Despite the fact that patients pay special attention to facial rejuvenation, they often neglect other parts of their body, especially their hands. However, hand rejuvenation is becoming more and more popular.
Hand rejuvenation is of great importance to patients because, like our face and neck, they are an area of the body that is almost always exposed to external conditions, regardless of the season.
This, in turn, means that the hands can age very clearly, especially if the patient has very dry skin on their hands.

Hand skin aging: why hand rejuvenation is becoming more relevant In fact, according to a study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a person's age can be estimated by looking at their hands alone. Most often, patients show interest in hand rejuvenation when there is a discrepancy between “face age” and “facial age”. and hands. It is important to understand that the epidermis and dermis of the arms
thinner
compared to most areas of the face.
There is very little subcutaneous fat on the back of the hands, so even a slight
reduction in the amount of collagen or elastin fibers
will result in a noticeable change in the appearance of the hands.
Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect hand aging, and generally the rate and extent of change depends on the genetics of the individual patient.
Everything is in your hands or effective methods of hand skin rejuvenation
Some of the most common external factors
that affect hand health include:
smoking; alcohol abuse;
photodamagei.
- Anatomical subtleties of hand rejuvenation
- Bidic et al. performed histological and ultrasound analysis of the dorsum of the hand and found three separate layers
- : Superficial dorsal layer (lamina);
Intermediate dorsal layer;
Deep dorsal layer.
- The superficial dorsal layer
- lies between the dermis and the dorsal superficial fascia. It is this zone that is our target plane for filler injections.
- The sensory nerves and dorsal veins are located in the dorsal intermediate layer
- and the extensor tendons – in deep dorsal plate
.

Hand aging is characterized by a loss of dermal and subcutaneous volume leading to the formation of wrinkles. It is also associated with increased visibility of tendons and veins, as well as age spots, rough textures, loss of skin elasticity, thinning and dryness. In deeper planes, subcutaneous fat atrophies, resulting in tendons and metacarpal bones becoming visible. Thus, targeted injection of dermal filler
into the surface plate allows
to mask veins and tendons, making them less visible.
It is important to note that there are no vital structures in the surface layer, making it safer to inject. Therefore, it is important to place the product in the correct plane to ensure optimal correction of volume loss and a natural clinical result
without the risk of complications
and. How can fillers help if the patient has very dry skin of the hands
While there are a number of options available for moisturizing very dry hand skin, the use of
dermal fillers has been found to be the most effective for this purpose, while also providing restoration of volume loss and reduction in visibility of both tendons and ven. For moisturizing and rejuvenating very dry hands, it is best to use either hyaluronic acid
based dermal fillers that provide skin hydration, or fillers containing
polycaprolactone
as they add volume and smooth the skin by stimulating the production of collagen.
It is best to use a cannula to administer the product to minimize the risk of vascular injury and reduce the number of punctures to treat a larger area of the wrist.
The cannula is inserted subcutaneously into the
superficial fat compartments, with the entry point slightly further away from the crease of the wrist. The filler is placed directly above the fascial plane, parallel between the ligaments. The optimal site for insertion of the filler is lower surface of the dermis
.To prevent lumps and bumps, a linear injection of the filler at 0.1 ml per pass is recommended.
The total amount of product used will depend on the degree of volume loss
, however as a general rule you can expect to use between 0.5ml and 1ml per arm.
