Introduction: The temporal region is emblematic and challenging due to its structural and volumetric changes during aging, which significantly affect facial aesthetics. Despite the importance of addressing temporal aging, many injectors hesitate due to the region's anatomical complexity and risk of complications. This consensus aimed to provide expert guidance on the safest and most effective treatment strategies for the temple.

Article Synopsis
- Myomodulation involves enhancing muscle contraction and relaxation through techniques like hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, focusing on the precise anatomical positioning in high-risk areas like the forehead to ensure safety and efficacy.
- The study involved injecting HA into four specimens using three different methods by five experienced plastic surgeons, with ultrasound analysis to evaluate accuracy.
- Results showed that the microcannula and 45-degree needle techniques were effective in delivering filler accurately to the desired layer, while the 90-degree needle caused dispersion of the filler, indicating the importance of technique choice for optimal outcomes.
Introduction: The search for minimally invasive treatments for areas not covered by clothing, such as the arms, has increased, particularly to combat flaccidity resulting from factors such as aging and weight loss. This study evaluated the efficacy of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), an injectable biostimulator, in improving flaccidity and hydration of the skin of the arms.
Materials And Methods: Six women between 40 and 50 years old with visible signs of brachial flaccidity were selected.
Introduction: Hand aging is a prevalent concern characterized by the atrophy of local soft tissues and increased visibility of vessels and tendons. Hyaluronic acid (HA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) are well-established treatments for addressing this issue. While hybrid filler containing HA and CaHA has been proposed for facial rejuvenation, studies investigating its efficacy for hand rejuvenation are lacking.

Methods: Ten participants complaining of sagging or loss of volume in the labia majora were evaluated and randomly assigned to two groups-treated with CaHA or AH. Photographic documentation was taken and appreciated by the participants and by blind observers.
Background: Sagging neck skin is a common complaint, and the use of calcium hydroxyapatite injection is a traditional treatment approach for this region. The published literature is limited concerning the possible interference in imaging exams of hyperdiluted product, which presents radiopaque features, for the assessment of deep structures to the application.
Objective: To assess possible interferences in the ultrasonographic evaluation of thyroid after application of hyperdiluted CaHA on the neck region.
Introduction: The anatomical complexity of the temporal region makes it so treatments with fill-ins are challenging due to high vascular risk. Techniques which provide safer procedures must be encouraged.
Goal: Suggest access to the temple through the inferolateral orbital region as a means for safer temporal fill-ins.
