Ultrasound Guided Injections
When treatment is placed close to blood vessels, precision isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Ultrasound guidance lets Dr Roshan Dalpadado see exactly what’s beneath the skin before treatment goes in, adding a layer of safety that touch alone can’t provide.
What it involves
Using a portable ultrasound probe, Dr Roshan Dalpadado maps the blood vessels and other structures beneath the skin before treatment is administered. This is particularly relevant for aesthetic treatment in areas where blood vessels sit close to the surface, where knowing exactly what’s underneath changes how and where treatment is placed.
Why it matters
This technique is most valuable alongside aesthetic treatments such as volume restoration, where avoiding blood vessels is a genuine safety consideration, not just a nice-to-have. Dr Roshan Dalpadado’s combined background in surgery and aesthetic medicine means he’s assessing your anatomy with a surgeon’s eye, not working from a standard template.
What to expect
Your consultation starts with a discussion of your goals. If your treatment plan calls for an ultrasound-guided approach, your doctor will explain what the imaging shows and how it’s guiding placement, so you understand exactly what’s happening and why.
