What is the Haifu procedure?

The HIFU procedure is an effective non-surgical treatment that focuses high-intensity ultrasound energy that is harmless to the body to selectively remove only the targeted lesion.

Because HIFU involves selectively treating uterine tumors using ultrasound without making an incision, the location and shape of the tumor and the patient's health must be carefully considered beforehand.

And a patient's health condition can affect the outcome of treatment. Haifu treatment follows treatment guidelines to ensure safe treatment.

What is a Haifu procedure?

How Haifu works

HIFU can only necrolyze 80% to 90% of the uterine tumor volume to prevent the powerful heat energy from damaging the endometrium.

The necrotic diseased tissue is either absorbed by the body through the lymphatic circulation or expelled from the body through the uterine lumen, and over time, the fibroids gradually shrink in size, relieving symptoms.

Precise resection

Like focusing sunlight with a magnifying glass, high-intensity ultrasound waves are focused into a small focal point, allowing for ablation of delicate areas.

Adjusting ultrasound energy

During treatment, real-time imaging allows you to compare before and after images and adjust the ultrasound energy.

Thermal energy transfer

When ultrasound waves reach the targeted layer of skin, they damage collagen and elastin fibers, which stimulates regeneration.

Benefits of Haifu Treatment

HIFU is safe with minimal complications and side effects because the high-intensity ultrasound energy selectively treats only the lesioned tissue while sparing normal tissue.

Side effects and precautions for Haifu procedures

  • 1

    Please note that this may vary depending on the individual.

  • 2

    After the procedure, you may be at risk for a first- or second-degree burn or laceration of the abdomen.

  • 3

    Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1-2 weeks after the procedure as they may increase the risk of bleeding and inflammation.

  • 4

    After your procedure, avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause heat, such as steam rooms and hot baths, for 1 week.

  • 5

    If you experience any side effects after the procedure, such as bleeding or pain, be sure to visit your doctor.

Haifu side effects

Haifu treatments are not covered by the National Health Insurance because they are non-benefit treatments, and you can claim your own private insurance instead.

Haifu is a non-invasive procedure, so you can return to your normal routine with plenty of rest for 1-2 days after treatment.
