Before the Focused Ultrasound Treatment

On treatment day, your head will be shaved so that nothing will interfere with the ultrasound beams. Your hair will naturally grow back after the treatment. After local numbing medication is applied, a frame will be secured to your head and an elastic cap is placed to seal the helmet, where water is circulated.

As the treatment last about 3 hours, a urinary catheter is placed so you won’t need to go to the bathroom. Your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels will be monitored throughout the procedure.
