RESULTS OF OUR SURVEYLA MAIN : QUELLES DEMANDES DE TRAITEMENTS ESTHÉTIQUES ? LES RÉSULTATS DE NOTRE ENQUÊTEMATTHIEU BEUSTES-STEFANELLI(FRANCE)Introduction: The hand, along with the face, is the only constantly exposed part of the body, and its appearance therefore plays animportant social role. Nevertheless aesthetic treatments of the hand are still little known and poorly developed. We performed a surveyin a French population to study the aesthetic importance of the hand and the main aesthetic requests which are made.Methods: A questionnaire relating to the hand and its aesthetics was sent by e-mail to a wide population. There were 200 respondents.A statistical analysis was performed by a single observer.Results: The mean grade of importance for hands aesthetics is 3 on a scale of 4. The hand appears in 4th position from an aestheticpoint of view, after the face, the general figure and the skin. The general shape, the quality of the skin, the dorsal aspect of the handand the nails are the most important aesthetic elements. Brown spots, unaesthetic nails, very visible tendons and veins, very thin andwrinkled skin, presence of pathologies or injuries and heavy palmar sweating are the unaesthetic elements which stand out most.Conclusion: This survey confirms the aesthetic importance of the hand in the general population and demonstrates that numerouselements are accessible to corrective treatments which concern various specialities, and which require therefore a multidisciplinaryapproach.SCLEROTHERAPY OF HAND VEINSLA SCLÉROTHÉRAPIE DES VEINES DE LA MAINMARIO VALSAMIS(GREECE)Intention: Injection sclerotherapy is a well known and widely used method of treatment for the varicose veins of the legs and can giveexcellent aesthetic results. The same principles of sclerotherapy have been applied for the aesthetic improvement of the dilated veinsof the hand.Methods: In this non randomized prospective study, 13 women with dilated veins of the dorsum of the hand were treated for anaesthetic improvement of their hands. All the patients were informed, that an overall aesthetic amelioration by the diminution of thevery dilated veins was the goal of the treatment. No vein was to be eradicated. Polidocanol 0.5-0.75%, Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate 0.25-0.5% and Scleremo 70%, all of them in their liquid form, were the sclerotherapeutic agents that were used. Various quantities wereinjected in each hand (max: 2,5cc), depending on the size and the number of the veins we wanted to treat. Both hands were injectedin each session. No bandaging, elastic or not, was applied after the treatment. No precautions and no restrictions were implied afterthe treatment. The achievement of a spasm immediately after the veins have been injected was a good prognostic factor for theresponse of the veins to the treatment. The result of the previous session implied our treatment tactics for the following session. Thetotal result was regarded as satisfactory, when the diameter of the treated veins was such that the patient was overall satisfied.Results: Minimum 1 and maximum 4 sessions were needed for an overall satisfactory result. The age of the patient and the diameterof the veins were two good prognostic factors for the total number of the sessions that were needed and the concentrations and thequantities of the drugs that were used for a good result. In younger patients and in larger venous diameters, we needed more sessionsfor a good result and we used more important concentrations and quantities per session. All our patients supported the injections verywell. There were no complaints during or after the treatment and no oedemas were noted by us or mentioned by the patient.Coclusion: Injection sclerotherapy treatment of hand veins can give good aesthetic results with safety and relative ease.PHLEBECTOMY OF HAND VEINSLA PHLÉBECTOMIE DES VEINES DE LA MAINMARC LEFEBVRE-VILARDEBO(FRANCE)Because of the aging-induced phenomena, hands become commonly thinner and even skinny in elderly people. Dorsal veins candilate or look dilated in contrast. Such aspects can be anatomical for young and slim women. Some feel uncomfortable with such handsin their social life and ask strongly for their unaesthetic veins to be "erased". The easiest solution is the destruction of the veins.The first principle of treatments is to refuse to destroy all dorsal veins even if dilated, for two reasons. Firstly, aging leads to increasingindications for medical perfusions, and hands are usually the initial level of vein punctures. To loose a distal level may lead long lasting71
AESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY & SURGERYperfusions to induce major complications more rapidly. Secondly, superficial dorsal veins are the main channels of venous drainageof the hand. To destroy too many veins may induce a secondary and undesirable dilation of residual veins.The second principle is to give a very selective result. A pretherapeutic agreement decides the veins to be treated and those to bekept in place.Sclerotherapy and phlebectomy are the two possible methods. Injection of sclerosing agents is the less aggressive method. But it ispoorly selective as sclerosis may spread too widely. And results frequently include unaesthetic sub-cutaneously visible cord as residueof the fibrosed vein. The method of our choice is phlebectomy. Performed under local anesthesia, procedure can be precisely tailoredto the initial venous anatomy and keep the chosen veins. Veins are removed with sharp hooks through 1-3 mm incisions, whichbecome invisible 1 to 3 months later. From a series of 45 consecutive patients, all procedures but one have been technicallysuccessfull. No complications or side effects have been noted. The aesthetic satisfaction rate is 97.8 % for both patient and physician.Conclusion: Aging induced hands dilated veins are no more answerless unaesthetic troubles. A meticulous but simple surgicalprocedure may give smile back to our patients.FAT GRAFTING OF THE HANDLA GREFFE GRAISSEUSE DE LA MAINRENÉ-FRANÇOIS NIFOROS(FRANCE)INDICATIONS FOR DYSTROPHIC HAND VEINS : DICUSSION FROM CLINICAL CASESINDICATIONS POUR LA DYSTROPHIE DES VEINES DE LA MAIN : DISCUSSION SUR DES CAS CLINIQUESPANEL SPEAKERSTREATMENT OF HAND PIGMENTARY DISORDERS (BROWN SPOTS)LE TRAITEMENT DES TROUBLES PIGMENTAIRES DE LA MAIN (TACHES BRUNES)TORELLO LOTTI(ITALY)Smaller darkened patches can occur usually on photoexposed skin of older adults who have been exposed to the sun for many years.These spots can be seen on the face, forearms and backs of hands. Brown marks may fade with careful sun protection, broadspectrum sunscreen applied daily for 9 months of the year. Regular applications of anti-aging or fading creams may also help. Thesemay contain hydroquinone, or antioxidants such as: alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin-C, retinoids, azelaic acid. However, brown marksmay be removed more rapidly and effectively by chemical peels, cryotherapy or certain pigment lasers that target melanin in the skin.Multiple treatments may be necessary. Suitable green-light devices include: Flashlamp-pulsed tunable dye laser and Frequencydoubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (neodynium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet), while suitable red light devices include: Q-switchedAlexandrite and Q-switched Ruby Intense pulsed light has a similar effect. Ablative lasers (carbon dioxide and Erbium:YAG lasers)vaporise the surface skin thus removing the pigmented lesions. A fractional laser may also have some efficacy. Results are variablebut sometimes very impressive with minimal risk of scarring.HAND REJUVENATION WITH CHEMICAL PEELS AND FILLERSLE RAJEUNISSEMENT DE LA MAIN AVEC LES PEELINGS CHIMIQUES ET LES PRODUITS DE COMBLEMENTSOHAIL MANSOOR(UK)AGING NAILSLE VIEILLISSEMENT DES ONGLESECKART HANEKE(GERMANY)SESSION 1811.00 am / 11h00BREASTS IN ARTLES SEINS DANS L'ARTBREAST REJUVENATIONRAJEUNISSEMENT DES SEINSCHAIR: JEAN-CHRISTOPHE BICHET PLASTIC SURGEON (PARIS, FRANCE)MICHAEL SCHEFLAN PLASTIC SURGEON (TEL AVIV, ISRAEL)PHILIPPE COMAR(FRANCE)WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE AGING PROCESS ON THE BREASTCE QU'IL FAUT PRENDRE EN COMPTE DANS LE PROCESSUS DE VIEILLISSEMENT DES SEINSJAVIER DE BENITO(SPAIN)72
