Should I confirm who will perform a HIFU procedure?
Question to clarify
Before facial HIFU, what should I ask about the provider’s license, the device, treatment depth, and the response plan for pain or nerve symptoms?
Source-backed answer
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.
