Hand Rejuvenation With Radiesse Offers Top Results
Many individuals take time to treat their face and body with care, but often neglect their hands. However, hands deserve appropriate attention, as decreased collagen and wrinkles can age delicate skin and cause patients to look older.
Fortunately, hand rejuvenation can be performed quickly, safely, and effectively using a cosmetic injectable called Radiesse.
WHAT IS RADIESSE?
Radiesse is a dermal filler that is FDA-approved to smooth wrinkles and folds on the hands and face. Its made of synthetic Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel and can immediately plump skin and restore volume.
HOW DOES RADIESSE REJUVENATE HANDS?
Once injected under the skin, Radiesse not only provides instant correction, but it continues to work by stimulating collagen production.
In fact, the aqueous gel is gradually absorbed, and the body then metabolizes the CaHA microspheres. As a result, all that remains is your bodys own natural collagen.
HOW IS THE TREATMENT PERFORMED?
Radiesse should be performed by a highly-skilled and experienced injector who will assess your hands and discuss your concerns prior to the procedure.
Next, the hands are marked to outline the treatment area, and then a series of injections are administered using a small needle. The appointment often lasts less than 15 minutes, and patients are able to return to their normal activities right away.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER HAND REJUVENATION WITH RADIESSE?
You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising and should avoid sun, heat, and strenuous activity for 24 hours or until these symptoms resolve.
Additionally, its important to apply a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen to hands with at least a 30 SPF.
Patients note that their hands look younger and refreshed that same day, and results will continue to improve with the growth of new collagen. The effects of Radiesse can last a year or longer.
