IML attends the Echo-Aesthetics Course

Echo-aesthetics is based on the application of ultrasounds as a medical diagnostic technique to specialities such as dermo-cosmetics, medicine and cosmetic surgery.

Echo-aesthetics as a work methodology, presents various benefits to the medical practitioner:

1. Objectively know the state of the body area to be treated under the body surface. At the same time, by inspecting or feeling the area to be treated we can know the clinical state under the skin thanks to the ultrasound image. This allows us to obtain more data that can condition the indicative diagnosis and, therefore, the therapeutic indication.
2. Help to control the treatment and evaluate the results.
3. It acts as a support to the medical professional when having to justify actions before third parties. Recording an ultrasound image in the patient’s case history can safeguard our responsibilities when faced with patient complaints.
4. Provides quality in the diagnosis and the results. Improves the image of our clinic and of its medical professionals in the eyes of the patient.

Thus, the assistance of a aesthetic-echographer is valid for:

• Establish a prognosis.
• Decide on the type of treatment to apply.
• Assess evolution.
• Fine tune the number of sessions.
• Reject treatments.
