HIFU Procedure

Here are the simple steps of HIFU treatment performed at the sessions of HIFU therapy:

Thorough cleansing of the targeted area- The practitioner does this to make the skin free of impurities and skin products.
Numbing of the skin (if needed)- A topical numbing cream or gel is applied by the practitioner to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.
Application of ultrasound gel and HIFU device- A layer of ultrasound gel is applied first and then the HIFU device at the right setting is pressed against the targeted skin to deliver ultrasound energy in short pulses for roughly half to 1 hour, depending on the targeted area size.
