A <a href=\"https:\/\/dualsonicprofessional.com\/dualsonic-maximum-alpha\/\">Dualsonic Maximum Alpha<\/a> at \u20ac1,250, paired with a <a href=\"https:\/\/dualsonicprofessional.com\/protocol-hub\/\">Protocol Hub<\/a> plan from \u20ac14.99\/month, works out at about <strong>\u20ac44.64 per month over three years<\/strong> \u2014 and roughly <strong>\u20ac5 per session<\/strong> if you follow a twice-weekly plan. Here is the full arithmetic, with nothing hidden.<\/p>\n<h2>Why &#8220;cost per month&#8221; is the only number that matters<\/h2>\n<p>Most people compare a home device against a clinic by looking at the sticker price: \u20ac1,250 versus \u20ac300. On that basis the clinic wins every time, and the comparison is useless \u2014 because it compares <em>owning a device for years<\/em> against <em>renting a room for forty minutes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The honest comparison is cost per month of active treatment, and cost per session delivered. That is what this article works out. If you want the clinical background first, our <a href=\"https:\/\/dualsonicprofessional.com\/benefits\/\">benefits page<\/a> explains what focused ultrasound actually does in the skin, and the independent <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35003992\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">systematic review of micro-focused ultrasound for skin rejuvenation<\/a> published in 2022 is a good neutral starting point.<\/p>\n<h2>What a clinic actually charges<\/h2>\n<p>Aesthetic HIFU pricing in Europe sits in a fairly narrow band:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spain (Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona):<\/strong> around <strong>\u20ac200\u2013400<\/strong> for a full-face session<\/li>\n<li><strong>United Kingdom:<\/strong> around <strong>\u00a3400\u2013700<\/strong> for the equivalent treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clinics generally recommend one to two full-face sessions per year. So a maintained clinic protocol in Spain lands at roughly <strong>\u20ac400\u2013800 per year<\/strong>, or <strong>\u20ac33\u201367 per month<\/strong>, for one or two treatments annually \u2014 HIFU only. Radiofrequency, microcurrent, LED and electroporation are billed separately.<\/p>\n<h2>What the home route costs<\/h2>\n<p>There are exactly two line items, plus one consumable.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.dualsonicprofessional.com\/products\/dualsonic-maximum-alpha?utm_source=dualsonicprofessional.com&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=cost-per-month&amp;utm_content=price-table-device\">Dualsonic Maximum Alpha (Ruby or White)<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20ac1,250<\/td>\n<td>One-off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.dualsonicprofessional.com\/products\/dualsonic-maximum-alpha-skin-coach?utm_source=dualsonicprofessional.com&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=cost-per-month&amp;utm_content=price-table-hub-1m\">Protocol Hub \u2014 1 month<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20ac14.99\/month<\/td>\n<td>Subscription, cancel anytime<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.dualsonicprofessional.com\/products\/dualsonic-maximum-alpha-skin-coach?utm_source=dualsonicprofessional.com&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=cost-per-month&amp;utm_content=price-table-hub-12m\">Protocol Hub \u2014 12 months<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20ac119\/year (\u20ac9.92\/month)<\/td>\n<td>Subscription, saves \u20ac60.88<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ultrasound conductive gel<\/td>\n<td>Consumable<\/td>\n<td>Ongoing, modest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>There are no cartridges to replace.

That is roughly 104 sessions a year, or 312 over three years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u20ac1,250 device + \u20ac357 (three years of Protocol Hub at the annual rate) = \u20ac1,607 \u00f7 312 sessions = \u20ac5.15 per session.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At a clinic, 312 sessions at \u20ac200 each would be \u20ac62,400 \u2014 a number so absurd it makes the point. Nobody buys 312 clinic sessions. The realistic comparison is: the same \u20ac1,607 buys you between four and eight clinic visits over three years, or unlimited access to seven technologies at home for the same period.<\/p>\n<h2>What the home route does not replace<\/h2>\n<p>We would rather be straight about this than oversell.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Energy density.<\/strong> A clinic machine delivers more energy per shot than any home device is permitted to. Home HIFU is a slower curve, not a compressed one \u2014 expect gradual firming over 8\u201312 weeks rather than a single dramatic session. Our <a href=\"\/blog\/maximum-alpha-first-12-weeks\/\">first 12 weeks guide<\/a> sets realistic milestones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diagnosis.<\/strong> A practitioner assesses your skin. The Protocol Hub personalises a plan from what you tell it, which is not the same thing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suitability.<\/strong> HIFU is not for everyone. Pregnancy, pacemakers and other implanted devices, recent fillers, active skin disease and several medical conditions are absolute contraindications \u2014 the full list is in the <a href=\"https:\/\/dualsonicprofessional.com\/dualsonic-maximum-alpha-faq\/\">Maximum Alpha FAQ<\/a>, and it is worth reading <em>before<\/em> you buy, not after.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where the Protocol Hub changes the maths<\/h2>\n<p>A device you use twice and put in a drawer costs \u20ac1,250 per session.
