Abstract:
Very high frequency ultrasound (VHF-US) is new therapy method with a broad application spectrum in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. In this method, ultrasound waves with frequencies over 10 MHz, which were for a long time only used in ultrasound diagnostics, are applied for therapeutic purposes. Such US waves demonstrate specific biophysical efficiencies which warrant their application for the treatment of the skin efflorescences, chronic wounds and hypertrophic scars as well as in anti-aging and skin improvement procedures in aesthetic medicine. VHF-US can be applied not only for stand-alone treatments, but also as a supportive pre- and posttreatment method in combination with laser, radiofrequency currents, injection lipolysis, etc. as well as in aesthetic plastic surgery.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
