HIFU — what to ask.
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a non-surgical treatment in which a device directs ultrasound energy into the layers beneath the skin. It is sometimes marketed as an “ultrasound face lift”.
Six questions to ask before you book
- 01
Which device would you use, and who operates it — and how were they trained on it?
- 02
What are the risks — for example burns or nerve irritation — and how would they be handled?
- 03
What result is realistic for me, when would I see it, and how long does it last?
- 04
Could you tell me who would treat me, and are they on the GMC, NMC or GDC register?
- 05
Could you send me the price before I book, including any consultation fee?
- 06
What does the first consultation involve, and is there a fee?
