As we age, the skin on our hands tends to lose elasticity and become looser. Let us not forget that beautiful hands remain a key asset in seduction. Aesthetic medicine offers solutions to help restore a younger and firmer appearance to the skin of the hands. The injection of hyaluronic acid is an appropriate solution to enhance and care for the hands.
Why is it necessary to take care of the hands?
Taking care of the hands is essential! Firstly, to look after oneself, but also because it is a visible part of the body that attracts attention in various situations: professional meetings or romantic encounters, for instance! If moisturising creams can no longer hide the signs of time, it is time to move on to the next level.
The skin on the hands is very thin, which means it marks more quickly than other areas. Several factors come into play and contribute to the embedding of marks over time. Thus, with age and solar exposure, among other things, the skin on the hands tends to sag and wrinkle. It will be marked by wrinkles and age or brown spots. To rejuvenate the hands, there are several lifting techniques available, such as laser treatment or the injection of hyaluronic acid.
What aesthetic treatment is best for hand care?
The injection of hyaluronic acid allows for smoothening the skin on the hands without leaving traces or scars. This treatment will help to fill in the wrinkles of the hands, restore volume to areas that lack it, rehydrate dried-out hands, and mask prominent veins.
The product is injected into the backs of the hands using a cannula to cover the entire surface. After the injection, results are immediate and last for approximately two years. A single injection is sufficient for an optimal result.
How does a hyaluronic acid injection session proceed?
Hyaluronic acid injections are carried out in a clinic, sometimes without anaesthesia, as the anaesthetic is already included in the product. Otherwise, the aesthetic doctor applies a standard local anaesthetic or a lidocaine cream for this purpose. A hyaluronic acid injection is not a trivial procedure and requires the presence of an aesthetic doctor to be performed under the best conditions. The aesthetic doctor conducts a diagnosis for each patient to determine the precise points, then injects the hyaluronic acid into the dermis, that is, a few millimetres deep beneath the epidermis.
A session lasts between 10 and 20 minutes to treat the desired areas. This often involves the lower part of the face: the laugh lines located on either side of the mouth down to the chin, the nasolabial folds extending from the wings of the nose to the corners of the lips, as well as expression lines and crow's feet. The hyaluronic acid is also effective for redefining the lip contour and filling hollows in the face around the forehead, under-eye bags, cheekbones, cheeks, or hands.
At the end of the procedure, the aesthetic doctor massages the treated areas to even out the distribution of the product. The body’s absorption is gradual, and the final result is optimal 10 days after the procedure.
If you wish to rejuvenate your hands, the injection of hyaluronic acid will be an interesting alternative to schedule with a professional.
