FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to cosmetology and can be used to monitor the results of the treatment of edema of the soft tissues of the face, which arose during contouring with hyaluronic acid gels. Conduct an ultrasound in the mode of Doppler mapping before treatment and 10–14 days from the start of treatment. Resistance index (RI) of the infraorbital artery is determined at the place of its exit from the opening of the same name, the angular artery, and the facial artery in the area of the nasolabial folds. If the RI value is 0.75–0.85, the treatment is completed, and if the RI value is below 0.75, repeated treatment of the edema of the soft tissues of the face in a month is considered indicated.
EFFECT: method provides the determination of the achieved effect of restoration of blood circulation in soft tissues in the course of treatment, the availability of monitoring the results of treatment of soft tissue edema for patients and medical personnel, eliminates the risk of further progression of edema, reduces the period of medical and social rehabilitation through the use of an ultrasound method, determining RI before treatment and 10–14 days from the start of treatment.
