The report investigates hand rejuvenation using a novel dermal filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite. Hands undergo aging due to environmental factors and age-related changes. We present a case report of a patient who received applications of the product on the dorsum of the hand, exhibiting visible improvement in volume and reduced visibility of veins and tendons. Aesthetic evaluation indicates a 'very much improved' outcome, both for the physician and the patient. This report highlights the promising application of the novel dermal filler for hand rejuvenation.

Background: The perception of body image is highly influenced by culture and society. Lean, more muscular, and strong bodies are usually pursued by men. Body aesthetics procedures have become popular, and minimally invasive procedures have been used to achieve body image satisfaction. Methods: This article describes a technique that utilizes hyaluronic acid filler to enhance muscular contours in the abdominal and pectoral regions. The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid filler at a level anterior to the pectoralis major and rectus abdominis muscles through marked entry points, creating an illusion of light and shadow that accentuates muscle definition. Additionally, the iliac region can be addressed to enhance the oblique muscles. Results: The results are illustrated with pre- and postprocedure images, demonstrating a significant aesthetic improvement, high patient satisfaction, and absence of serious adverse events. Conclusions: This minimally invasive technique is suitable for patients with a low body fat percentage and a desire to enhance muscle definition, providing immediate results with no downtime. Although the scientific literature on filler applications in the thoracoabdominal region is limited, this study demonstrates that precision in minimally invasive procedures can yield highly satisfactory outcomes.
