Abstract: 【Abstract】 In recent years, ultrasonography has been more and more widely applied in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases, as well as in the field of aesthetic dermatology. Compared with physical examination, ultrasonography can more intuitively reflect the normal structures of skin soft tissues, and be used to more objectively assess deeper skin lesions, showing great application prospects in dermatology. This article provides an overview of the advances in the application of ultrasonography in the field of dermatology.
