The focus here is not only on the development of products such as injectables, but also on ways to improve their precision. The use of ultrasound in an aesthetic procedure is one such innovation. It is a technique that uses sound waves to visualize internal body structures. The precision of injectables is almost as important as the injectable itself to achieve the most beautiful and natural results. Moreover, it allows the physician to work more safely.
What is ultrasound?
Ultrasound works by emitting inaudible sound waves that are reflected by the organs in the body. These reflected sound waves are captured and converted into images visible on a monitor. This allows the physician to view the internal structures of the body such as organs, tissues, and blood vessels. A specially developed gel is also used on the skin to ensure good conduction of these sound waves. Ultrasound also involves no radiation. Therefore, ultrasound is a safe and non-invasive method for examining the body.
How does ultrasound make injectables safe?
Ultrasound can not only show the tissues in the body but also indicate where previously injected fillers are located. This allows a physician to perform a new treatment accurately. Moreover, there is increasing evidence that fillers can remain in place longer than initially expected. This way, unwanted accumulation of fillers can be prevented, or even ultrasonically removed. If we do not take these situations into account, it can result in unnatural outcomes.
In addition, ultrasound also shows the precise anatomy of the face. This allows us to see where the blood vessels are located and to treat with greater accuracy. Finally, ultrasound is also effective in treating complications. If there is a blocked blood vessel or a lump due to filler, ultrasound gives us the ability to visualize the filler and its size, making it easier to resolve the problem.
This approach ensures that treatments become safer and the results of a new filler treatment are optimized. Ultrasound is a wonderful development in aesthetic medicine and will likely be applied more and more in the future. For a natural result, these kinds of developments are of great importance. After all, we want your beauty to shine!
Dr. Rose Bischoff is a cosmetic doctor at The Body Clinic and works at the clinics in Heerenveen, Groningen, and Utrecht. Rose also teaches medicine at the University of Groningen and is a lecturer at the NVCG. After completing her medical specialist training as an orthopedic surgeon at the UMCG in Groningen, she obtained a super specialization in performing reconstructive surgery, focusing on worn and malfunctioning artificial knees. After gaining 15 years of experience in hospital surgery, she decided to follow her passion for creativity, symmetry, and contact with people and now works as a cosmetic doctor. **Aging gracefully, on your terms** "It's okay to grow old—but now we have the choice to age gracefully on our own terms. I can help you with that, with sincere and personal advice. For me, the goal is achieved when people compliment you on how good you look, not when they realize you've had treatment. It should be complimentary, not conspicuous. That is the essence of natural cosmetic medicine. I treat clients as I would like to be treated myself: with personal attention, time, and precision. A treatment plan is always different for each person, both in terms of wishes and results. That's why I think it's important that both the doctor and the client are fully behind the plan – only then can you achieve the best results," says Rose, **Specialist in harmonization** At The Body Clinic, we regularly receive requests from people to remove excess fillers that have been placed by another clinic and treat them with a natural result. Rose is The Body Clinic's specialist in the “harmonization” of injectables. Rose helps people regain balance in their faces by dissolving excess filler and providing them with a natural-looking treatment. In this way, she creates a fresh, natural look without removing all fillers. “Less is more” – that principle is central to her work. In addition to harmonization treatments, Rose focuses primarily on minor surgical procedures such as NeckTite and upper eyelid corrections. Given her extensive knowledge and experience in the field of surgery, her clients are in excellent hands. Rose is ambitious, honest, and always on the lookout for new developments and techniques in cosmetic medicine. She regularly attends conferences and takes training courses to keep her skills up to date and provide the best care possible.
