High-Frequency Ultrasound in the Assessment of Cellulite-Correlation between Ultrasound-Derived Measurements, Clinical Assessment, and Nürnberger-Müller Scale Scores.

Background: Cellulite is a cosmetic defect of multifactorial etiology that affects over 90% of women worldwide. Cellulite-induced skin changes are undesirable and negatively affect self-esteem. Despite a plethora of cellulite-reducing treatments, we still lack objective tools to enable accurate diagnosis and treatment efficacy assessment.

Usefulness of Doppler sonography in aesthetic medicine.

Introduction: In recent years, ultrasonography has been used in an increasing number of fields, such as dermatology, aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. For skin imaging, research has shown the usefulness of both classic scanners equipped with linear transducers, and high-frequency scanners with mechanical transducers. An increasing number of reports indicating high usefulness of Doppler sonography have been published recently.

Usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound in the monitoring of laser treatment of acne scars.

Introduction: Acne scarring is considered one of the complications of acne vulgaris. Scarring is an important aesthetic problem for patients; therefore, effective methods for scar removal are sought. In recent years, laser methods for the treatment of acne scarring have become popular as a result of technological development.

The efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound-guided injection lipolysis in reducing fat deposits located on the inside of the knees.

Introduction: Many women consider local fat deposits unacceptable for aesthetic reasons as they have negative impact on appearance and thus, contribute to reduced self-esteem. Injection lipolysis (intralipotherapy) may be an alternative for conventional liposuction in reducing fat deposits.

Aim: The aim of this paper was to assess the efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound-guided injection of deoxycholic acid (intralipotherapy) to remove fat deposits on the inner side of knees.

High frequency ultrasound assessment of labial glands simulating small nodules or granulomas after lip augmentation.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of high-frequency ultrasound in the assessment of the nature and differentiation of lumps occurring in the labial mucosa after lip filling procedures.

Material And Methods: The study sample included 5 women aged from 28 to 43 years (mean age: 37.4 years) who previously underwent a lip augmentation or rejuvenation procedure.

Usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound to assess the healing progress of shin ulcers.

Introduction: As the average lifespan becomes longer, the number of cases of chronic shin ulcers is rising, which is slowly becoming a societal problem. Currently, there no methods for objective evaluation of ulcer healing process.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of the study was to assess the use of high-frequency ultrasound to monitor the healing of shin ulcers subjected to laser biostimulation.

The use of high-frequency ultrasonography for the diagnosis of palpable nodules after the administration of dermal fillers.

Introduction: Esthetic medicine is a buoyant field of medicine. As the number of performed procedures - mainly injections of botulin toxin and dermal fillers - is increasing, the number of complications is rising as well. The most popular dermal filler is hyaluronic acid.

Ultrasound image of healthy skin in newborns in the first 24 hours of life.

Introduction: Ultrasound imaging is a safe, repeatable and easily available imaging procedure. Based on these qualities, it may become a useful tool for skin assessment in newborns. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound imaging for neonatal skin assessment.

High-frequency ultrasound in the 21 century.

The beginnings of skin ultrasound date back to about 50 years ago. However, the dynamic progress of skin ultrasound took place in the last twenty years, when the unprecedented development of computer technologies occurred, which resulted in the popularization of and easier access to modern ultrasound equipment. Skin tests can be performed with both classic scanners equipped with broadband transducers with a minimum frequency of 15 MHz, and specially dedicated skin systems with high-frequency scanners, which are equipped with mechanical transducers with a frequency of 20 MHz to up to 100 MHz.

Gallbladder-duodenal fistula detected by ultrasound - a case report.

Gallbladder-duodenal (cholecystoduodenal) fistula is an uncommon bilioenteric fistula between the gallbladder and the duodenum. It usually occurs following a chronic case of cholecystitis upon which the gallbladder adheres to the adjacent duodenum, and a stone penetrates through the wall. The case presented herein is that of a gallbladder-duodenal fistula detected primarily with the use of ultrasound imaging, and subsequently confirmed by computed tomography.

The utility of high-frequency ultrasonography in preoperative assessment of vulvar Paget's disease - a case report.

Paget's disease of the vulva is a rare skin cancer accounting for less than 1% of all vulvar neoplasias. Surgery is the first treatment of choice. Unfortunately, it is insufficient in many cases, which require further treatment, and the risk of recurrence is high.

The use of high-frequency ultrasonography in the assessment of selected female reproductive structures: the vulva, vagina and cervix.

Introduction: High-frequency ultrasonography enables visualization the layered structure of the skin and shows the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue and skin appendages: hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands and blood vessels. The aim of this study was to apply high-frequency ultrasonography to evaluate the structure of the vulva, vagina and cervix, and to describe their anatomy in ultrasound.

Material And Method: The examinations were conducted with the use of high-frequency probes: DermaView 48 MHz and Episcan 50 MHz, by three operators experienced in performing classical ultrasound scans (with 30-, 10- and 9-year experience).

Sex and body mass index implications on gluteofemoral subcutaneous tissue morphology visualized by ultrasonography - preliminary study.

Since the protective value of gluteofemoral subcutaneous adipose tissue against cardiovascular risk factors has already been described in scientific reports, it is important to pay more attention to its evaluation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sex and body mass index implications on gluteofemoral subcutaneous tissue morphology visualized by ultrasonography. A population of 40 participants between 20-50 years of age was examined.

Application of high-frequency ultrasonography in closing small blood vessels.

One of the most common treatments performed in phlebological and aesthetic medicine clinics is closing small blood vessels in the lower extremities, so-called telangiectasias and reticular vessels. Currently, there are several methods that allow for closing the dilated vessels and obtaining desirable effects, both therapeutic and aesthetic. Unfortunately, despite applying various methods and instruments, the effects of treatments are frequently not satisfactory.

Thrombin obliteration of subclavian artery aneurysm with intravascular balloon protection.

A rare case of a 56-year-old man with posttraumatic false aneurysm of the right subclavian artery is presented. He was admitted to hospital due to pain in the shoulder. The diagnosis was made upon ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) results.

Ultrasound image of the skin, apparatus and imaging basics.

Ultrasound imaging of the skin is becoming more and more popular. Skin ultrasound examinations are used both in order to assess healthy skin and to evaluate pathological lesions. They are mainly performed in dermatology as well as in broadly understood aesthetic medicine and cosmetology.

Imaging of the skin and subcutaneous tissue using classical and high-frequency ultrasonographies in anti-cellulite therapy.

Background: The development of ultrasonography allowed for skin imaging used in dermatology and esthetic medicine. By means of classic and high-frequency ultrasonographies, changes within the dermis and subcutaneous tissue can be presented.

Objective: The aim of this study was to show the possibilities of applying classic and high-frequency ultrasonographies in esthetic dermatology based on monitoring various types of anti-cellulite therapies.
