What Is Ultrasound-Guided Aesthetics?
In ultrasound-guided aesthetics, the provider uses a handheld ultrasound scanner to look beneath the skin before, during, or after selected procedures.
Depending on the case, a trained provider may review facial tissue planes, map relevant vessels with Doppler, assess prior filler, or visualize a needle or cannula during a procedure.
Ultrasound adds information; it does not eliminate procedural risk or replace training, anatomy knowledge, sterile technique, informed consent, or clinical judgment.
Who This Treatment Is For
- Patients planning filler or biostimulator treatments
- Clients with filler from previous treatments
- Patients with questions after a past injectable
- Treatments in areas where vessel mapping is useful
- Clients who value a more visual, informed plan
Consultation Required
Ultrasound is not a step promised with every injectable. Your provider decides whether imaging is useful, what it shows, and how findings affect your plan. Only trained, authorized providers scan or perform ultrasound-guided procedures under AestheteMed protocols.
