WHERE ULTRASOUND MEETS INJECTIONS

Vascular Mapping

Ensures safe and precise administration of fillers or treatments near vascular structures.

Complication Identification

Enables early detection of complications like hematomas or necrosis.

Soft Tissue Imaging

Enhances the understanding of facial anatomy, leading to more accurate and effective aesthetic procedures.

  • Learn how to evaluate and measure the vascularity below the skin prior to injections and facial treatments for the best possible aesthetic outcomes using ultrasound imaging.
  • Assess anatomical variations to tailor treatment to individual needs. 
  • Measure the dermal layer prior to microneedling and collagen-stimulating treatments. Evaluate your injection techniques to ensure accurate product placement.
  • Learn how to precisely manage complications like vascular compressions, vascular occlusions with ultrasound guided injections and anatomy mapping.
  • Discover how high frequency ultrasound imaging in real time gives you the ability to clearly visualize the vascularity, soft tissue layers, and understand patient's facial anatomy mapping.
  • Lean how to incorporate ultrasound into your aesthetic practice from a business standpoint. Become part of supportive aesthetic ultrasound community with ongoing opportunities to expand your expertise.
 

This course provides comprehensive theoretical and practical training, offering in-depth knowledge of essential ultrasound anatomy across various facial areas to ensure safe practice in aesthetic medicine.

HOW IS ULTRASOUND USED IN AESTHETICS?

 

Ultrasound revolutionizes safety in aesthetic treatments by delivering a crystal-clear view of underlying structures, including crucial blood vessels and nerves, ensuring their precise avoidance during procedures. Additionally, practitioners can employ ultrasound to gauge dermal thickness prior to undertaking microneedling and similar treatments, thereby enabling the precise setting of instruments or tools at the appropriate depth. Through the use of high-frequency sound waves, ultrasound generates real-time imagery of internal organs and soft tissues, presenting an invaluable tool for enhancing procedural accuracy and patient safety.
