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).
