I'm trying to do something to improve both the skin texture and volume loss on my hands. I've tried a series of Fraxel laser and have also tried Radiesse several times, though nothing really helps. The Radiesse just makes my hands painful/swollen for a week or two then everything is back to square one. Would Radiesse be a good option? Or are there other things I should try? Thaks so much!
Answer: Sculptra Not Best Choice for Hand Rejuvenation Sculptra is not typically recommended for hand rejuvenation, as this area is somewhat thin and can end up looking lumpy. Radiesse is usually the filler I use for minimizing the appearance of prominent veins on the backs of the hands. Another option would be sclerotherapy, which is an injectable treatment that delivers a sclerosing agent into the vein that collapses it so it disappears from view. If brown spots are a bigger concern, I offer Fraxel Dual and an Alexandrite laser, often in combination, to treat these aging symptoms. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in customizing hand rejuvenation treatments to the unique needs of each patient. Through a thorough examination and discussion of your concerns and goals, your doctor can customize a treatment plan that works best for you.

Answer: Hand Rejuvenation Explore Renuva! This treatment is different than traditional fillers. Once Renuva is injected it is gradually replaced by your own fat cells giving a longer lasting result. Over a few months you will begin to notice improvement in volume and a more youthful appearance to your hands. Visit my website or an elite injector near you to learn more.

Answer: Filler for Hand Rejuvenation Hi and thank you for your question! Based on your description you seem to be a good candidate for hand rejuvenation with fillers but it is surprising that apparently you didn't see the results you hoped. Is it possible that you didn't get the full recommended amount of filler? Also, I highly suggest that you do an accurate and objective comparison using pictures taken before the filler injections and hopefully you will be able to spot the results and improvements. For further treatment, fillers remain the main option and for hands, we usually use Radiesse or Juvederm but Sculptra is generally not recommended for hands. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Hand rejuvenation Thank you for your question. I'm sorry that Radiesse makes your hands painful and swollen. In my opinion Radiesse is the best for hand rejuvenation. Results vary depending on the patient, therefore, you may need to get more treatments to maintain the look you desire. I would suggest discussing your concerns with your physician in order to find ways to minimize the side effects. All the best!

Answer: Can Sculptra be used on the hands? Sculptra may lead to firm, visible nodules when injected into the hands. The purpose of adding filler to the back of your hands is to hide visible veins and tendons that become visible with aging. Hand injections are not helpful for textural issues of the skin. We prefer using microdroplet Silikon1000 for permanent results. Thank you.
