Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Hand rejuvenation presents treatment challenges due to pain and multiple sessions required for some fillers.
  • Existing soft tissue fillers for the hand often involve significant patient discomfort and prolonged recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, less painful method for hand treatment using calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient experience of a CaHA-anesthetic admixture for hand injections.

Main Methods:

  • A homogenous admixture of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and anesthetic was prepared prior to injection.
  • The CaHA-anesthetic mixture was injected into the hand using a tenting technique and then disseminated.
  • The novel technique aimed to improve ease of massage and reduce procedural pain.

Main Results:

  • The admixture resulted in a homogenous mixture that was easier to massage and spread throughout the hand.
  • Patients experienced noticeably less pain compared to conventional hand injections.
  • The treatment was associated with reduced swelling and bruising, and minimal post-treatment downtime.

Conclusions:

  • Mixing anesthetic directly with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) offers a simplified and more comfortable approach to hand rejuvenation.
  • This technique addresses key challenges in hand aesthetics, including pain management and treatment efficiency.
  • The CaHA-anesthetic admixture shows promise for improving patient outcomes and satisfaction in hand filler treatments.
