Are your hands revealing your true age? Rewind time by rejuvenating your hands with Hyaluronic filler.
As we age, atrophy occurs in the muscles and subcutaneous fat on the top of the hands which creates hollowing of the dorsal web spaces and wrinkles. These characteristics combined with the laxity of the skin makes the veins and tendons of the hands more prominent and give hands an aged appearance. Although there is a plethora of options for achieving a youthful, balanced facial aesthetic, there are only a few options when it comes to hand rejuvenation.
Hyaluronic filler is one option used to reverse some of the signs of aging hands. The filler is injected into the back of the hands to replace volume loss caused by atrophy. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Restylane Lyft, a hyaluronic filler to be used to improve the appearance of aged hands.
The procedure is non-invasive and typically takes about thirty minutes, making it easy to return to your normal daily activities. Typically, a local anesthetic or numbing cream is applied prior to injecting the filler to insure minimal discomfort. The provider carefully inserts the injection to the back of your hands and “molds” the gel-like filler under your skin for natural, healthy, and youthful appearing hands. When the procedure is complete, you can expect to see immediate results that will last.
Overall, hand filler is one of the most safe and effective ways of treating aged hands with visible veins, tendons, and wrinkles while restoring youth.
