How long does HIFU take to work?

HIFU doesn’t destroy tissue instantly. Instead, the treated cells break down gradually over several weeks. Because of this, it can take a little time before you notice the full benefit of treatment. Your consultant will monitor your progress with follow-up appointments and imaging, which helps them assess how well the treatment is working and whether any further therapy is needed. Most patients start to see changes within a few weeks, with improvements continuing over the following months.
