Ultrasound is a precise and non-invasive method for analyzing the anatomy and structure of superficial tissues of the body and face in real time. Specifically, it allows for detailed mapping of the vascular system, including its anatomical variations.
This technique allows for the identification of muscle position and assessment of the aging state of both superficial and deep adipose tissue.
An accurate ultrasound examination increases the safety of injection treatments, allowing procedures to be tailored to each patient’s anatomical variations.
Knowing the layout of vascular structures is essential when using dermal fillers, as it prevents adverse events such as skin nodules, necrosis, and, in severe cases, blindness.
In aesthetic medicine, ultrasound enhances the visibility of vascular mobility and provides a clear image of the tissue, allowing for more precise and safer procedures. Furthermore, it allows for the monitoring of filler behavior after application, optimizing results.
It is a compact yet essential tool which, if used correctly, can make a difference in aesthetic medicine.
