How Many Syringes of Radiesse Are Needed for Hand Rejuvenation?

Question

I was informed by my clinic that the price for hand rejuvenation using Radiesse filler was £500. I had the treatment and at first my hands were swollen. The swelling then went down and they are now the same as they were pre-treatment. I have looked at photos pre-treatment which confirms this. My clinic now says they only used 1 vial and that 2 vials are normally used and I would have to pay another £500. Is this normal?

That's a good question.  Everyone has different sized hands and different amounts of volume loss and aging to address.  In general, one syringe per hand is average.  Some patients need 1.5 syringes per hand depending on the amount of volume loss and aging.

Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, MD · Answer

Usually, the hand rejuvenation requires at least two 1.5cc syringes of Radiesse to lift and contour the backs of the hands.  You may require a touch up with an additional 1.5 cc split between both hands in 1-3 months.

Thank you for your question.  I typically start with one syringe in each hand, but it will depend on the physical exam starting point and the desired look.

The amount of product recommended will depend on each patient's desired results.  While traditional fillers like Radiesse can be used for hand rejuvenation you may want to consider Renuva.  This product is specifically designed to address age related fat loss.  It works similarly to traditional fillers when first injected and you will notice an improvement and improved volume.  However over time Renuva will be replaced by your body's own fat which will give you longer lasting results.  See my website or a provider near you to learn more.

Same answer, I always use 1.5 cc (1 syringe) per hand. With less, it doesn't make such a difference and does not last long enough. 
So 2 syringes of Radiesse is the way to go.

One of the things that can make hands look aged is bulging veins on the back of the hands. We offer patients HVR, a minimally-invasive, in-office procedure that takes about 20-30 minutes and provides permanent results.  Results are also *immediate*. Make sure you go to a physician with plenty of experience with this procedure before proceeding.

Gary Nackman, MD, FACS · Answer

I usually start with 1 syringe per hand. If the patient needs more, and many do require a second treatment, I may split a second syringe between both hands. I offer a discount on the second treatment.

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

Normally one syringe per hand is recommended for best results with hand rejuvination. With any filler there is always a chance of swelling.

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD · Answer

Rejuvenation of the
hands is gaining popularity.  One reason is the recent FDA approval of the
Deep Calcium Based Filler: Radiesse, to plump volume when tendons and veins
become very visible in the aging hand.  There are other topical agents for
pigmentation and texture especially in the Z.O. Skin Health Product Line

Josef Hadeed, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  There is usually some amount of swelling after injecting the hands with a dermal filler such as Radiesse.  The amount of filler that is required for each hand will depend on several factors, such as the amount of volume loss and your individual goals.  Best wishes.
