We have many treatments for the aging hand like fillers to improve the bony\/veiny look and lasers to diminish brown spots and wrinkles.<\/strong> There are now 2 FDA approved fillers for the hand: Restylane\u00ae <\/span>Lyft<\/a> (new for hands) and Radiesse\u00ae<\/span>. Both achieve a very natural look. The treatment is straightforward and the results are often immediate.<\/p>\n

The procedure is performed by first cleaning the hand,\u00a0<\/strong>then the filler is injected in between the knuckles while\u00a0<\/strong>the skin is pulled up.<\/strong> The filler is then smoothed out and fills the surface skin. This creates a layer between the underside of the skin and the muscle and veins. The hands appear more opaque and less bony, a very youthifying procedure. How do we avoid the veins? Although these veins are superficial, they are deeper than you might think, therefore, we can stay above them.<\/p>\n

What are the side effects? Swelling and bruising are #1 and #2.<\/strong> As with all filler procedures, we cannot guarantee we will not have these, but these are temporary side effects and often pretty mild. Occasionally, there will be a more prolonged (4-8 weeks) discomfort in the hands and rarely there will be a slight reduction in the range of motion. If you go on ADVDERMATOLOGY Facebook or Instagram pages you can view a video of me performing the procedure.<\/p>\n

\"\"We also do Q-switched laser<\/a> and Fraxel\u00ae <\/span><\/a>laser for the surface of the hands to ad<\/strong>dress brown spots.<\/strong> With the former, we perform this when there are only a few sun freckles and we target those areas. The laser \u201czaps\u201d the pigment and causes the skin to crust over; this heals\u00a0 in 7-10 days and usually, one treatment does resolve them completely (occasionally a second treatment is needed).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We use the Fraxel\u00ae <\/span>Thulium<\/a> when the sun damage is more diffuse and\/or\u00a0<\/strong>\"\"wrinkles or texture could be improved as well.<\/strong> In this case, we perform the laser over the entire surface of the backs of the hands and this causes the skin to peel for 5-10 days. After this, clearer brighter smoother skin appears. We usually recommend 2 treatments for optimal treatment. All laser procedures have potential side effects, such as scarring, infection, and discoloration. These are exceedingly rare and we take every precaution to avoid them.<\/p>\n
