Hands

Hand treatment is an essential component of a global aesthetic approach, often overlooked in favor of the face. Over time, hands undergo significant changes, including volume loss, increased visibility of veins and tendons, and altered skin quality. The use of hand hyaluronic acid offers an effective solution to restore youth and harmony to this area.

Why treat hand aging with hand hyaluronic acid?

Hands are constantly exposed to external aggressions (sun, cold, chemicals) and are a direct reflection of our age. Signs of aging include:

• Subcutaneous volume loss: The back of the hands becomes hollow, making underlying anatomical structures more distinctly visible.
• Skin thinning: The skin loses its elasticity and firmness, becoming thinner and more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
• Appearance of pigment spots: Often called "age spots" or solar lentigines.
• Increased visibility of veins and tendons: Due to the decrease in adipose tissue.

Hyaluronic acid is a preferred choice to address these concerns, thanks to its volumizing and hydrating properties.

Mechanism of action of hyaluronic acid for hands

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the body, known for its ability to retain water. When injected into the back of the hands, it acts in several ways:

• Volume restoration: It fills depressions and restores plumpness to the hands, reducing the skeletal appearance.
• Deep hydration: It improves skin quality by increasing its hydration and elasticity.
• Attenuation of aging signs: By restoring volume, it masks prominent veins and tendons, and smooths the skin surface.

Choosing the right hyaluronic acid for hand filling

Product selection is crucial for achieving natural and lasting results. For hand filling, practitioners generally prefer medium to high viscosity hyaluronic acids, specifically formulated for volumetric restoration. These products are designed to offer good projection capacity and harmonious tissue integration.

Recognized brands in the medical aesthetics field offer ranges adapted for hand treatments, such as Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, Saypha, Teosyal, or Filorga. Each product has specific rheological characteristics (HA concentration, cross-linking degree) that influence its longevity and behavior once injected.

The objective is to choose a product that offers adequate volumization without creating irregularities, while respecting the anatomy and dynamics of the hands. The durability of results generally varies between 9 and 18 months, depending on the product used, the injection technique, and individual patient factors.
