Radiesse for Hands
Just as our faces change with age, so do our hands. When you think of youthful hands, you probably envision smooth, soft skin. In order to restore this look to aged hands, Radiesse is used to restore lost collagen stores. This treatment is FDA-approved, quick, and requires no downtime, so you can enjoy your results right away for a boost in confidence!
What is Radiesse for Hands?
Radiesse is used for the back of the hands where youthful volume has been lost. It restores this volume using its cutting-edge formula, made up of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqua gel carrier. Over time, this gel is absorbed and your body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind your own collagen for smoother, more youthful-looking hands.
Radiesse for hands is used primarily for:
- Minimizing the appearance of veins and tendons in the back of the hands.
- Creating a smooth, natural-looking result.
Who is a Good Candidate for Radiesse for Hands?
Individuals above age 21 who wish to restore youthful fullness to the backs of their hands are often good candidates. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or are taking blood thinners, Radiesse may not be the best choice for you. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Radiesse is through a consultation appointment with Dr. Walker.
How is the Radiesse for Hands Procedure Done?
Dr. Walker will carefully inject Radiesse under the skin on the back of your hands to smooth the appearance of veins, wrinkles, and tendons. He will then gently massage the filler into place for an even distribution. Treatment is quick, usually taking about 15 minutes to complete.
Radiesse for Hands Recovery
There is little to no downtime required after Radiesse injections. Following treatment, clients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which is normal, and will dissipate with time. Ice packs can be applied to the treatment areas to minimize swelling. Vigorous hand movements should be avoided for 24 hours after your treatment to ensure an ideal outcome. Results can last from 12-18 months before a touch-up is needed.
