HOCATT therapy is a very safe treatment but should only be performed by properly trained healthcare providers, such as with any medical treatment, as there are some potential risks and side effects that should be avoided. To ensure that it is a safe treatment option, patients are encouraged to find a reputable provider that has experience in administering the therapy. It is also important to consult with the healthcare professional to discuss your medical history and any existing underlying health conditions to ensure that it is a safe and suitable treatment option. At this point, any allergies or sensitivities should also be disclosed. The healthcare professional performing the HOCATT treatment will provide instructions before, during, and after the treatment that should be closely followed to further ensure that it remains a safe and effective treatment option. Common side effects may include irritation of the skin, mild discomfort during the procedure, as well as allergic reactions to the substances that are used in the treatment.
