Why is Hand Anti-Aging necessary?
Our hands are constantly exposed and rarely receive the same attention as the face or neck. Over time, the skin becomes thinner, subcutaneous fat is lost, and the following appear:
- Photoaging: Spots and pigmentation (solar lentigines).
- Volume Loss: Hands appear “skeletal” and veins/tendons become more prominent.
- Texture Changes: The skin becomes thinner, drier, and wrinkled.
Hand Anti-Aging is not just an aesthetic procedure. It is an intervention that restores harmony and balance to your appearance, offering hands that complement the youthful look of your face.
Who is the ideal candidate for Hand Anti-Aging?
Hand Anti-Aging is suitable for anyone who:
- Notices the appearance of brown spots (pigmentation) on their hands.
- Has hands that look thin and “skeletal” due to fat loss.
- Is bothered by the prominent visibility of veins and tendons.
- Wants hands that match the more youthful appearance of their face.
What treatments are used for Hand Anti-Aging?
At Dr. Floros’ clinic, we use combination treatments to address all signs of aging:
- Volume Restoration with Injectable Fillers:
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (Radiesse): A leading biostimulatory filler that provides immediate volume restoration and stimulates natural collagen production, improving skin texture long-term.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Used for immediate volume replenishment, reducing the visibility of veins and tendons while deeply hydrating the skin.
- Autologous Fat (Lipofilling): A more permanent solution. Fat is transferred from another area of your body to the hands, providing natural volume and improving skin quality due to the stem cells it contains.
- Treatment of Spots and Discoloration with Laser:
- Advanced Lasers: Latest-generation lasers precisely target pigmented spots, breaking down melanin accumulation without damaging surrounding skin. This treatment effectively resolves skin discolorations and evens out skin tone.
How is the Hand Anti-Aging procedure with injectable fillers performed?
The procedure is simple, quick, and performed in the clinic:
- Preparation: Cleansing of the area and application of topical anesthetic cream.
- Injection: Dr. Floros uses special, atraumatic needles (cannulas) for even distribution of the filler (calcium hydroxylapatite/hyaluronic acid) on the back of the hands.
- Massage: Gentle massage for proper distribution of the material.
- Duration: The entire process rarely exceeds 30 minutes.
