Ultrasound Paid for Itself in 6 Weeks. Here's How.
Two aesthetic practices. Real numbers. Zero guesswork.
When Laura Osterweil at Erasable Med Spa and Dr. Jordan Atkinson at Akin Skin Aesthetics added Clarius ultrasound to their workflows, they weren't just upgrading their toolkit — they were unlocking a new service category. Both practices reached ROI in under 8 weeks, simply by doing what they already do, only with real-time imaging.
Here's what changed:
50–90% less hyaluronidase per dissolving procedure — because they could see exactly where to inject
New billable service: $300–$450 per ultrasound-guided facial assessment (added with zero additional equipment)
Vascular mapping for every high-risk patient — including the 1 in 3 where the angular artery is absent or displaced
15 minutes of patient numbing time repurposed for scanning — no extra appointments needed
Referral revenue from other practices and pre-op plastic surgery patients requiring filler dissolution
"You may think you're injecting into the right plane, but you don't know for sure until you have ultrasound." — Dr. Atkinson
