Sofwave treatment: what to expect on the day
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that lifts, tones, and tightens by stimulating new collagen in the mid-dermis. Using SUPERB™ parallel-beam ultrasound with built-in SofCool™ contact cooling, it’s designed for comfort and works on all skin types. A full face/neck session takes about 30–40 minutes with little to no downtime.
During your ultrasound treatment
A clear gel is applied, then the handpiece delivers SUPERB™ parallel-beam ultrasound to the mid-dermis. You’ll feel a series of warm pulses as the device stimulates new collagen. A full face/neck session typically takes about 30–40 minutes.
Right after
Most people notice mild redness or tenderness that settles within hours. Makeup and normal activities can usually resume the same day—there’s little to no downtime.
Recovery
Right after your session: Most people have mild redness or tenderness that settles within a few hours to a day. There’s no downtime, so you can return to normal activities immediately.
Same day: You don’t need time off work or social events—skin typically looks plump and refreshed, and you can apply sunscreen and makeup as desired.
Results timeline: Improvements build as new collagen forms; most patients see the full effect by about 12 weeks, with many satisfied after a single treatment (plans vary by goals and skin quality).
If you have questions about comfort, aftercare, or scheduling, our team will personalize guidance at your visit.

Meet our Sofwave expert Michele.
That sagging or lax skin that creeps up with age can be just as frustrating as stubborn fat—especially when it softens the jawline, lowers the brows, or leaves us feeling less confident in photos or at social events. Up until recently, the only way to lift and tighten skin with real precision was through surgical facelifts or invasive procedures. While those options still have their place, a non-invasive ultrasound innovation has quickly become a patient favourite for skin rejuvenation—requiring no surgery or downtime. We’re talking about Sofwave™.
Michele, our medical aesthetician and Sofwave expert, answers some of the most common questions Oakville and Southern Ontario patients have when considering Sofwave for skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
