HIFU machine:(questions and answers)
1.Is there any downtime?
HIFU treatment is an entirely noninvasive procedure and as such, there is no downtime. You are able to return to your normal activities right away, and there are no special measures you need to take.
2.Will I feel the ultrasound during the treatment
Yes. What you are feeling during the treatment is actually tiny amounts of focused ultrasound energy being deposited below the surface of the skin.
3.What does it feel like?
Patients have noted there can be some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being delivered, but it is temporary and a positive signal that the collagenbuilding process has been
initiated.
4.Is HIFU treatment painful?

This is temporary and a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Patients typically leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come!
5.Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
