HIFU for the body
Body HIFU is available for assessment of localized skin laxity. The specific area and realistic degree of change are agreed during consultation.
Is it right for me?
Selected mild body laxity may be assessed. A wish for major skin removal or substantial weight loss does not match this treatment’s purpose.
Open or irritated skin, implants or metal in the area, previous procedures, altered sensation and medical history require review against the intended use of the actual equipment.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Evidence for body ultrasound depends on the body area, device and whether the intended target is laxity or fat. Face and neck tightening studies cannot be used to predict body results.
Skin tightening and fat reduction are different aims and require different assessment. No whole-body slimming, weight loss or guaranteed size reduction is promised. Significant excess skin may need a surgical opinion.
Risks to understand.
Tenderness, swelling or altered sensation may occur. Burns, nerve effects and unwanted contour changes are possible. The assessment and planned treatment area matter.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
After assessing the area, Dr. Roy explains whether focused ultrasound is suitable. Gel and a handpiece are used to deliver the planned treatment; comfort measures and follow-up are discussed.
Recovery
Temporary tenderness, redness, swelling or altered sensation may occur. Recovery varies by area and treatment plan, and complications can require longer follow-up.
Results and review
Any tightening develops gradually over several months. Results are variable and do not equal the correction of a surgical lift.
Number of visits
An initial treatment, if suitable, is followed by enough time to assess healing and response. Repeat treatment is considered only after review; there is no universal annual HIFU requirement.
