Summary
Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) is now FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation. Proper dilution and injection techniques are crucial for safe and effective nonsurgical hand enhancement, avoiding complications like nodules.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Plastic Surgery
Background:
- The US FDA approved Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) for hand injections in 2015.
- Nonsurgical hand rejuvenation using dermal fillers has gained significant interest.
- Standard facial injection techniques are not optimal for hand anatomy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss optimal dilution and injection strategies for Radiesse in hand rejuvenation.
- To enhance patient safety and aesthetic outcomes in nonsurgical hand enhancement.
- To address the unique anatomical considerations of the hand dorsum.
Main Methods:
- Review of Radiesse properties and FDA approval for hand use.
- Analysis of facial versus hand anatomy for filler injection.
- Discussion of specific dilution protocols and injection techniques for the hand.
Main Results:
- Suboptimal outcomes and adverse events like nodules can occur with improper technique.
- Tailored dilution and injection methods are necessary for the hand.
- Safe and effective hand rejuvenation with Radiesse is achievable.
Conclusions:
- Radiesse offers a viable option for nonsurgical hand rejuvenation.
- Understanding hand-specific anatomy is key to successful treatment.
- Adherence to specialized techniques ensures optimal safety and aesthetic results.

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

6.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

01:29Mechanical Ventilation I: Indication and Settings
2.9K
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving technique for managing acute respiratory failure and other respiratory complications. The process involves using a machine known as a ventilator to supply oxygen to the lungs and assist in removing carbon dioxide. It serves as a bridge to long-term mechanical ventilation or a temporary measure until ventilatory support is discontinued. The ventilator can maintain this function for a prolonged period, providing critical support for patients until they can...

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
2.7K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...
