: Characterized by thickening of the epidermis and a "subepidermal low-echogenic band" (SLEB) representing inflammation. 3. Cosmetic & Aesthetic Procedures

: Standard dermatologic exams require probes of at least 15 MHz ; ultra-high frequency (UHFUS) can reach up to 70 MHz for viewing minute structures like hair tracts. Layer Echogenicity : Epidermis : Appears as a bright, hyperechoic line.

: Differentiates solid tumors from fluid-filled cysts (anechoic) or fatty lipomas (often oval and hypoechoic). 2. Inflammatory Diseases

: Ultrasound helps measure the depth (ultrasonographic Breslow index) and check for nearby satellite metastases.

High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) uses sound waves to create real-time images of the skin layers.
