Question

Lately, I have been looking for non surgical fat reduction treatments. Even though hifu is mainly advertised as skin tightner some clinics use it for fat reduction. Is it effective for fat reduction? If so, how many treatments are usually required to see significant changes and can you use it for all areas incl mons pubis? Any expert info is welcome. Thanks in advance!

When looking at Hifu for fat reduction you should be aware of how it works. Hifu is an unguided treatment unless you are using the Ultherapy machine.It is the only treatment on the market with has a guidance screen, meaning the practitioner can see what they are treating and see the depths of the skin. Without this, the practitioner does not know if they are treating tissue, fat or even bone. Therefore, you can suffer from bone bruising and may not even hit the fat pockets you are trying to treat. 
The best option for fat loss would be CoolSculpting or Accent Prime. CoolSculpting is better for larger pockets of fat loss and accent prime is more for smaller areas and a sculpting effect. CoolSculpting is FDA approved (as is Accent Prime) and is designed to freeze the fat so that the cells can be excreted through the bodies natural system. Accent Prime is a combination of Ultrasound and radio frequency which contours the body and tightens the skin. 
I would not recommend Hifu for fat reduction and I don't think you would get the results you would like.
