MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is an incisionless procedure, but like any medical treatment, it carries potential risks. Temporary side effects may include numbness or tingling, balance difficulties, headache, or dizziness. Although uncommon, some side effects can persist after treatment.

One advantage of focused ultrasound is that it does not require an incision or implanted hardware, reducing the risk of infection or device-related complications. Our team reviews the potential benefits and risks of focused ultrasound in detail during your evaluation so you can make a confident, informed decision. Our physicians continually refine their techniques through ongoing research and clinical training to provide safe, effective, and evidence-based care.
