Hand
Rejuvenation
What is hand
rejuvenation?
Our hands can often be the biggest give-away of our age.
​
Most aesthetic treatments tend to focus on the face and neck, but your hands often get left to fend for themselves.
​
Our jobs, lifestyle and hobbies can all mean our hands take a battering. So what can we do to give them a little TLC...
By injecting a soft and hydrating hyaluronic acid under the skin on the backs of the hands we are able to rejuvenate tired, ageing hands.
​
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is made naturally by the body and found in the skin and joints, and its function is to provide volume and hydration.
​
For the hands, we can either use hyaluronic acid fillers, or a new revolutionary treatment called Profhilo (which not only hydrates the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin to help treat skin laxity)
Hyaluronic
Acid
The Profhilo treatment I had done on my hands has made them look 10 years younger.
They look more hydrated, the loose skin has tightened and my unsightly veins are much less visible.
FAQs
How long do hand fillers take to carry out?
The procedure itself takes less around 30 minutes, but this is after a thorough consultation.
​
How long do hand fillers last?
12-24 months depending on your body's ability to break down the filler.
Fillers placed in the nose tend to last longer than fillers placed in other areas, because of the lack of movement.
We have found that people who smoke and use sun beds tend to metabolise filler quicker than others.
​
Do hand fillers hurt?
We do everything we can to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
We also apply numbing cream before any injections, and the fillers also contain a numbing medication.
​
Are hands fillers safe?
We only use the highest quality hyaluronic acid fillers from the most reputable brands for all our procedures.
Hyaluronic acid is made and broken down in the body naturally, and has been used in aesthetics for around 35 years.
Any needle entering the skin, means there is a risk of bruising and infection,
but as doctors we know the importance of carrying out procedures in a sterile environment to reduce this risk.
​
Can I have hand fillers whilst pregnant?
Unfortunately, you can't have any filler or Botox whilst pregnant or breast feeding. There aren't any studies showing it's harmful, but who would willingly sign up to one of them anyway? Enjoy your time off with your new family addition and we'll be happy to see you back in clinic later on.
​
Who can perform hand filler injections?
Although it is not against the law in England for anyone to buy and inject filler, we strongly believe that aesthetic procedures should only be carried out by a registered medical professional.
This is because 1 day courses simply are not enough to learn the anatomy, safe and sterile techniques, and medical knowledge required to recognise complications early and treat them.
All out treatments are carried out by fully qualified, registered and insured Doctors.
