Yes, you can have HIFU treatments every 2 months, but this is typically only recommended for the initial stages of treatment.
Understanding HIFU Treatment Intervals
According to Benehealth:
- For optimal long-term results, it’s recommended to have two HIFU treatments in the first year.
- These initial treatments should be spaced 2-4 months apart.
- After the initial treatments, a maintenance treatment once a year is usually sufficient to maintain results.
- In specific or more difficult areas, additional treatments may be required 3 months after the first session.
Initial Treatment Phase
The two-month interval is usually applicable during the initial stage, as noted above. This allows for the initial collagen stimulation process to occur and then be further boosted with the second treatment.
Example of Initial Treatment Plan:
- Month 1: First HIFU treatment.
- Month 3: Second HIFU treatment (or possibly at month 2 for some cases)
- Subsequent Years: 1 HIFU treatment per year for maintenance.
Maintenance Phase
After the initial course of treatment, a yearly schedule helps to maintain the results. Frequent treatments beyond the initial phase are not typically required and may not improve results further.
Key Takeaways
- Initial Phase: It's common to have two HIFU sessions in the first year, with intervals of 2-4 months.
- Maintenance: Annual treatments are usually sufficient to maintain results.
- Specific Areas: If targeting difficult areas, a third treatment around the three-month mark may be considered.
- Frequency: You can have HIFU every 2 months during the initial phase but it is not recommended for maintenance treatments.
