As we age, the skin on our hands tends to lose its elasticity and slackens. Let’s not forget that beautiful hands remain a key asset in the art of 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 thus an appropriate solution to enhance and care for the hands.
Why is it necessary to take care of the hands ?
Taking care of your hands is essential! Primarily, it’s about self-care, but also because they are a visible part of the body that attracts attention in various situations: for instance, during professional or romantic meetings! If moisturising creams no longer manage to conceal the signs of time, it is time to take it a step further.
The hands have very thin skin, which tends to show signs of ageing more quickly than other areas. Several factors contribute to the deepening of age-related marks. With age and sun exposure, among other things, the skin on the hands tends to sag and wrinkle. It will develop wrinkles and age spots or brown marks. To rejuvenate the hands, there are various hand-lifting techniques available, such as laser treatments or hyaluronic acid injections.
What aesthetic treatment is best for caring for the hands ?
The injection of hyaluronic acid will smooth the skin on the hands without leaving marks or scars. This treatment will fill in the wrinkles of the hands and also restore volume to areas that lack it, rehydrate dry hands, and diminish the appearance of prominent veins.
The product is injected into the back of the hands using a cannula to cover the entire surface. After the injection, the results are immediate and last for approximately two years. A single injection is sufficient for optimal results.
How does a hyaluronic acid injection session proceed ?
Injections of hyaluronic acid are carried out in a clinic and sometimes without anaesthesia, as the anaesthetic is already included in the product. Otherwise, the aesthetic doctor performs a standard local anaesthesia or applies a lidocaine cream for this purpose. A hyaluronic acid injection is not a trivial procedure and requires the presence of an aesthetic doctor to ensure it is done under optimal conditions. The aesthetic doctor will conduct an assessment for each patient to determine the specific points before injecting the hyaluronic acid into the dermis, that is to say, a few millimetres beneath the epidermis.
A session lasts between 10 and 20 minutes to treat the desired areas. Typically, this involves the lower part of the face: the nasolabial folds located on either side of the mouth down to the chin, the nasolabial grooves extending from the nostrils to the corners of the lips, as well as expression lines and crow's feet. Hyaluronic acid is also effective for redefining the lip contour and filling in the hollows of the face at the forehead, under-eye areas, cheekbones, cheeks, or hands.
At the end of the procedure, the aesthetic doctor massages the treated areas to ensure an even distribution of the product. The body's assimilation is gradual, and the final result reaches its peak 10 days after the treatment.
If you wish to rejuvenate your hands, investing in a hyaluronic acid injection would be an intriguing option to consider with a professional.
