Identification of a suitable layer for injecting calcium hydroxylapatite fillers in the hands

摘要

Background: Hand rejuvenation has become increasingly popular in esthetic medicine. Hand rejuvenation with injectables remains challenging, and there are no established practice guidelines. The calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler injection is currently one of the most common procedures. This study aimed to identify the layer of the hand dorsum that is lifted by skin pinching and to identify the layer where an injectable filler would be placed based on the anatomical study and ultrasound findings.
