Sofwave
Sofwave is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses next-generation ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and lift the skin from within. At Lougheed Laser Centre in Burnaby, Sofwave treatments are performed by our medical team and tailored to your specific areas of concern across the face, neck, and body.
What Is Sofwave™?
Sofwave delivers focused ultrasound energy into the mid-dermis, the layer of skin where collagen and elastin are produced. By heating this layer precisely without disrupting the skin's surface, Sofwave triggers the body's natural collagen renewal process. The result is progressive skin tightening, lifting, and smoothing that develops naturally over the weeks and months following treatment.
Because the treatment is entirely non-invasive and requires no needles or incisions, it is well suited to patients looking for meaningful skin improvement without surgery or significant recovery time. Sofwave is safe for all skin tones.
What It Helps With
- Skin Laxity: Tightens and lifts skin that has lost firmness on the face, neck, and body
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of lines through collagen stimulation in the mid-dermis
- Brow and Forehead: Lifts a heavy or drooping brow for a more open, refreshed appearance
- Jawline Definition: Firms and defines the jawline and lower face
