At Nunnally Dermatology in Baton Rouge, LA, we have a way for you to do just that with Radiesse. This dermal filler can provide you with the hand rejuvenation you need to restore youth to the hands and so that they look younger and you feel more confident. How Long Do Hand Rejuvenation Fillers Last? When you choose a dermal filler like Radiesse to rejuvenate the appearance of your hands, you can expect your results to last anywhere from 18 to 24 months. That’s one and a half to two years of restored youth in your hands. As soon as you notice a change in the appearance of the skin on your hands after initial treatment, all you need to do is schedule a follow-up appointment to receive additional injections in the area. What Causes Aging Skin on the Hands? The skin on your hands is very thin. With the aging process comes a change in the fat distribution beneath the skin, and those fat distribution changes affect the hands as well as the face and other body areas. When your hands have less fat, they begin to look older as tendons, bones, and veins become more visible. The Aging Process and Lifestyle The beginning signs of aging on the hands can affect individuals in their 20s and 30s, and by the time they reach their 50s, their hands can make them feel older than they are and extremely self-conscious. Your hands endure a lot of wear and tear over the years, especially if you work in a profession that requires you to use your hands or if you are a mother of children and have spent years washing dishes giving baths, and constantly drying out the skin, all of which can lead to the signs of aging. Sun Exposure The aging process isn’t the only factor that causes your hands to look aged. Sun exposure throughout your lifetime does cause an acceleration of the aging process, especially to the skin on the hands. Not many people are in the habit of applying sunscreen to their hands each day, and those who do will reap the benefits as they age, but those who haven’t need a different solution. Not only does volume loss begin to affect the hands, but age spots and hyperpigmentation can begin to define the skin on the hands. Ways To Maintain and Extend Your Results While you will get long-lasting results thanks to this effective dermal filler, there is a way to improve your results and make your skin look as beautiful and youthful as possible. Treat Your Hands Like Your Face If you gave your hands even half of the care and attention that you give the skin on your face, you would see a significant improvement in their appearance. Using high-quality, professional-grade products on your hands can go a long way in helping maintain youth and improving skin health in this area. A vitamin C serum, an anti-aging moisturizer, and the daily application of high-quality sunscreen will help transform your skin and make it remain youthful. Practice Sun Safety The sun is the number one cause of premature aging, and while many people make it a habit to ensure that their face is protected from the sun, they often neglect their hands. If you make it a habit of applying sunscreen to your hands day in and day out, you will see an improvement in the appearance of your hands. In addition, when you are driving, your hands are constantly exposed to the sun’s rays. This is even more of a reason to use diligence in applying sunscreen each day to your hands, whether it’s sunny out or overcast. The sun’s rays will still shine through a cloudy sky, so don’t be deceived into thinking that a cloudy day provides you with protection from the sun because it will not. Schedule Regular Manicures Regular manicures can also help keep the skin on your hands looking youthful and healthy. Not only will your nails look groomed and clean, but you will get a massage, exfoliation, and moisturizing treatment for your hands that will help you not only feel pampered but allow you to invest in the health and quality of your skin.
