Filler Produced
Do your hands give your age? In many people, the hands are as revealing as the face of our age. But our faces, understandably, received much more attention and hands are often forgotten. (but not without being seen by others) As we age, our hands (especially women) who loose fullness once plump and youthful. Hands aging become thinner with the vein and the joint statement, creapy loose skin and brown spots on the back of them. These changes are caused by exposure Chronic sun and extensive use. While hand creams are a good first line of defense, are not sufficient to produce a dramatic rejuvenating effect.
Add volume to hand over injectable fillers is a good way to reduce the prominence of veins and give a more sleek. The question …. is that filling injection? In my experience, there are 4 options … three off-the-shelf and an operative part (which is only done if you are in the operating room anyway for other procedures)
While all Hyaluron-based injectable fillers (eg Restylane, Juvaderm) are very well tolerated, its effects are very short term and do nothing to stimulate the real growth of collagen tissue so they prefer not to use them in their hands. The particulate fillers such as Radiesse and Artefill are better options because they last longer and can actually help stimulate tissue growth conducive to long-term results. Radiesse uses ceramic resorbable accounts in their mixture what the effects are immediate, but the grains are finally reabsorbed over a year or so. It is also white, though much of this is masked by the color skin. Artefill uses nonabsorbable plastic beads on a base of collagen, which is much more likely to last longer and produce a better result tissue thickening. Because both filled with particles have a tendency to "clustering" and irregularities, the injection technique is critical and it is best not to inject too at a time. A few treatments stages (space for 6 to 8 weeks apart) slowly adding the volume, and make daily massage in the areas injected is the best way to ensure a good future outcome. Sculptra is another option out of the fill of the platform is really how to inject "liquid plastic" instead of an approach accounts or particles. His material is resorbable over time and have to be very careful in volume too much at once because it can cause local tissue reactions. What of these were injecting equipment platform is better for the hands is not yet known …. and none are FDA approved so far for use in hands.
Another option of injectables, which has been around for a long time with a complete history of use in the hands … is your own fat. This is undoubtedly the choice of injectable filler with less potential for any inconvenience except that historically has not lasted. In the past I have made some wonderful results with it, because it bridges the areas depressed in the rays (fingers) very well creating a nice plump hand. Five to seven ccs of fat in each hand (which is much more volume than you could pay with an off-the-shelf-filler) is about what each needs. But the long-term outcome has been disappointing. Now, cleaning up and improving methods of concentration, and with addition of concentrated PRP (platelets taken from the patient), fats are more likely to have a better long term result. For this reason, this is my preferred method when the patient is in the operating room anyway … especially if you are already having a liposuction procedure.
Rejuvenation hands, sometimes referred to as a command of 'show of hands "(fake but catchy nonetheless), is based on the concept of volume restoration. Whether is a synthetic injectable filler or your own fat, short-term results seem very good. If they will stand the test of time and what complications can arise even not yet known. But at this point in time, I will give at least temporary thumbs up with the other four fingers still in neutral.
