The 22 MHz ultrasound is an interesting tool for the analysis of different skin layers with numerous applications.

Ultrascan UC22 is a precise and economical tool that allows to observe the morphological characteristics of the skin, discriminating between its epidermal, dermal and subcutaneous skin layers.

The measurement is based on ultrasound waves that penetrate the skin and are reflected differently depending on the tissues. The reflected waves are transformed into electrical impulses and the result is a color image called B-scan. The ultrasound of 22MHz allows to obtain a high resolution image of the first 6 mm of the skin.

Fields of application
There are many applications in dermatology and cosmetology:

- Age of the skin and sun damage.
- Thickness and density of the skin.
- Control of effectiveness of laser treatments.
- Control of efficacy of dermoesthetic treatments.
- Cosmetic research.
- Risk of osteoporosis (optional).
- Control of effectiveness of treatments on wounds and scars. Monitoring of subcutaneous tissue in wounds and scars.
