healing progress using these scales is time consuming and has a low level of objectivity due to their imperfection: most importantly, they are examiner-dependent.
In recent years, high-frequency ultrasound has become increasingly common and is widely used in dermatology. It is primarily used to differentiate between skin marks and to monitor the course of chronic diseases, e.g. scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and similar conditions(7). Single reports focus on skin assessment in CVI; however

a very limited range of tools for diagnosing complications.
High frequency ultrasound (HFUS) turns out to be the only effective and non-invasive method for diagnosing complications of lip filling procedures. It currently makes it possible to differentiate between deposits and granulomas, as well as any other doubtful cases in which diagnosis based on exclusively clinical evidence is simply impossible(3).
The aim of this paper is to assess the utility of high-frequency ultrasound in the

complications is not justified in patients with local fat deposits. Considering the risk of complications and limitations of this method, it seems important to seek techniques that will allow for non-invasive reduction of the subcutaneous tissue. Injection lipolysis is an effective method for local fat pads(3,4). Although it has been used for more than 30 years, it requires further research due to previous mistakes.

resulted in the emergence of diagnostic methods that enable one to assess complications. These techniques include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound. However, taking into account the possibilities and limitations of the novel methods, it can be stated that only the latter has a chance to enter widespread use in the field of esthetic medicine.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy and a frequent cause of sick leaves because of work-related hand overload. That is why an early diagnosis and adequate treatment (conservative or surgical) are essential for optimal patient management. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound in CTS for the assessment of patient eligibility for surgical treatment. Material and methods: The study involved 62 patients (50 women and 12

AimThe aim of the study is to assess the usefulness of high frequency ultrasound in the postoperative evaluation of CTS treatment efficacy.Material and methodsSixty-two patients (50 women and 12 men aged 28–70, mean age 55.2) underwent surgical treatment of CTS. Ultrasound examinations of the wrist in all carpal tunnel sufferers were performed 3 months after the procedure with the use of a high frequency broadband linear array transducer (6–18 MHz, using 18 MHz band) of MyLab 70/Esaote.

, i.e. high-frequency transducers. Currently, there are several manufacturers of this type of scanners. DermaScan C (Cortex Technology, Hadsund, Denmark) and DUB-USB (Taberna Pro Medicum, Lüneburg, Germany) are the best known ultrasound scanners. Researchers also use Episcan I-200 (Longport, Inc., Silchester, Great Britain) in their studies. Also, a Polish high-frequency ultrasound scanner DermaMed (Dramiński S.A., Olsztyn, Poland) has been manufactured for several years now. The characteristics of

-frequency ultrasound (HFU) is a diagnostic modality that may fill this gap. HFU is objective, reliable and, most of all, safe for the patient, and it was shown to be useful in many areas of dermatology, cosmetology, and widely understood aesthetic medicine(6,7). The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound for the assessment of acne scarring and monitoring of the outcomes of erbium-YAG laser treatment.

examination of full-thickness sections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue would be important for the diagnosis, but unfortunately, this is associated with a high risk of hard-to-heal ulcers, which is why it is rarely performed in clinical practice(3,4). Therefore, minimally invasive methods, such as high-frequency ultrasound (HFU) of the tibial skin or radiology of the tibial soft tissues have become increasingly important. Precise assessment of radiological and ultrasonographic manifestations typical of

skin is covered with vernix caseosa, which is removed during birth and through mechanical hygienic procedures performed in newborns. The first physical examination in neonates often reveals congenital skin pathologies (haemangiomas, skin moles, discolorations)(3). High-frequency ultrasound imaging (HF-US) is a non-invasive and safe technique allowing quick and repeatable assessment of observed pathologies(4). However, the majority of literature reports and scientific studies describing the

(EDx) findings. The authors found that ultrasound measurements of lower extremity nerves in DPN do not differ from controls and do not correlate with EDx findings(17).
Conclusions
This study suggests that high-frequency ultrasound of the sural nerve is a useful tool for evaluating changes typical of peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus. The cross-sectional area, which is altered in diabetic peripheral neuropathy, is the most sensitive parameter. Nerve conduction studies
