How Long Does Radiesse Last in the Hands?

Thank you for your question. Radiesse is one of the FDA-approved injectable fillers for hands. The procedure takes about 10 minutes, lasts for about 1 year regardless of frequency of hand use, and often requires at least 1 syringe per hand. Always consult with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is familiar with these types of injection.

Thank you for the great question.  Radiesse is a unique filler in that it is composed of both a carrier gel and the calcium hydroxylapatite which is a compound found in human bones. Radiesse stimulates the body to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid, which rejuvenates the hands. Results in the hands last about a year - this depends on how the individual patient responds to the product.  
As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice. 

Thank you for your question. Radiesse is supposed to last about a year, those who move their hands a lot may have it last a shorter amount of time, (9 months).   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.
