Currently, dorsal hand rejuvenation is an upcoming issue as patients seek plastic surgeons
to address this highly visible area, although no specific statistics concerning the number
of patients undergoing dorsal hand rejuvenation have been published yet. The solitary use of
fillers, fat, sclerotherapy, skin excision, resurfacing and combinations of the above
mentioned therapies have been reported in the literature, but still there is a lack of
scientific literature about functional microcirculation of the dorsum of the hand.
Furthermore, there is a lack of scientific data about functional microcirculation of the
plantar foot in healthy subjects compared to patients suffering from Diabetes mellitus or
peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Consequently, the aim of this study is the evaluation
of the functional microcirculation of hands and feet in healthy subjects as well as patients
suffering from the above mentioned diseases.
