Some patients are not suitable for HIFU Eclip Therapy. The treatment should be avoided if:
- You have aesthetic threads, implants or recent dermal fillers in the treatment area.
- You are pregnant.

HIFU is considered very safe if performed by a trained and qualified professional. Some side effects may include:
- Slight redness or swelling
- Light tingling sensation of the treated area
- Treated area may appear flushed/red
- Temporary numbness or bruising (rarely)
HIFU Eclip Therapy is usually well tolerated and you can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. A small amount of mineral make up is okay to apply. Avoid saunas, steam baths and exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen for a week after treatment.
