Hand Rejuvenation

While a lot of attention is paid to facial rejuvenation when it comes to combating the signs of aging, your hands may still give your true age away. As we age, our skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, causing the skin to become loose and wrinkled, and veins and tendons to appear more prominent. Hand rejuvenation is designed to reverse these effects and restore youthful volume.

Procedure

A dermal filler can help stimulate collagen production in your hands so that your skin appears naturally revitalized with added volume. The Radiesse® volumizing filler is specially made with a special gel-matrix which works quickly to give the skin on your hand’s volume and lift. This type of filler is injected into the surface with a very fine needle for an outpatient procedure.

Benefits

A hand rejuvenation can restore lost volume, minimize the appearance of prominent veins and tendons, improve skin texture and tone, remove age spots, and overall reduce the signs of aging in the hands.
