Do your hands give away your age?

 

Frequently the focus of cosmetic improvement is the face.
Yet, one of the most age-telling body features is our hands.

As we age, our hands lose firmness and plumpness and begin to look bony and fragile....with vein and joint protrusion, thin crepey skin texture and often they've become flecked with brown spots from sun exposure.

 

Combating the aging hand syndrome takes more than hand cream (though that simple step does make a difference). The latest technology can treat the hands as well as the face.

Radiesse  

                                         

Radiesse injections immediately re-plump and replenish volume to the back of the hands to provide a supple and youthful appearance instantly. Placed beneath the skin, Radiesse raises the skin level so that tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence. Radiesse provides instant and durable long lasting results. See the Radiesse website.

 

The Process

 

  • Brown Spot Removal - if you have spots or brown patches, you will first have treatments with the Sciton Broad Band Light therapy to remove these aging collections of pigment.

 

  • Volume Replenishment -  Radiesse is then used as the "filler".

 

  • Volume Replenishment - Typical requirements are a total of 1 Radiesse syringes per hand to attain a full smooth replacement of the cushioning on the back of the hands. In some instances an extra syringe is required (total 3) if your hands have lost substantial amounts of their natural fat layer or have a very prominent bony appearance. Men may require up to 2 syringes if their hands are large.

 

  • Topical serums, such as SRS skin Repair Cellular Rejuvenation Serum, with tissue growth factors, augment the skin's cell hydration and surface smoothness.

Immediately you will have hands that are well on their way to looking years younger.

 

Patient results may vary

 

Radiesse has proven to be a very versatile facial contouring product and has demonstrated durable augmentation in areas such as chin and cheek where a larger volume is required. It maintains a soft, natural feel and takes on the characteristics of the surrounding skin tissue.
 
Results typically last 1 - 2 years. Radiesse does not require allergy testing. Radiesse is a safe, effective and non-surgical treatment, which provides immediate smoothing of wrinkles, scars and the replenishment of volume loss.

Radiesse should provide a long lasting correction; however individual results may vary, affected by age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity.

 

How is Radiesse injected?

A simple out-patient procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia in the physician's office and takes about 15 minutes.

 

 

How long will the results last?
Depending on the areas treated, most of the correction may last for many months, or even years. Dr.Kim’s patients usually see results that last between 1 to 2 years. Touch up treatments may be necessary to maintain desired correction.

Injection pain is minimized or eliminated by use of a topical cream (ELA-Max)  or pain blocks may be performed immediately before the procedure. Following the procedure, patients may immediately return back to daily activities, however, treatment sights may be swollen for 1-2 days. There is also potential for bruising at the injection site, which may be covered with concealer.
