I'm an author with a deadline and type constantly. I want to fill my veiny, bony hands, but I'm afraid there could be lingering pain after the injections. I'm concerned having the filler injected right next to the bones.
Answer: Restylane and pain Thank you for the question. There are many ways to minimize discomfort. With Restylane and other injectable fillers, your doctor can apply a topical anesthesia first in order to numb the area. Also, most hyaluronic acid fillers are now formulated with lidocaine to make the process as comfortable as possible. Lidocaine containing fillers immediately numb the areas giving you a more pleasant experience. Ice applied after the injection also helps. Overall, most patients find the procedure very quick and comfortable. 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.

Answer: Hand Rejuvenation -- Radiesse/Fillers, Laser/Microneedling Fillers can be placed in the hands with minimal pain and likely no downtime; I prefer Radiesse for this area. I suggest consulting with an expert for further evaluation.

Answer: Restylane filler in the Hands Thank you for your question. There is typically no pain after the injection of Restylane into the hands. If larger volumes (more than 1 syringe per hand) is used there is a higher risk of an adverse event such as pain and swelling. If you desire more than 1 syringe per hand it would be best to have more than 1 treatment session to minimize your complication risk. I wish you the best!

Answer: Hand injections Generally there is no pain and no down time after the injections. Radiesse is a better choice than Restlane and it does not make any difference whether the doctor uses cannula or needle but be sure you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon
