Clarius Ultrasound is an advanced, non-invasive imaging service that improves the precision and safety of cosmetic and medical dermatologic procedures. At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we use the Clarius HD3 Portable Ultrasound, a modern device that delivers high-definition, real-time images of tissue structures beneath your skin. This advanced technology enables our team to plan and guide treatments with unmatched accuracy, ensuring your procedures are performed as safely and effectively as possible.
With its wireless design and AI-powered imaging, Clarius Ultrasound provides a cleaner and more efficient experience from start to finish. All images are securely stored in the Clarius Cloud, making it easy to review and track progress over time. Whether evaluating a skin concern, monitoring healing, or guiding dermatologic procedures, this advanced ultrasound delivers the clarity your provider needs for precise, patient-focused care.
We use Clarius Ultrasound to enhance a variety of aesthetic and medical dermatology services. Our most common applications include:
Clarius HD3 uses advanced artificial intelligence with eight beamformers and 192 piezoelectric elements to produce clear, detailed images in real time. The wireless scanner connects directly to iOS or Android devices, keeping the treatment area clean and organized. During an imaging session, a small amount of gel is applied to the skin as the handheld device glides gently over the area, providing instant images to guide precise procedure planning. The process is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime, so you can resume normal activities right away.
A typical Clarius Ultrasound session lasts about 15–30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the area being examined, and includes time for reviewing images and discussing next steps with your provider.
The diagnostic value of Clarius Ultrasound images is immediate and continues long term. Stored images remain available for future reference, helping your provider track progress and guide ongoing treatments effectively.
Clarius Ultrasound imaging is gentle and well tolerated. If it is used during an injectable or minor dermatologic procedure, our team can provide comfort measures such as topical numbing or ProNox to keep the visit relaxing.
Downtime is not required. You can resume normal activities right after the appointment, and any mild redness from the ultrasound gel typically fades within a few minutes.
Clarius Ultrasound is appropriate for anyone seeking safer, more precise cosmetic or medical dermatology procedures, including those undergoing evaluations of skin concerns or follow-up imaging, regardless of age or skin type.
Clarius Ultrasound provides high-definition imaging with wireless freedom and AI-powered optimization, creating faster, cleaner, and more accurate results than conventional machines, while also simplifying storage and future access to images.
Stored images allow our providers to monitor treatment areas over time and compare results at future visits, supporting long-term skin health and comprehensive, ongoing dermatologic evaluations and care.
If you are ready to enhance your cosmetic or medical dermatology treatments with Clarius Ultrasound imaging, call to book an appointment with Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology in Glen Allen, VA, today and start your journey toward safer, more precise skin care.
