Hand rejuvenation is a non-surgical treatment designed to restore volume and improve the appearance of aging hands. Using Radiesse®, a long-lasting dermal filler, this procedure provides immediate volume and stimulates natural collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking hands. It's ideal for individuals looking to address volume loss, wrinkles, or prominent veins in the hands without invasive surgery.

The treatment is popular among those seeking to reverse signs of aging on the hands to improve overall skin texture and appearance. Whether addressing age-related volume loss or enhancing skin quality, Radiesse® offers an effective solution with minimal downtime.

Comprehensive Overview of Hand Rejuvenation

Radiesse® is an FDA-approved dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are naturally absorbed by the body over time. When injected into the hands, Radiesse® not only adds immediate volume but also encourages your body’s natural collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness that lasts longer than traditional fillers.

The treatment is quick, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients experience minimal discomfort as a local anesthetic is often applied to the treatment area. Since Radiesse® is a biostimulatory filler, its effects continue to improve over the following weeks, with results lasting up to 12 to 18 months.

Key Benefits of Hand Rejuvenation

• Non-Surgical: Restores volume and smooths hand appearance without the need for surgery.

• Long-Lasting: Results can last up to 18 months, making it a durable option for hand rejuvenation.

• Collagen Stimulation: Radiesse® stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin quality over time.

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are You a Candidate for Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® is an excellent option for individuals experiencing volume loss, wrinkles, or visible veins due to aging. Both men and women can benefit from this non-surgical treatment to restore a more youthful appearance to the hands.

Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. A consultation with a qualified provider will help determine if Radiesse® is the right treatment for your specific needs.

Conditions That May Disqualify You

While hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® is safe for most individuals, there are some conditions that may disqualify you. These include allergies to any of the ingredients in Radiesse®, active skin infections or inflammation, or certain autoimmune disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid Radiesse® treatments.

During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history and assess any potential risks to ensure Radiesse® is a safe and effective option for you.

What Issues Can Hand Rejuvenation Address?

Hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® addresses various concerns related to aging hands. It is effective in restoring lost volume, reducing the prominence of veins and tendons, and improving overall skin texture, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals who notice thinning skin, wrinkles, or other signs of aging in the hands. Radiesse provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production for lasting improvement.

What to Expect During a Hand Rejuvenation Treatment

A hand rejuvenation treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Your provider will start by cleansing the area and possibly applying a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Radiesse® is then injected into targeted areas on the hands to restore volume and smooth skin texture.

The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the injections. The provider may gently massage the area to ensure even distribution and a natural look.

Results and How Long They Last:

• Immediate Volume: You will see an improvement in hand appearance right after treatment.

• Collagen Stimulation: Radiesse® stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin quality over time.

• Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism.

• Gradual Improvement: Full results develop as collagen builds over the next few months.

Recovery and Downtime

Hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment, although mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days. Applying ice and avoiding strenuous activities can help minimize these effects.

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. Your provider will give specific aftercare instructions for optimal results.

Alternatives to Hand Rejuvenation

While Radiesse® is a popular choice for non-surgical hand rejuvenation, other options include hyaluronic acid fillers and chemical peels to address skin texture and pigmentation. For those looking to address multiple aging signs on the hands, combining treatments may provide optimal results.

Consulting with a qualified provider will help you determine the best treatment or combination of treatments based on your goals.
