Safety and Precision of Injections

Ultrasound provides an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. By using it, you increase the safety of injectable treatments by visualizing key structures and precisely locating the ideal site for the planned injectable treatment.

Before injecting dermal fillers into a patient, it is crucial for the injector to know the exact location of blood vessels in order to avoid side effects and make the procedure much safer.
Dr. Rowen, an accredited trainer with the Cutaneous group, is among the first in Canada to offer this expertise, ensuring filler injections that are both precise and safe.
