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.

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.
