Ultrasound as an Educational Tool in Facial Aesthetic Injections

Injection therapies for cosmetic enhancement, particularly antiaging treatments, are increasingly popular. However, once the needle has penetrated the skin, the injector is “blind” to the depth and exact location of the needle tip. Duplex ultrasound use before and after treatment can allow the injec...

description Injection therapies for cosmetic enhancement, particularly antiaging treatments, are increasingly popular. However, once the needle has penetrated the skin, the injector is “blind” to the depth and exact location of the needle tip. Duplex ultrasound use before and after treatment can allow the injector to visualize in real time the individual anatomy, thereby improving and confirming the accuracy of the injections through visualization of both the target layer and the vital structures to be avoided. Previously injected permanent filler treatments can also be visualized. In this way, ultrasound use becomes an important educational tool in promoting “safer” facial injection therapy. It shifts static anatomy to mobile real-time facial anatomy, thereby establishing itself as an invaluable learning tool through follow-up imaging, with subsequent optimization in techniques and patient outcomes.
