Ultrasound:  and increasingly important tool in aesthetic practice

Ultrasound  skin tissue  analysis is  becoming particularly relevant if you’re speaking to dermatologists who perform injectables. The major applications of ultrasound visualization during and aesthetic procedure  are identifying facial vessels, mapping the distribution of  filler, and distinguishing filler from native tissue, evaluating and, in most cases,  identification of  the nature of  filler related nodules, investigating delayed swelling, guiding injection procedures, improving management of vascular complications.
