Ultrasound
Support Deeper Skin Understanding
We offer high-frequency ultrasound imaging for aesthetic purposes, which may assist in visualising soft tissue layers to inform treatment planning. This helps us see things like:
Old fillers: We can see where they are and how they’ve changed over time. This is helpful for safely dissolving any filler that has migrated (moved) from where it was initially injected.
Granulomas: These are little bumps that can sometimes form after treatments.
Internal scarring: This can happen after injuries or procedures.
And more! We can get a really good understanding of how your skin is structured.
In some cases, ultrasound imaging may support aesthetic consultations by helping visualize existing filler placement prior to further cosmetic decisions. Prescription-only treatments are discussed privately with a medical professional.
Why is this helpful?
This service is designed to support informed treatment decisions in aesthetic care based on each client’s unique needs.
Dr. Lisa Hackett, a qualified radiographer sonographer and expert in ultrasound imaging, provides this service, which normally takes 2 hours.
Disclaimer: Ultrasound imaging provided at Lé Grand Medispa is for cosmetic planning purposes only and is not used for medical diagnosis or treatment. Any reference to filler correction or product use refers to prescription-only treatments provided solely at the discretion of a qualified medical practitioner following consultation.
What is an Ultrasound Facial Treatment, and how does it work?
An Ultrasound Facial Treatment uses advanced ultrasound imaging to capture detailed images beneath the skin’s surface. Ultrasound may assist in visualising areas of tissue irregularity or previous filler placement. All assessments are conducted by qualified professionals and are used to support treatment planning—not for diagnostic purposes. By understanding what’s going on beneath the surface, ultrasound imaging may help guide individualized aesthetic treatment approaches. Results vary based on individual response and practitioner recommendations.
How can ultrasound help with fillers and other skin treatments?
Ultrasound imaging allows us to locate existing fillers and assess any changes over time. If you have fillers that have migrated or need to be dissolved, we can use ultrasound-guided dissolving to precisely target and safely remove unwanted filler. This technique minimizes risks and enhances the overall safety and comfort of the process.
Who performs the Ultrasound Facial Treatment, and how long does it take?
This treatment is provided by Dr. Lisa Hackett, a qualified radiographer sonographer and ultrasound imaging expert. Each session takes approximately 2 hours, allowing us ample time to thoroughly assess your skin structure and provide a targeted treatment plan.
What is facial ultrasound imaging?
Facial ultrasound uses sound waves to create visual representations of tissue beneath the skin’s surface. It may assist in visualising filler placement and help guide aesthetic planning.
How is this different from medical imaging?
This service is non-diagnostic and intended to assist with cosmetic planning only. It does not replace medical imaging used to assess injuries or health conditions.
Can this help with filler correction?
In some cases, yes. Ultrasound can support filler location prior to dissolving procedures. This is offered only after consultation and when deemed clinically suitable.
