Your First Visit
First Time Getting Sofwave?
Your first Sofwave visit starts with a clear goal and an assessment of whether ultrasound skin tightening fits it. At our Renton clinic, discuss the area you want assessed, realistic improvement, comfort options and the complete quote before deciding on treatment. Consultation and treatment are distinct appointments; confirm what you are booking.

The first visit should connect your goal, treatment area, quote, comfort plan, and follow-up. Use these questions to prepare for an individual assessment rather than expecting the same experience or result as someone else.
Confirm consultation and treatment timing
Ask whether the booked visit is an assessment only or may include treatment after suitability is confirmed. If you are still comparing brow, neck, and face coverage, explain that before choosing an appointment length. A consultation does not automatically reserve a named treatment.
Discuss comfort and preparation in advance
Tell the clinician about prior procedures and relevant health history. Ask what preparation instructions apply to you and what comfort measures are proposed. Do not assume that no numbing or no skincare changes will be needed based on another patient’s account.
Leave with a review and contact plan
Request written aftercare, a contact route for concerns, and a time to assess your response. Discuss how treatment should fit around photos, travel, or events. Ask which parts of the quote are included and what another session would cost if it is later recommended.
- Choose a Sofwave treatment area and budget
Compare targeted and combined coverage.
- Review a brow-focused assessment
Clarify brow position and other concerns.

Treatment suitability, final pricing, and follow-up are confirmed individually. Results vary.
Before Your Appointment
- 1
Bring your goals, upcoming event dates and questions about the treatment area.
- 2
Share your medical history, medications, implants, previous aesthetic procedures and any recent skin changes with your provider.

During Your Treatment
Goal and suitability assessment
Your provider assesses the concern and explains what Sofwave may address, its limits, risks and alternative approaches. Ask whether another option would better fit your goal.
Area, price and consent
Confirm the exact treatment boundaries, price and expected follow-up before consenting. Brow, face and neck options should not be assumed to include the same areas.
Preparation and comfort plan
Discuss the sensations you may experience and the available comfort options. Your provider explains preparation and how to communicate discomfort during treatment.
Treatment when appropriate
If you proceed, your provider performs treatment according to your assessed plan. Timing depends on the area and appointment scope; ask how much time to allow.
Aftercare and progress review
Before leaving, obtain written instructions, a contact for concerns and a plan for reviewing your response. Ask which changes need prompt clinical attention.
After Your Treatment
Follow the written aftercare plan rather than assuming every activity or skincare product can resume immediately.
Ask what redness, swelling or discomfort is expected for your situation and when to contact the clinic.
Confirm sun protection, skincare, makeup and exercise guidance with your provider.
Agree on a review timeline and how progress will be assessed before deciding on additional treatment.
