Ultrasound Fundamentals for the Aesthetic Injector

Thursday, April 10, 2025, 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Have your patients been asking you about ultrasound? In the last year, a viral social media post used ultrasound technology to show how facial filler can stick around much longer than expected. At the same time, celebrities and influencers fueled a trend of dissolving filler to achieve a more natural look. Ultrasound gives aesthetic injectors the precision and accuracy to both know what they are working with and make targeted adjustments, whether they are adding filler or removing it.

Start learning ultrasound this April with one of the first aesthetic physicians to start using ultrasound in the United States, Dr. Steven F. Weiner. 

Why learn ultrasound in aesthetics?

Inject more confidently by seeing the anatomy below the skin. Ultrasound helps you visualize the anatomy of your patient, guiding you to safer injections and better results.

Get hands-on experience using ultrasound devices. Learn how ultrasound can help diagnose and manage complications and learn how to best use the technology to guide injections in each area of the face.

Ways ultrasound can change your injectable practice

• Evaluate the vascularity of the face prior to injections to improve safety and efficacy of fillers;
• Get better measurements of skin and fat prior to treatment for more objective results;
• Evaluate filler complications and composition rather than relying on educated guesses.

On the agenda:

• Introduction and overview
• Discussion on the importance of ultrasound for improved safety
• Ultrasound science
• Ultrasound terminology
• Ultrasound “knobology” – Settings on ultrasound
• Hands-on use of ultrasound – Getting familiar with settings
• B-Mode ultrasound use
• Color and power doppler ultrasound use
• Ultrasound anatomy – Upper face
• Hands-on use of ultrasound for upper face
• Ultrasound anatomy – Midface
• Hands-on use of ultrasound for mid-face
• Ultrasound anatomy – Lower face/skin/neck
• Hands-on use of ultrasound for lower face/skin/neck
• Ultrasound of fillers
• Ultrasound of filler complications
• Cases using ultrasound to diagnose filler complications
• Ultrasound-guided injections for treating filler complications
• Hands-on use of ultrasound on guided injections (in chicken parts)
• Clinical discussion on visual loss due to fillers
• Proposed ultrasound-assisted mitigation of visual complications
