Accurate and safe diagnosis for the face and superficial tissues using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology

At Clínica Áureo, we perform high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound examinations for the assessment of the face, neck, and other superficial tissues of the body. This medical imaging technique allows real-time visualization of anatomical structures such as muscles, blood vessels, glands, subcutaneous tissue, cysts, lipomas, and other soft tissue lesions without the use of radiation and in a completely painless manner.

Ultrasound has become an essential tool for both medical diagnosis and the planning and follow-up of aesthetic medicine treatments. Thanks to the high-definition images obtained, it is possible to achieve a more precise, personalized, and safer assessment of each patient.

At our clinic in Palma de Mallorca, we use high-resolution ultrasound technology to complement the clinical examination and obtain detailed information that is not always visible through simple observation or palpation. Our Clarius L20 HD3 high-resolution ultrasound system enables diagnostic assessment of the face, neck, superficial tissues, and dermal fillers with a high level of accuracy and safety.

What is high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound?

Diagnostic ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to generate real-time images of the body's internal structures.

Unlike other diagnostic techniques, it does not use ionizing radiation, is completely safe, and allows tissues to be examined dynamically during the assessment.

High-frequency probes are particularly suitable for the analysis of superficial structures, providing excellent visualization of facial anatomy, the neck, and other areas of the body where a high level of detail is required.

What are the benefits of high-resolution ultrasound?

High-resolution ultrasound offers numerous advantages for both diagnosis and the planning of medical and aesthetic treatments:

  • • Non-invasive technique.

  • • Radiation-free.

  • • Immediate results.

  • • Painless examination.

  • • Real-time visualization.

  • • Greater diagnostic accuracy.

  • • Personalized anatomical assessment.

  • • Monitoring of lesions and treatment progress.

  • • Increased safety in medical and aesthetic medicine procedures.


Which areas can be examined using diagnostic ultrasound?

High-resolution ultrasound can be used to assess multiple superficial anatomical regions.

FACE

Facial ultrasound allows the evaluation of:

  • • Facial arteries and veins.

  • • Facial expression muscles.

  • • Subcutaneous tissue.

  • • Superficial nerves.

  • • Salivary glands.

  • • Cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions.

  • • Dermal fillers.

  • • Inflammatory processes.


Facial ultrasound enables a precise assessment of each patient's anatomy, identification of vascular structures, evaluation of soft tissues, and analysis of dermal fillers. For this reason, it has become an increasingly valuable tool in both medical diagnosis and advanced aesthetic medicine.

It is particularly useful for understanding each patient's unique anatomy and performing accurate assessments before or after specific treatments.

NECK

Ultrasound examination of the neck allows the evaluation of:

  • • Salivary glands.

  • • Lymph nodes.

  • • Enlarged lymph nodes.

  • • Cervical cysts.

  • • Lipomas.

  • • Soft tissue lesions.


SUPERFICIAL BODY TISSUES

In addition to the face and neck, ultrasound can be used to assess other superficial areas of the body:

  • • Arms.

  • • Legs.

  • • Trunk.

  • • Scars.

  • • Subcutaneous nodules.

  • • Lipomas.

  • • Cysts.

  • • Soft tissue lesions.

  • • Localized inflammation.


This type of examination is also known as soft tissue ultrasound and allows the assessment of localized abnormalities in superficial tissues without the need for more complex imaging tests in a wide variety of clinical situations.

Applications of ultrasound in aesthetic medicine

Ultrasound has become a highly valuable tool in modern aesthetic medicine.

It allows practitioners to understand the patient's anatomy with greater precision and improve the safety of numerous procedures.

Its main applications include:

Assessment prior to aesthetic treatments

Before performing certain procedures, ultrasound allows the identification of blood vessels, relevant anatomical structures, and individual characteristics that may influence treatment planning.

Evaluation of dermal fillers

The high resolution of the Clarius L20 HD3 system allows precise identification of previously injected fillers, assessment of their location, and analysis of associated changes, providing valuable information for clinical decision-making.

This makes it possible to:

  • • Identify the presence of hyaluronic acid fillers.
  • • Assess product distribution.
  • • Detect possible migration.
  • • Plan corrective treatments when necessary.

Diagnosis of complications

Ultrasound is also useful for evaluating:

  • • Nodules.
  • • Fibrosis.
  • • Persistent swelling.
  • • Inflammatory reactions.
  • • Alterations related to previous aesthetic procedures.

High-resolution ultrasound technology

At Clínica Áureo, we perform our examinations using the Clarius L20 HD3 ultrasound system, a high-frequency ultrasound device specifically designed for the assessment of superficial structures.

Its exceptional resolution allows detailed visualization of facial anatomy, soft tissues, superficial blood vessels, salivary glands, dermal fillers used in aesthetic medicine, and other anatomical structures relevant to diagnosis and treatment planning.

The image quality obtained facilitates more accurate patient assessments, improves diagnostic capabilities, and contributes to greater safety in medical and aesthetic medicine procedures.

Thanks to real-time visualization, it is possible to evaluate each patient's anatomy and accurately monitor lesions, soft tissue abnormalities, and previous treatments.

How is the examination performed?

The examination is carried out in the clinic and typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

During the procedure:

1. A conductive gel is applied to the skin.

2. The ultrasound probe is placed over the area to be examined.

3. Images are displayed in real time.

4. The physician interprets the findings during the consultation.

No special preparation is required, and patients can immediately return to their normal daily activities.

When is diagnostic ultrasound recommended?

High-resolution ultrasound may be recommended in situations such as:

  • • Appearance of lumps or nodules.
  • • Persistent inflammation.
  • • Localized pain.
  • • Assessment of superficial lesions.
  • • Evaluation of salivary glands.
  • • Assessment of lipomas or cysts.
  • • Planning aesthetic medicine treatments.
  • • Evaluation of dermal fillers.
  • • Clinical follow-up of specific lesions.

What is high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound used for?

High-resolution diagnostic ultrasound allows the assessment of the face, neck, and other superficial tissues of the body to identify cysts, lipomas, enlarged lymph nodes, salivary gland disorders, inflammation, soft tissue lesions, and dermal fillers.

In addition, it helps plan aesthetic medicine treatments and provides more accurate follow-up through real-time imaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
