PARAMOUNT IN SAFETY AND PRECISION
Woodland Hills Ultrasound Guided Technology at Luminous Medical Aesthetics
As a board-certified radiologist, Dr. Shaden at Luminous Medical Aesthetics incorporates ultrasound guided technology into the world of injectables to eliminate the guesswork- increasing precision and desired outcomes by knowing exactly where your injectable filler is being placed. Dr. Shaden is highly skilled in ultrasound-guided techniques, which is not only important for the placement of dermal fillers, but perhaps even more important for the reversal of migrated, unwanted, or problematic dermal fillers. The use of ultrasound in aesthetics is cutting-edge and paramount in identifying vasculature, minimizing adverse events, and the targeted dissolve of undesirable dermal fillers. Our treatments include Ultrasound-guided dermal filler placement, dermal filler reversal with hyaluronidase, vascular mapping, and nodule evaluation.
Enhanced Safety. Exquisite Results.
What is Ultrasound Guided Technology for Aesthetics?
Injectable treatments have become a mainstay in the aesthetic space, allowing patients to enhance their youthful, luminous appearance quickly and conveniently. Injectable treatments offer fast results, minimal downtime, and substantial and long-lasting rejuvenation. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks associated with injectable treatments. If injected into a blood vessel, these treatments can have serious consequences including skin necrosis and blindness.
At Luminous Medical Aesthetics in Woodland Hills ultrasound-guided technology allows Dr. Shaden to identify and avoid blood vessels while injecting fillers to greatly reduce the risk of such complications. Ultrasound is becoming the standard of care in the aesthetic realm for patient safety. Ultrasound guidance is critical for a targeted dissolve of problematic or unwanted HLA-based dermal filler.

Your Ideal Treatment Made Better
What are the benefits of Ultrasound Guided Technology?
At Luminous Medical Aesthetics we are driven by safety and results-driven care. With the utilization of ultrasound-guided technology Woodland Hills patients can feel more confident in the safe and optimally effective application of the injectable treatments we offer at Luminous Medical Aesthetics.
ULTRASOUND GUIDED DERMAL FILLER APPLICATION
With ultrasound guidance, you can rest assured that at Luminous Medical Aesthetics your safety comes first. With ultrasound, vascular mapping can be done prior to administering treatment to identify the safest entry points, optimal depth of filler placement, and important structures to avoid. Dermal filler can be placed precisely to rejuvenate your look, enhance feature definition, and restore lost volume.
ULTRASOUND GUIDED DISSOLVES
Ultrasound guidance is perhaps even more important for the reversal of migrated, unwanted, or problematic dermal fillers. Ultrasound allows Dr. Shaden to locate the small aliquots of dermal filler in the face, and more importantly, allows her to guide the needle into the specific sites requiring dissolve. Using ultrasound removes the guesswork of filler dissolve, which otherwise relies on flooding the area with the dissolving enzyme.
Ultrasound Guided Neuromodulator Treatment
Neuromodulating injectables like Botox prevent and diminish dynamic wrinkles by temporarily inhibiting movement in targeted muscles. With ultrasound-guided technology, Dr. Shaden can more precisely and effectively target the muscles that need to be treated.
Ultrasound Guided PRP
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is an all-natural rejuvenation treatment that harnesses the power of your body’s healing mechanism. PRP can be injected into targeted areas for comprehensive rejuvenation using concentrated growth factors harvested from a small blood sample. PRP is an excellent alternative to synthetic treatments, restoring skin texture, elasticity, and volume. Dr. Shaden injects PRP with ultrasound-guided technology, paying exceptional attention to volume and blood vessel location.
Place Your Trust In Good Hands
Ultrasound During Your Consultation
For dermal filler placement or dermal filler dissolve, Dr. Shaden will perform a complete or targeted ultrasound to evaluate your facial vessels and anatomy (vascular mapping). Ultrasound is used pre and post-procedure to document the patency of the vessels as well as during the procedure to avoid vessels. If you have a nodule that is painful or persists, Dr. Shaden can evaluate the nodule with ultrasound-guided technology to help determine the next course of action.
Next-Level Personalization
Your Ultrasound Procedure
Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and no radiation imaging modality used in Radiology. A thin layer of clear ultrasound gel is applied to the handheld ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound transducer is placed on the area of concern and the images are evaluated for the vascular anatomy, presence, and location of dermal filler, or nodule evaluation. The gel is wiped clean and topical numbing is applied as usual before injections for patient comfort. After cleansing the skin, using a sterile technique, ultrasound-guided technology is used to guide needle placement to the ideal location for dermal filler placement or targeted dissolve.
Exquisitely & Authentically You
