Challenges, Considerations, and Strategies in Hand Rejuvenation

J Drugs Dermatol. 2016 Jul 1;15(7):809-15.

Abstract

Hand rejuvenation is an increasingly requested procedure in dermatology. Dorsal hand augmentation with soft tissue filler is one aspect of hand rejuvenation. Calcium hydroxyapatite is FDA approved for this purpose, while at the present time other filler products are utilized but are considered off-label for dorsal hand augmentation. This article reviews the relevant anatomy, the general and filler-specific techniques commonly employed, and potential complications that may arise. <br /><br /> <em>J Drugs Dermatol.</em> 2016;15(7):809-815.
