Ultrasound
Want to see what's going on beneath your skin?
We use a special type of ultrasound to get detailed pictures of your face. 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.
Ultrasound-guided dissolving: This means we can precisely target and dissolve unwanted filler, making the process safer and more comfortable.
Why is this helpful?
It lets us give you the best possible treatment for your skin goals!
Dr. Lisa Hackett, a qualified radiographer sonographer and expert in ultrasound imaging, provides this service, which normally takes 2 hours.
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. This allows us to see old fillers, granulomas, internal scarring, and other structural elements of your skin. By understanding what’s going on beneath the surface, we can customize treatments that precisely target your unique skin goals for optimal results.
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.
