The invention relates to an ultrasound probe having a tilted treatment angle in an arrangement for ultrasound treatment of a patient. The probe has a front portion adapted to be placed at, against or in an object to be treated and is arranged to emit an ultrasound field having an intensity maximum located in the object for heating thereof. The focus is displaced an angle (alpha) from the longitudinal direction of the probe and the probe is rotatable in order to increase the treated volume.
