Does using both Juvederm and Radiesse increase the longevity over just using Radiesse alone? How common it this treatment combo?

Fillers for the hands
Greetings~
We do quite a bit of Radiesse and hand rejuvenation in our practice. We get great results with Radiesse in the hands! Patients are extremely pleased with the results. I don't think it's necessary to use Juvederm and Radiesse for the best results in the hands...and if I were to choose one for this indication based on results and longevity it would be Radiesse.
Good luck~

No, using two temporary fillers together does not increase the longevity of either. Radiesse does work well in the hands but Sculptra, IMHO is a better option and it lasts 2 years.

Radiesse is Excellent for the Hands
Radiesse has excellent results in the hands -- they look younger, less "veiny". Sculptra also produces excellent results. Usually Juvederm is not used in the hands. If injected superficially, a bluish hue can result known as the Tyndall Effect.

Hand rejuvenation
In my opinion, choosing the right filler is based on patient and doctor preference. Radiesse and juvederm work well, but if you want longevity, sculptra would be best. Also in our practice, I will combine laser resurfacing the skin of the hands as well. This also helps in the rejuvenation. Ask you surgeon about laser re-surfacing of the hand.

Radiesse for the hands
I prefer Radiesse in the hands over Juvederm or Hyaluronic acid fillers. Radiesse tends to provide longer lasting volume in this area.

Juvederm and Radiesse to Augment the Hands
There is no advantage to using both Radiesse and Juvederm to augment the hands to reverse the physical signs of the aging process. My first choice is the patient's own fat, followed by Radiesse injections.

Hand Rejuvenation Is An Important Part of Overall Rejuvenation
No matter how nice the face and neck may look after nonsurgical rejuvenation techniques, untreated hands can be the biggest betrayor of a person's true age. Bulging veins and tendons on the backs of the hands scream aging as loudly as bags and tear troughs under the eyes or sagging marionette line angles at the sides of the mouth.
Radiesse, composed of calcium hydroxyl apatite, is my first choice for treating this area. It is a natural material, which has been found to be very...

Radiesse is enough
Radiesse itself will give you a good correction and should last longet than juvederm. I see no reason to get complicated and use both. Use radiesse by itself

Radiesse is best for hand rejuvenation
When it comes to fillers for hand rejuvenation, Radiesse is by far the best, "hands down". One 1.5 cc syringe should be injected per hand and it should not be combined with other fillers. Radiesse has many advantages over Sculptra for hands: Radiesse takes only one treatment instead of multiple treatments for Sculptra, the results of Radiesse injections are immediate whereas Sculptra injections take six to nine months to fully work, and Radiesse is less expensive.

Old looking hands - restoring volume (Radiesse, Juvederm, fat transfer, etc)
To restore volume to "old-looking" hands, I prefer Radiesse or autologous fat (fat taken from one part of your body and injected into the backs of your hands). Both give excellent results. You have less down time with Radiesse than you would with autologous fat, but, even with the fat transfer procedure, post-operative pain/swelling/bruising is really minimal. I never use a hyaluronic acid filler (like Juvederm or Restylane) to restore volume to the hands. Using it in combination...

Juvederm and Radiesse in the Hands
The first thing I always suggest about hands is: use your sunscreen, every day! So often people have nice facial skin, and old looking hands! For actual volume for the hands, I recommend Radiesse more often as it lasts longer there. Adding Juvederm on top won't increase longevity.

Radiesse in Hands
Radiesse has great results in the hands. Most people need one syringe in each hand. After injection, the practitioner will massage the area and my recommendation is to put a glove on and sit on it for 5 minutes. I would not do Juvederm, Restylane or even Sculptra in the hands. Ben Behnam MD

Hand Rejuvenation
Radiesse in the hands gives great results without having to combine it with other fillers. Please consult with your board certified specialist to determine the best way to achieve the results you seek.

Hands
The ever present question is why does you face look so young and your hands so old? Hand injections are more popular than ever. I think you need only one type of filler.
