Hand Rejuvenation with Tissue Fillers

It is a little realized fact that due to exposure to the natural elements, along with the varying uses we put them to, our hands are subject to increased aging, and become one of the most easily visible signs of that fact in the body.

Skin on the hands and cleavage area is much thinner than on the face, and as we age, the fatty deposits in those areas becomes thinner, causing a more pronouned, bony look. Along with sun damage, the skin appears drier, thinner and more crepey. Since the hands are always on show they can easily give away your age, even thought the face may still look young.

The evolution of medicine has paved a way toward significant advancement in techniques for erasing signs of aging from the human face. However, medical professionals have been largely unsuccessful in evaluating and studying the effects of dermal aging in other areas of the body—such as the hands. But not so any longer.

With advances in the use of soft tissue fillers, such as Radiesse® and Restylane®, thse signs of aging are easily and dramatically reversible.

The objective of rejuvenating the hands is to add generalized fullness to the skin and subcutaneous tissue in order to add volume to the hand forming the joint with a youthful fullness.Candidates for hand rejuvenation with this dermal filler are women, and indeed men, with loss of subcutaneous fullness of the dorsal hand and thinning of the skin. The prominence of tendons and veins are the additional signs for rejuvenation.

Your hands can be young and beautiful again.
