Abstract
Ultrasonic imaging is one of the most important diagnostic tools in clinical medicine due to its cost, availability, and good correlation with pathological results. High‐frequency ultrasound (HFUS) is a technique used in skin science that has been little explored, especially in comparison to other sites and imaging techniques. HFUS shows real‐time images of the skin layers, appendages, and skin lesions in vivo, and can significantly contribute to advances in skin science. This review summarizes the potential applications of HFUS in dermatology and cosmetology, with a focus on quantitative tools that can be used to assess various skin conditions. Our findings showed that HFUS imaging is a reproducible and powerful tool for the diagnosis, clinical management, and therapy monitoring of skin conditions. It is also a helpful tool for assessing the performance of dermatological products. This technique may eventually become essential for evaluating the performance of dermatological and cosmetic products.
