A dermal filler ultrasound scan is a non-invasive diagnostic ultrasound examination that helps identify, locate and map previously injected dermal filler in the face. It is especially useful for hyaluronic-acid filler, where ultrasound can help show the depth, distribution and relationship of filler to surrounding tissues.
The dermal filler ultrasound scan is £299. The price includes the appointment, high-frequency ultrasound mapping, verbal explanation in the scan room and a written report within 24 hours. It does not include filler dissolution or any injectable treatment.
The scan is performed at London Private Ultrasound, 27 Welbeck Street, London W1G 8EN, in the Harley Street medical district. This service is currently listed for the London clinic rather than the St Albans site.
No GP referral is required. Patients can book directly online, by phone or by WhatsApp. If you have previous filler records, treatment notes, batch records or photographs, please bring them to help interpretation.
No. London Private Ultrasound provides an independent diagnostic scan and written report only. If onward treatment or dissolution is being considered, the report can be taken to any appropriately qualified aesthetic practitioner. Referral to the sister clinic Elegance Aesthetic may be discussed, but this is separate from the LPU diagnostic scan.
Ultrasound can often help identify whether filler appears to be located away from the expected treatment area, including possible migration, nodules or asymmetry. Findings depend on the filler type, anatomical area, time since injection and scan visibility.
No. Ultrasound may show appearances consistent with filler and can help map location and distribution, but it cannot reliably identify the exact brand, batch or original injection date.
Yes. One of the common reasons for the scan is pre-dissolution mapping, so the treating aesthetic practitioner has objective information about where filler is likely to be located before planning treatment.
No. It is non-invasive and normally painless. Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin and a high-frequency probe is moved gently over the area being assessed.
Most appointments take around 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the number of facial areas assessed and the complexity of previous treatment history.
You receive a verbal explanation during the appointment, followed by a written report within 24 hours. The report is suitable for onward referral to an aesthetic practitioner, GP or specialist if needed.
Sometimes, yes. Residual filler may still be visible long after treatment, depending on the product, area and individual tissue response. A negative scan can also be useful because it documents that no definite filler was detected in the examined areas.
The scan is performed by experienced ultrasound consultants, with clinical governance and website clinical sign-off by Dr Babak Soleimanpour, Medical Director, GMC 6060555.
Dermal filler ultrasound is usually a private diagnostic service, especially when related to elective aesthetic treatment. NHS availability is limited and usually depends on clinical urgency and local referral pathways.
