Highfrequency ultrasound is becoming an essential tool in dermatology because it enables a more precise, noninvasive, real-time characterization of normal skin structures as well as of the associated pathology (inflammatory, oncological, aesthetic complications), significantly improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, enabling a more individualized approach towards our patients.
