Study Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to guide volumetric rejuvenation on dorsal hands with the maximal aesthetic appearance. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Which fatty layer(s) is/are the most suitable for filler injection?

  • Is it feasible to make precise filler injections with sonography guidance? Participants will receive sonography-guided injection on the one hand and another with blinded injection.

Eligibility Criteria

Study Description

In our previous study, volumetric fat loss was noted in the 3 fatty laminae of dorsal hands during aging; the dorsal intermediate lamina (DIL) showed the greatest progressive fat loss after the age of 30. Volumetric rejuvenation of the 3 laminae may result in the most aesthetic appearance, especially in women. It is necessary to develop precise rejuvenation therapies according to the aging process of the dorsum of the hands that will yield the most aesthetic appearance.
