Make Your Hands Look Younger!

The hands can age due to sun exposure and other environmental causes. Also, aging and loss of collagen can cause the skin on the back of the hand to become loose and expose veins, bones and tendons. These effects combined can give the impression of aged hand and perhaps imply older age of a person.

There a many techniques to help rejuvenate the hands including lasers, chemical peels and fillers. Fillers can be injected under the skin of the hand to plump up the skin to help hide veins and tendons. Synthetic fillers such as Radiesse can be used with great success. Also, fat can be harvested from other parts of the body and injected under the skin in the hands.

Below is an example of Radiesse injection in the hand in one of our patients. For more
