Editorial general information

Confirm that a licensed medical professional will assess and perform the procedure, ask for the device name, and ask how treatment depth and areas will be selected. Discuss burns, pain, numbness, and nerve injury as possible complications and obtain an after-hours contact plan. Japan’s Ministry of Health states that HIFU performed by an unlicensed person can constitute unlicensed medical practice.
