Ultrasound with Energy-Based Devices in Aesthetic Medicine I Sheen Clinic

Speaker: Dr. Doris Lee

Topic: Enhancing Clinical Precision, Safety, and Patient Outcomes through Ultrasound-Guided Energy-Based Devices (EBDs)

Executive Summary: At the Singapore Aesthetic Medicine Conference, Dr. Doris Lee delivered a keynote presentation on integrating ultrasound with energy-based devices (EBDs)—including radiofrequency, laser, and micro-focused ultrasound. For her pioneering protocols in anatomical mapping and complication prevention, Dr. Doris Lee was awarded the Excellence in Aesthetic Innovation Award.

Presentation Highlights & Key Takeaways

Modern aesthetic medicine demands elevated precision and safety standards. Dr. Doris Lee’s presentation demonstrated how  diagnostic ultrasound removes guesswork during energy-based treatments by providing real-time visualization of dermal thickness, vascular anatomy, and underlying superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layers.

Core Objectives Covered by Dr. Doris Lee:

• Real-Time Vascular & Anatomical Mapping: Using ultrasound imaging to identify vessel depth and structural variations before delivering targeted heat or energy.

• Precision Depth Targeting: Tailoring depth settings for Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to ensure energy is deposited into correct tissue planes without collateral thermal damage.

• Complication Avoidance & Safety: Minimizing risks of burns, unexpected swelling, filler identification or vascular compromise in high-risk facial zones.

• Standardized Treatment Protocols: Establishing repeatable guidelines for combining sub-dermal visualization with non-surgical skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

Awards & Industry Recognition

Dr. Doris Lee was honored with the Excellence in Aesthetic Innovation Award in recognition of her contributions to safety standards and clinical methodology in energy-based aesthetics.

Keynote Presentation Overview

Abstract

Energy-based devices (EBDs) have revolutionized non-invasive aesthetic treatments. However, variation in individual tissue thickness, hydration, and vascular structure can impact energy absorption and safety. Dr. Doris Lee’s presentation outlines how pre-treatment ultrasound scanning establishes an exact "anatomical map," allowing practitioners to customize energy density, pulse duration, and focus depth for optimal neocollagenesis and patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is ultrasound used with energy-based devices in aesthetic medicine?

Ultrasound provides high-resolution visualization of skin layers, sub-dermal structures, and blood vessels. When paired with energy-based devices, it allows Dr. Doris Lee and clinicians to target exact anatomical depths safely while avoiding blood vessels and critical facial structures.

What energy-based devices (EBDs) benefit from ultrasound guidance?

Ultrasound guidance enhances treatments involving High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), Radiofrequency (RF), RF Microneedling, and fractional laser therapies by confirming accurate penetration depth prior to energy delivery.
