Objectives: to compare ultrasound devices that can be used in cosmetic medicin for prevention of intravascualr filler injections, and treatment of complications
Introduction: Doppler Ultrasound (DUS) analysis of the face has become a matter of interest in cosmetic medicine, in particular for injectable fillers. In dealing with complications, it has the advantage of easily visualizing the filler and identifying the problem in relation to the patients anatomy. We expect that in a few years’ time DUS will become standard equipment in cosmetic doctors’ offices.
Materials / method: Having experience for 10 years with different devices, I identified three that are feasible for the cosmetic market, because they are relatively inexpensive and offer good quality for their price.
Results: I will assess each of these three on price, versatility and other practical aspects
Conclusion: Philips Lumify offers a good deal for the daily practice. The device is tablet/mobile phone based. Wisonic Piloter is twice as expensive, tablet based, and gives a sharp image with more functionalities. Samsung HM75A is more than three times as expensive, laptop based, not easily to transport, but a very versatile machine.
