Cosmetic skin diseases are a part of many dermatological concerns brought up by patients, which negatively affect mental health and quality of life. Imaging technology has an established role in the diagnosis of cosmetic skin diseases by recognizing information on deep skin lesions. Due to the complex physiological and pathological nature of cosmetic skin diseases, the diagnostic imaging performance varies greatly. Developing noninvasive technology models with wide applicability, particularly high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS), which is able to achieve high-resolution imaging of the skin from the stratum corneum down to the deep fascia, is of great significance to medical cosmetology. To explore the great potential of HFUS in cosmetic skin diseases, a narrative review of literature from PubMed and Web of Science published between 1985 and 2022 was conducted. This narrative review focuses on the progression of HFUS imaging in medical cosmetology, especially on its promising application in the quantitative evaluation and differential diagnosis of cutaneous pathological scar, port wine stain (PWS), acne, skin aging, and other cosmetic applications.
美容皮肤病是患者提出的许多皮肤科问题的一部分，会对心理健康和生活质量产生负面影响。成像技术在通过识别深部皮肤病变信息来诊断美容皮肤病方面发挥着既定作用。由于美容皮肤病复杂的生理和病理性质，诊断成像表现差异很大。开发具有广泛适用性的非侵入性技术模型，尤其是高频超声（HFUS），它能够实现从角质层到深筋膜的皮肤高分辨率成像，对医学美容具有重要意义。为了探索HFUS在美容皮肤病中的巨大潜力，我们对1985年至2022年间发表在PubMed和Web of Science上的文献进行了叙述性综述。本叙述性综述重点关注HFUS成像在医学美容中的进展，特别是其在皮肤病理性瘢痕、葡萄酒色斑（PWS）、痤疮、皮肤老化及其他美容应用的定量评估和鉴别诊断中的应用前景。
