HIFU has a strong safety profile thanks to its non-invasive, image-guided nature, but like any medical procedure it is not entirely without risk.
Why it is considered safe
Treatment is monitored in real time, energy is focused only on the target, and there is no incision, no blood loss from cutting, and usually no general anesthesia.
Possible side effects
Most are mild and temporary: lower-abdominal warmth, cramping, or skin sensitivity in the treated area. Serious complications are uncommon when patients are carefully selected.
The role of patient selection
Safety depends heavily on choosing the right candidates and treating appropriate lesions. A thorough assessment with imaging is essential before any HIFU procedure.
