Ultrasound

At Clinetix, ultrasound is an integral part of our commitment to precision, safety, and excellence in aesthetic medicine. As a globally recognised, medically-led clinic, we continuously invest in advanced technologies that elevate both patient outcomes and clinical standards. Ultrasound allows us to visualise underlying facial anatomy in real time—something that cannot be achieved through surface assessment alone. By mapping key structures such as blood vessels, tissue planes, and previous filler placement, we are able to plan and deliver treatments with a level of accuracy that supports consistently natural, refined results.

This approach is particularly valuable in complex or previously treated areas, where individual anatomy can vary significantly. Rather than relying solely on textbook landmarks, ultrasound enables a personalised, patient-specific understanding of the face, guiding safer and more effective treatment decisions.

Ultrasound Facial Scanning

We also offer dedicated ultrasound facial scanning as part of our consultation process. This involves a detailed assessment of the facial soft tissues and vascular anatomy, creating a bespoke “map” of your unique structure. By identifying the position of important vessels and assessing tissue quality, we can design a treatment plan that minimises risk while maximising outcome. It also allows us to make more informed decisions around product choice, placement, and technique.

Ultimately, ultrasound enhances both safety and sophistication—ensuring that every treatment at Clinetix is grounded in knowledge, precision, and a deep understanding of your individual anatomy.

Building Collagen and Elastin with Ultrasound

We’re also routinely using micro-focused ultrasound technology to deliver the revolutionary Ultherapy® treatment.

No needles, no toxins…just really natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facial ultrasound is like having x-ray eyes to see underneath the surface of your skin. It allows your practitioner to see the layers of tissue and blood vessels under your skin, prior to administering injectable procedures. The ultrasound device gives your practitioner a detailed understanding of how best to use toxin and dermal fillers for natural-looking results.

Every patient has unique anatomy and, so, underneath the skin everyone's tissues and blood supply are different. Using ultrasound as an integral part of your toxin or filler treatment means that you practitioner can be really precise when planning exactly where to inject. Clinetix is proud to be leading the way in the routine use of ultrasound technology to provide safe, consistent toxin and dermal filler treatments. By creating a plan tailored precisely for your own unique anatomy, injectable treatments can be delivered more safely.

The main advantages of using facial ultrasound are:

  1. Your practitioner can see under the skin before injecting
  2. This allows your practitioner to create a vascular map of the treatment zone
  3. Your treatment plan is then tailored to your unique facial anatomy
  4. You will get better aesthetic results due to precise filler injection points
  5. There is less risk of common side effects such as localised swelling or bruising
  6. Consequently, there will be little or no downtime
  7. Your risk of having any complications is significantly lowered

Having ultrasound diagnostics prior to your treatment will reduce the risk of common side effects such as swelling and bruising. This is on top of the measures we already take to minimise downtime, such as the use of invisible needles. Therefore, you can expect to have little or no downtime following toxin or dermal filler treatment at Clinetix.

Facial ultrasound diagnostics are currently available at Clinetix Bothwell, Clinetix Glasgow West End and Clinetix Grampian clinics with Dr Emma, Dr Simon and Dr Paula.

Facial ultrasound diagnostics are currently included in the price of your toxin or filler treatment, as added value, for increased patient safety. Guidance on toxin and filler prices can be found on our website price list.

The first step is to book in for a Virtual Medical Consultation. Following this, your proposed treatment plan will be quoted to you (without obligation). When you arrive to have your in-clinic toxin or filler treatment, a more precise plan will be tailored to your own unique anatomy as you practitioner can create a vascular map of the treatment zone. This helps avoid complications and side effects as your practitioner is able to pinpoint precise injection zones and avoid damaging blood vessels (which is a common cause of bruising).To start your treatment journey, Book a Virtual Medical Consultation.
