Next-Generation Aesthetics: Fingerheld Ultrasound for Simultaneous Injection and Real-Time Imaging

Abstract

Ultrasound technology has become an essential tool in aesthetic medicine, enhancing safety and precision during injectable treatments by providing real-time visualisation of facial anatomy. However, traditional systems are hindered by size, complexity, and the inability to facilitate simultaneous imaging and injection, limiting their integration into clinical workflows. The fingerheld ultrasound demonstrated enhanced precision and safety during facial injectable procedures by enabling real-time imaging alongside injections. Its ergonomic design improved accessibility to delicate facial areas, while its portability facilitated broader clinical use. Challenges such as limited depth penetration and the learning curve for new users were noted but deemed manageable with future refinements and training programs. The fingerheld ultrasound represents a transformative advancement in aesthetic medicine, offering simultaneous injection and imaging capabilities. With continued development, it has the potential to revolutionise facial aesthetic procedures, improving outcomes and patient safety.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
