You’ve done everything you can to keep your face looking young and revitalized but have you forgotten about one of the other most age-telling parts of your body? Just as your face shows signs of aging, so do your hands. That’s right. Your hands can easily give away your age.
But thanks to an already popular dermal filler, Radiesse®, the old adage that if you want to know someone’s real age just look at their hands is going to be a little less reliable.
Just like your face, your hands are almost always exposed to the elements. Chronic sun exposure can leave your hands loose and discolored with sunspots. Add age on top of that and you have a bony hand with veins sticking out.
Over time, you begin to lose collagen in your hands, causing you to lose plumpness and firmness, hence giving you the bony skeletal appearance. Now you can stop the aging of your hands in its tracks with an easy, nonsurgical procedure.
The FDA recently approved Radiesse® as the first product for hand augmentation. Radiesse® is already known for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles on your face, but now it is being used to restore volume to your hands, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Radiesse® is an injectable filler that contains a mixture of calcium ions, hydrogen, and carbon which is administered as a milky, opaque gel-like substance, making it ideal for hiding veins.
Radiesse® is injected beneath the skin on the back of your hands. It plumps up your hands by restoring lost volume, which, in turn, helps smooth out lines. The filler also helps stimulate your own body’s production of collagen, giving you natural-looking results that can last for one to two years.
The injectable filler has been around for almost a decade and has proved to be safe and effective for this type of cosmetic procedure. It is important to have a specialist with experience administer the filler to avoid having it injected directly into veins or tendons.
Dr. Supriya Tomar is knowledgeable and experienced with administering these injections and offers Radiesse® at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology for those who live in Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach County.
