Course Overview
The Ultrasound: The Basics and Beyond is a comprehensive course providing medical professionals with essential ultrasound skills for aesthetic applications. Participants will gain hands-on experience with Mindray or Clarius ultrasound technology, learning proper machine setup, probe usage, and Doppler options (including black versus color versus pulse wave Doppler). The curriculum covers fundamental principles of ultrasound operation, skin layer identification, vascular and muscle mapping techniques, and the identification of different gels and biostimulators under ultrasound guidance. The training features an intimate learning environment with personalized instruction. Participants will practice hand positioning and scanning techniques through hands-on demonstrations. All necessary ultrasound equipment and materials are provided during the session. Held in Wellesley, MA, this course is designed for practitioners looking to incorporate ultrasound technology into their practice. While no prerequisites are required, a medical background is recommended.
What to Expect
- Learn to operate Clarius and Mindray ultrasound systems by setting up machines, selecting probes, and toggling Doppler modes (black‑white, color, pulse wave) to optimize imaging in aesthetic procedures.
- Identify skin layers, vascular structures, and muscle anatomy using real-time ultrasound—gaining practical skills in vascular and muscle mapping critical for safe filler and neuromodulator placement.
- Position the probe and handle gel and biostimulator products correctly to produce clear diagnostic images, enhancing your ability to detect tissue.
- Understand ultrasound physics principles—wave behavior, echogenicity, and artifact recognition—and apply them immediately in practice to interpret images accurately and troubleshoot technical issues.
- Integrate ultrasound explicitly into your clinical workflow by scanning for anatomy and guiding injections—moving beyond theory into real‑world injector use cases and improving patient safety in aesthetic treatments.
