Цели: A brief discussion about ultrasound-based methods for quantifying dermal aging in aesthetic consultations, aimed at improving the information typically provided by before-and-after photos. Введение: Before-and-after photos can be easily biased, but there is solid scientific evidence regarding ultrasound markers of dermal aging, that can be applied effectively. Материалы / методы: We will describe the main ultrasound markers of dermal aging, based on ultrasound measurements and basic image analysis. We will present a clinical case in which these markers were applied to evaluate and quantify skin changes and/or improvements. The case involves a patient with clinical and ultrasonographic signs of advanced aging, who was treated with a product potentially capable of stimulating dermal collagen synthesis. Follow-up was conducted using skin ultrasound, and we describe the evolution in terms of ultrasonographic changes. Результаты: The patient showed a consistent improvement in dermal aging signs, up to 49% compared to the baseline, which correlated with clinical findings and patient satisfaction. Заключение: This type of treatment does not usually produce radical changes in photographs but rather improves skin quality. Therefore, ultrasound becomes a valuable tool for assessing and monitoring results, providing more reliable information to patients.
