HIFU - Before and Aftercare
HIFU Aftercare
There is often a little redness after treatment. There may also be some swelling or bruising. This resolves quickly without issue. You may also feel a little tender in the treated areas which usually resolves within 2 – 3 days. You may have a headache after treatment of the forehead area; I would suggest an over the counter remedy such as paracetamol if this is troublesome.
