Introduced in 2022, the Clarius L20 HD is the world’s first ultra-high-frequency handheld ultrasound scanner designed for superficial scanning. Our aesthetic clinicians at Desert Med Aesthetics in Indian Wells, Ca, now use the Clarius L20 handheld ultrasound devices to guide safer facial cosmetic procedures.

As one of the nation’s top injectors for Allergan Cosmetic brands (like Botox^® and the Juvéderm^® family of dermal fillers, Dr. Doriana Cosgrove is known for her pioneering work and innovative techniques in aesthetic medicine. She is a world-renowned expert in “injectables” and has developed amazing non-surgical options for patients who want to look like a more youthful, rested version of themselves with little to no downtime. Dr. Cosgrove has developed renowned techniques in the non-surgical realm, like her Spiderweb Technique, which allows patients to achieve surgery-like results in a safe, non-invasive manner. She often leads clinical trials on innovative products and lectures, participating in aesthetics, MedSpa, and dermatology conferences around the globe.

Dr. Cosgrove was one of the first to purchase the Clarius L20 handheld ultrasound system for aesthetic procedures in Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and the Coachella Valley.

With over 15 years of experience, Dr Doriana Cosgrove has performed more than 3,000 aesthetic procedures including facial injectables like Botox^®, Fillers, Kybella^® and Virtue RF Microneedling.

Dr. Cosgrove uses the Clarius L20 to: 

• rule out a potential occlusion 
• evaluate and baseline depth and position of the client’s vessels in areas of injection
• evaluate the depth and position of the cannula and old filler for dissolving 
• check the depth and position of threads at follow-up with a client

This device is a key differentiator with our clients and for our practice in safety and evaluation. Dr. Cosgrove believes ultrasound-guided injections aren’t the wave of the future in facial aesthetics but the tsunami of the present. Whether it’s vascular mapping, diagnosing previous facial fillers, or treating adverse events, the technology is crucial to safe injection therapy.

Ultrasound-guided cosmetic injections are excellent because they help avoid all those scary adverse events like arterial occlusion but, more importantly, can help map your cosmetic treatment and prevent bruising while minimizing downtime.
