred for patients who want a dedicated lifting treatment; Fotona 4D for patients who also want surface texture refinement in the same session. Your practitioner can help you decide which suits your goals best.
Most patients achieve excellent results from a single annual session. Patients with more significant laxity may benefit from two sessions in the first year, spaced 3–6 months apart, before transitioning to annual maintenance.
Sofwave's integrated cooling system helps keep the treatment comfortable. Most patients describe a warm, occasionally prickling sensation that is well managed by the cooling.
Early lifting improvement is often noticeable by weeks 6–8. Peak results are established at 3–6 months as new collagen matures. We include a complimentary 3-month follow-up to assess your response and plan your maintenance schedule.
Results from a Sofwave session typically last 12–18 months. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to continuously support mid-dermal collagen quality and sustain the lifting effect over the long term.
Sofwave does not cause fat loss and is not designed to reduce fat. The SUPERB ultrasound energy is delivered precisely at 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis, which is the collagen-formation zone. Subcutaneous fat sits much deeper, typically 4 to 10mm below the surface, well outside the Sofwave treatment plane. Patients sometimes confuse Sofwave with focused-ultrasound fat-reduction devices, but these are separate technologies with different depths and goals. Sofwave tightens and lifts skin on the face, neck, and submental area without affecting facial fat pads, which is clinically important because preserving facial volume helps the result look natural. Your practitioner maps your treatment zones and the expected lifting response at your consultation, to the standard Victoria sets.
No, Sofwave does not melt fat. Sofwave uses SUPERB parallel ultrasound beams calibrated to deposit energy at exactly 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis, which is the layer responsible for new collagen formation. Fat-reduction devices operate at much deeper tissue planes and use different ultrasound parameters. Sofwave was developed and Health Canada-approved as a skin tightening and lifting platform for the face, neck, and submental area, not as a body-contouring or fat-dissolving treatment. For patients seeking jawline definition where laxity is the issue, Sofwave tightens the skin envelope without disturbing the underlying fat pads that give the face its natural shape. Your practitioner will assess whether Sofwave addresses your concern or whether a different protocol is indicated.
Yes, Sofwave is a Health Canada-approved ultrasound platform with clinical evidence supporting measurable skin lifting and tightening on the brow, submental area, neck, and lower face. The SUPERB technology delivers ultrasound energy at the precise mid-dermal depth where collagen remodeling occurs, and biopsy studies have demonstrated new collagen formation in the months following treatment. Most patients see early lifting changes by weeks 6 to 8, with peak results between 3 and 6 months as the collagen matrix matures. Results typically last 12 to 18 months from a single session. Outcomes depend on your starting laxity, tissue thickness, age, and how your collagen responds. Your practitioner will assess your candidacy and explain the expected response timeline at your consultation, to the standard Victoria sets.
Sofwave uses SUPERB technology, which stands for Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam, to deliver multiple parallel ultrasound beams that converge at exactly 1.5mm depth in the mid-dermis. That depth is the precise collagen-formation zone, so the controlled thermal energy triggers a wound-healing response that produces new collagen, elastin, and structural proteins over the following months. An integrated cooling system protects the surface skin throughout treatment. The handpiece is moved systematically across mapped treatment zones on the face, neck, or submental area in a single session. A trained VRA practitioner performs the treatment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, to the standard Victoria sets.
