When it comes to anti-aging, most people think about treating the face first, but your hands can be just as revealing. Over time, the skin on the hands naturally loses volume and elasticity, making veins, tendons, and bones more noticeable. At Austin Cosmetic MedSpa, we offer Radiesse® for hand rejuvenation, an FDA-approved filler designed to restore youthful volume and smoothness.
Why Hands Show Age So Quickly
The skin on the back of the hands is thinner than other areas of the body and is exposed daily to sun, environmental stressors, and frequent washing. As collagen and elastin break down with age, this delicate area begins to look hollow and less plump. Prominent veins and tendons, thinning skin, and loss of volume can make the hands look older than the face.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It immediately restores volume while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. This unique dual action means patients enjoy both instant improvement and long-lasting rejuvenation.
How Radiesse Works for Hand Rejuvenation
When placed just beneath the skin, Radiesse restores lost fullness, softens the appearance of veins and tendons, and improves skin quality over time as collagen develops. The result is smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking hands that can last up to 12 to 18 months.
The Treatment and Recovery Experience
A Radiesse hand treatment is quick and convenient, often taking less than half an hour. The filler is blended with lidocaine to increase comfort, and most patients find the procedure very tolerable. There is little to no downtime, though mild swelling or bruising may occur.
Recovery follows a predictable timeline. During the first one to two days, the hands may feel puffy, tight, and sometimes bruised. By the end of the first week, most swelling and bruising begin to fade. At the two-week mark, the hands generally look back to normal, and by three to four weeks, patients can expect to see the final, natural-looking results.
Who Is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates are individuals who notice thinning skin on the hands, more prominent veins, or a lack of youthful volume. It is also a great option for anyone seeking a non-surgical treatment with long-lasting, natural results and minimal recovery time.
