Dermatoporosis in Upper Limbs Treated With Polymethylmethacrylate Microspheres Using the BioSculpt® Technique

Dermatoporosis is a syndrome of fragility or chronic cutaneous insufficiency. It presents with localized violaceous spots on the extensor face of the upper limbs of older people, with signs such as senile purpura, actinic purpura, or Bateman purpura, in addition to atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. These lesions can be painful and a source of morbidity. We report a case of an 80-year-old patient presented for the treatment of dermatoporosis in the upper limbs with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) using the BioSculpt®technique. The photographic and ultrasonographic clinical responses of the soft tissue were evaluated before and after nine months of treatment.
