Seeing Beneath the Surface

The Future Of Safer Aesthetics

One of the things we love most about aesthetic medicine is that every face is different. No two people have exactly the same bone structure, facial proportions, volume or anatomy, and we don’t believe they should ever be treated as though they do.

We spend years learning facial anatomy and understanding where blood vessels, muscles and other important structures are generally located. But there is an important word in that sentence: generally. Anatomy can vary from person to person, sometimes in ways we simply cannot see from the outside.

That is why we believe the future of aesthetics is not just about what we inject, but how carefully we assess someone before we inject at all.

For us, safety will always come first.

Before placing filler or a biostimulator such as Sculptra, we want to understand the individual face in front of us. Has filler been placed there before? How has the face changed over time? Where are important structures located? And most importantly, is this actually the right treatment for this person?

This is where ultrasound has become such an exciting advancement in aesthetic medicine. Ultrasound allows trained providers to look beneath the surface of the skin in real time. It can help us visualize certain blood vessels and other structures, better understand individual anatomy and see previously placed filler that may not be apparent from the outside.

That additional information can help us make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of certain complications and adverse events.

Ultrasound doesn’t replace experience, anatomical knowledge or good clinical judgment, and it shouldn’t. Instead, it gives us another set of eyes.

We believe that should increasingly become the standard in aesthetics.

And there is another benefit to slowing down and truly assessing someone: the results tend to be more natural.

Not every face needs filler. Not every concern needs to be “fixed.” Sometimes Sculptra makes more sense. Sometimes another treatment is the better choice. And sometimes doing nothing is the right answer.

Aesthetics is evolving, and we believe the approach to safety should evolve with it.
