If the skin on your hands doesn’t snap back when you pinch it, and your hands are dotted with wrinkles, veins, and brown spots, maybe it’s time to consider a ‘hand lift.’ Hands lose volume, elasticity, and fat as you age, but there are injectable dermal fillers that can rejuvenate their appearance. Can Radiesse be used for the back of the hands?
How Radiesse rejuvenates the hands
The skin is thinner on the back of the hands, and because it loses fat over time, the underlying components such as the veins and bones become more prominent. Radiesse is an excellent solution for restoring a youthful look to the back of the hands, as it replenishes volume to provide an immediate lift.
Radiesse is a temporary, safe option for volumizing the hands, and was recently cleared by the FDA for use in hand augmentation. Results gained with Radiesse look natural and typically last one year.
Radiesse hand rejuvenation treatment takes about 10 minutes to complete. During the procedure a small needle is used to inject the filler below the first layer of skin.
The filler is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that work to fill in the wrinkles on the hands. The microspheres also help to stimulate the production of new collagen, and this has long term rejuvenating benefits.
