Hands Rejuvenation/Dermal Fillers for Hands

ABOUT HANDS

Many patients are pursuing simultaneous facial and hand rejuvenation with the latter receiving increased interest in recent years.

The hands, just like the face, are also highly visible and are subjected to the ageing. As the hands age at similar rate as the face, it is vital that hand rejuvenation is considered as an integral part of our holistic approach to aesthetic medicine.

 

WHY HANDS FILLER?

The appearance of the hands are a reliable indicator of age. With time, there is volume depletion of the hands coming from atrophy within the fat deposits and thinning of the overlying skin. This results in more prominence and visibility of the underlying tendons, bones and veins.

Dermal fillers can rejuvenate the hand by improving:

  1. Wrinkles in the hands;
  2. Skin quality of the hands;
  3. Volume in the hands.

Clinical Dosage

1 or more sessions may be required depending on the severity of volume loss.

The condition of the hands may improve with the collagen stimulatory effects from the treatment.

Pain Relief

This procedure is very well tolerated with minimal injection points. Local anaesthetic is also present in hand fillers which will make the procedure even more tolerable.

Injecting Methods

A blunt dermal-filling cannula is typically used with one-three entry points per hand. This technique allows even distribution of the hands and is less traumatic to the tissue.

Product Choice

For hand rejuvenation, a filler with dual filler and collagen stimulating properties is commonly used. Occasionally, sugar-based dermal filler may be used.
