Juvederm Vs Restylane for Hands?

Thank you for your question. We get this question often.  In Las Vegas, we get many card dealers who take pride in the appearance of their hands, as that is what the public sees.  Often the aging had will have more visible vessels and tendons.  The hands may also have solar damage, or just aging changes to the skin.  We often will inject patients with Radiesse to add volume to the hands and decrease the harsh appearance of the vessels and tendons.  Radiesse is FDA approved for this.  We often will follow this up with appropriate peels to help smooth the coloration and give the skin a more vibrant look.  Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  They have had multiple years of hand surgery training, and know hand anatomy and function well.   Some, (like our office), have had additional hand fellowship training.   They are also well versed in how to best treat the skin, as they diagnose and operate on it.

As we age, volume is lost in the back of our hands, and this may result in the visualization of unsightly tendons and veins. In my practice, I have had good success with hand rejuvenation using Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. Please see attached photo which demonstrates hand rejuvenation with Silikon-1000. I do not have any personal experience with HA products for this purpose.

Hope this helps.

Both Juvederm and Restylane can be used in the hands. You may want to consider Renuva as an alternative. This product is specifically designed to address age related fat loss. It is similar to traditional HA fillers in that you will see some improvement immediately from treatment. However it differs in that over time the product is replaced by your body's own fat giving you longer lasting results. No surgery or fat transfer needed. Visit my website to learn more.

Radiesse treatment is the perfect solution. It is a new FDA-approved filler that is injected beneath the skin of the hands. It lifts the skin off the veins and bones and stays there acting like a cushion layer. Your hands immediately look smoothed and plumped. Radiesse gives younger-looking hands painlessly in a few minutes, with results lasting 6-12 months. Sometimes the injection causes a bruise that normally clears up in 3-5 days. And yes, you can treat dark spots on the back of your hands during the same visit.

Hi Crreyna, and thanks for your question!
Both of the products you've referred to in the above question are hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers, and as such exhibit similar (although not identical) characteristics. If looking for a treatment with HA filler, either product could be used to create great results - what really matters is who is performing the treatment.
I recommend consulting with a well-regarded surgeon or physician in your area who can perform an examination & assessment, discuss potential treatment options for you based on your goals and guide you to choose the most appropriate treatment and product for your hands.
Hope that helps,
Dr Scott.

I believe the only filler FDA approved for hand rejuvenation is Radiesse.  I don't use it there but have seen very nice results with it.
