Ultrasound Facial Mapping
in Salt Lake City
At Nuance, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction above all else. We were among the first in Utah to adopt point-of-care ultrasound for dermal fillers because we understand that every face is anatomically unique.
While the industry standard has historically relied on "blind" injections, our team uses the Aura 3D imaging camera and handheld ultrasound to map your blood vessels, nerves, and muscle layers before a single needle touches your skin. We do it well because our 100+ years of collective experience is backed by the most advanced diagnostic tools available today.
We visualize your arteries and veins in real-time to significantly reduce the risk of vascular complications.
Ensure your filler is placed in the exact tissue plane required for natural-looking volume and lift.
Ultrasound allows us to identify and precisely dissolve old or migrated filler from previous treatments elsewhere.
Led by our on-site MD, this technology ensures your treatment meets the highest medical-grade safety standards.
Injectable Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to create a live "map" of the structures beneath your skin. In the world of medical aesthetics, it acts as a GPS for your provider. Rather than relying solely on general anatomical knowledge, we use this technology to see exactly where your blood vessels are located. This allows us to offer both Vascular Mapping (finding the safe zones) and Real-Time Guidance (watching the filler enter the correct space) to ensure an outcome that is as safe as it is beautiful.
At Nuance, we use the Clarius Ultrasound L20 Hd3 to map the face’s vascular routes. This ultrasound device is a proven method to improve the safety of hyaluronic acid filler treatment. The Clarius Ultrasound L20 Hd3 is the world’s best and only ultra-high frequency ultrasound in a wireless scanner. For consistent and safe outcomes, your provider will see clear imaging of their skin, vessels, muscles, and facia.
The Clarius L20Hd3 is a popular choice for facial aesthetics. It is a handheld ultrasound device with an ultra-high frequency of 20MHz. In addition, it is wireless and features optimal superficial imaging with an app for the IOs or Android devices.
Clarius uses a color doppler with the Clarius L20 HD3 ultra-high frequency scanners to access the location and depth of facial arteries. Ultrasound is popular in aesthetics and allows clear injector visualization. In addition, this visualization provides greater safety for you.
We use the Clarius Ultrasound when evaluating dermal fillers to ensure they are placed properly. When removing the filler, we use the ultrasound to improve accuracy when dissolving fillers. The Clarius Ultrasound provides you, our patient, with added confidence knowing your fillers will be placed exactly where they need to be to make you look glowing and younger.
Your session at Nuance begins with a cool, conductive gel applied to the treatment area. Your provider will move a small, handheld transducer across your skin, projecting high-definition images of your internal facial landscape onto a screen. We walk you through what we see, pointing out your unique vascular pathways, so you are fully educated on your own anatomy. Once the "safe zones" are mapped, we proceed with your injections, often using the ultrasound simultaneously to confirm the filler is exactly where it needs to be.
Conditions Injectable Ultrasound Addresses
Primary Treatment Areas
Injectable Ultrasound is utilized in "high-stakes" areas where precision is paramount, including the temples, nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty), nasolabial folds, and tear troughs. It is an essential tool for any area where the vasculature is complex or delicate.
Injectable ultrasound offers enhanced precision in complex procedures. During the planning phase of your treatment, your provider will discuss whether this approach suits your goals and plans.
Recovery following injectable treatment is quick, with no social downtime. You may notice some redness or mild swelling around injection sites, but these minor issues will resolve within 2-3 days. You should avoid strenuous activity and excessive heat for 24 hours, as well as applying pressure to treated areas.
Injectable ultrasound ensures you achieve the most precise placement, delivering seamless volume and definition just where you want it. Results can last six months or longer, depending on the details of your treatment and individual factors.
Choosing where to go for your aesthetic care is a big decision that involves both your confidence and your safety. At Nuance Aesthetics + Wellness, we believe that the best results come from a deep understanding of your unique anatomy. By using Clarius Ultrasound technology, we take the guesswork out of your treatment, allowing us to see beneath the surface of your skin in real time. We use facial mapping because it is the right thing to do for our patients.
