Are your hands your biggest skin concern?

Are your hands your biggest skin concern?

Do you hate the bulging veins and thinning skin on your hands? Do you want to correct the blotchy discolouration on the back of your hands?

Frequently the focus of cosmetic improvement is the face, but our most evident feature of skin ageing may be our hands. Hand rejuvenation is becoming an increasingly popular minimally-invasive dermatologic procedure. As we age, our hands lose volume and begin to look haggard and bony with protrusion of veins and tendons, thinning skin, poor skin texture and discolouration from sun exposure. Hand rejuvenation can create a more youthful appearance to the back of the hands.

Complete hand rejuvenation combines volume-replacing dermal filler (typically Radiesse, or Voluma) which is combined with laser treatments such as IPL to improve blotchy pigmentation or Fractionated Laser to improve skin texture for optimal results.

​Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite, a normal constituent of bone. It is placed in the areas of hollowing where bone density is lost over time, such as the temples, cheeks, and jawline.
Radiesse is approved for Hand Rejuvenation to correct volume loss in the back of hands, reducing the visibility of tendons and veins which age the hands. Radiesse restores volume to the hand while providing smooth, natural-looking results that can be seen immediately and can last up to 1 year.
