Today, I’d like to show you our clinic’s specialized dorsal hand wrinkle lifting treatment using Radiesse.
For dorsal hand wrinkle lifting, Radiesse is currently the only approved product and laser. It’s also very appealing because it has been used for over 20 years.
When opened, Radiesse comes in a 1.5 cc syringe.
Today’s case:
Case 113. Female in her 60s – dorsal hand treatment.
Why do the veins on the back of the hands become more prominent and the skin more wrinkled as we age… almost as if only the “shell” remains?
The photo on the left (C) shows the back of a hand affected by aging, while the photo on the right (D) shows a young, firm hand. Can you see the difference?
In youthful hands, the fat layer and collagen layer are thick and resilient, which keeps the underlying veins less visible. But as we age, the skin over the veins and hand bones thins, becoming wrinkled, saggy, and more translucent, making veins more prominent.
So, how can we restore the hands to their youthful appearance?
It’s simple: you just need to fill the space in the back-of-hand skin that has become thin and hollowed.
However, injecting fillers or using a cannula on the backs of the hands isn’t that simple. The skin there is thin, and various structures like blood vessels and ligaments lie just beneath the surface, so the procedure must be done very carefully.
Juvederm Voluma and other fillers aren’t just for the face, eyes, neck, or around the lips—they can also be used on areas like the backs of the hands!
Having surpassed 1,000 vials of Juvederm Voluma, we even opened a brand-new acrylic box!
Using a cannula, we comfortably performed Radiesse lifting for the wrinkles on the back of the hands.
Since the skin on the back of the hands is thin, the cannula must be carefully advanced before performing the procedure.
Although I tend to be conservative with Juvederm Voluma and other fillers, I always emphasize that for the hands, Radiesse is the absolute choice for wrinkle management.
The procedure was completed smoothly, with no noticeable swelling or bruising immediately afterward.
The patient was delighted, saying their hands looked younger, which made us even happier.
The procedure takes about 10 minutes, and the immediate swelling is minimal. However, for 2–3 days up to a week, the back of the hands may feel slightly tender or heavy. If you frequently use your hands for activities like playing the piano, other instruments, or cooking, it’s best to allow at least a week of recovery before resuming such tasks.
Thank you.
