Hand rejuvenation with fillers
“Our hands betray our true age.”
“Our hands betray our true age.”
The hands can quickly give away your age. But how does that actually happen? And what treatments can rejuvenate the hands? The hands (just like your neck and face) are exposed to daylight and sunlight your whole life. In addition, your hands are exposed to countless chemicals over the years. By nature, your hands have little subcutaneous fatty tissue and the skin becomes thinner, saggier and drier over the years. The structures underneath, such as tendons and blood vessels, become more visible quickly, and pigmentation and wrinkles develop. Fortunately, all of these issues are easily treatable.
During the skin aging process the skin becomes thinner. We lose hyaluronic acid and subcutaneous fatty tissue over the years. Using a Skinbooster treatment based on hyaluronic acid, we can improve the hydration and quality of the skin. It is also possible to restore the subcutaneous fatty layer with Radiesse , firming the skin itself. This collagen stimulator is well absorbed into the skin and ensures that visible veins and tendons are concealed. A combination of a hyaluronic acid filler and Radiesse can also be used; this is called a hybrid filler. Which treatment is used depends on the quality of the skin and the wishes and needs. Are you also bothered by pigmentation and age spots on the hands? Then a treatment with one of our skin therapists can offer a solution!

Do aging hands bother you? Just like the skin on our face and neck, your hands also face the natural aging process. The skin becomes drier, thinner and saggier, which can cause wrinkles to form and veins and tendons to become more visible. Your hands are also frequently exposed to daylight and sunlight, causing skin damage. Despite many treatments for the face, neck and décolleté these days, rejuvenating the hands is often forgotten. The saying “our hands betray our real age” is there for a reason.
After we receive you at our clinic, photos are taken and a preliminary consultation follows to go over your wishes. The doctor will make a personal treatment plan with you. The consultation is completely non-committal. After this, you can schedule an appointment to undergo treatment. Depending on the chosen product, our doctors work with a cannula or needle. The anesthetic is different for each chosen product. In fact, many different fillers already contain anesthesia, making an additional anesthetic unnecessary. Should a product be chosen that does not include anesthesia, then the area will be numbed beforehand by the doctor with a numbing cream. You will hardly feel the pricks. In total, the appointment takes about half an hour.
After treatment, some swelling or possibly bruising may occur around the area where the filler was injected. Should some swelling occur, there is no need to panic. After a few days this will go away by itself. Because of the possible swelling it is wise to leave jewelry off.
Immediately after the treatment, the results are already visible. You will immediately see that the veins and tendons are less noticeable and wrinkles have largely disappeared. Over time you will notice that the skin becomes firmer, better hydrated and your hands look many years younger. The filler treatment is temporary and will be broken down naturally by the body over time. The effect of a filler can last up to about a year and a half, and the effect of treatment with Radiesse can last up to about two years.

After we receive you at our clinic, we will take pictures that the treating physician will review and discuss with you. This will include a detailed discussion of your treatment wishes and goals. The consultation is completely non-committal. After this you can schedule an appointment to undergo treatment. During the treatment the hands can be filled with a collagen stimulator. Depending on the treatment wish, the doctor will advise you on the amount of filler needed for the desired result. This treatment is done through tiny punctures with a thin needle, placing the filler just under the skin. You will be back outside within 30 minutes with significantly younger hands. For optimal results, we also recommend looking into possible skin therapies, such as laser treatment to have any pigmentation spots removed.

The result of this treatment is visible almost immediately, but optimal results can be seen after 2 weeks due to any swelling or discoloration.
At the Van Rosmalen Kliniek we work with temporary fillers. This means that over time the filler will be broken down naturally by the body. Depending on the type of filler used during treatment, the result can last up to about 1.5 years. With Radiesse, the result can even last up to 2 years.
The treatment is performed with an ultra-thin needle and numbed beforehand with a numbing cream. Therefore, this treatment is completely painless.
After treatment of the hands with a collagen stimulator, there are a few things to look out for. You can move the hands as normal, but it is important not to rub or massage the hands for 48 hours after treatment, unless the treating physician has specifically recommended that you do so. There may be some swelling and/or bruising after the treatment. With proper cooling, the swelling will subside again. Any blue discoloration may be camouflaged with makeup a few hours after treatment, once the puncture holes are closed. We recommend not exercising intensively for 24 hours after treatment and not seeking bright sunlight or heat in a tanning bed or sauna, for example, for 2 weeks after treatment. Exposure to UV radiation can be extra sensitive for the treated skin and affect the result of the filler treatment. Therefore, the skin should be covered with an SPF daily!
As we age, the pigment in the skin increases and manifests itself in pigment spots. So too on the hands. While a filler fills in the skin, it does not provide a solution for reducing pigment spots. If you not only want to fill the hands with filler, but also reduce the pigmentation for optimal results then a laser treatment with one of our skin therapists is the right solution!
