Radiesse for Hand Rejuvenation

Gloved hand injecting filler into the back of an older patient's hand

The hands are another place where fillers such as Radiesse are discussed, and the question that follows is the same as anywhere else: what does the result need to stay in place?

The concern that brings patients in

PubMed Central publishes a study on the hands that included 40 female patients who complained about the visibility of the veins and tendons, and loss of skin elasticity in their hands.

Those are two separate complaints, visible structures and lost elasticity. Name your own priority before the consultation.

What the wider trial evidence covers

A systematic review of controlled clinical trials on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and aesthetic outcomes looks at trial evidence beyond any single hand study.

A single study with 40 patients is a starting point. A review of controlled trials gives a wider view of the same material.

Where fillers fit among cosmetic procedures

Cleveland Clinic describes dermal fillers within cosmetic plastic surgery. Use it for a plain-language orientation before you compare clinics around Rye.

What the hands will need later

Put these questions to the clinic:

  1. How many hand treatments have you performed, and what follow-up do you schedule?
  2. What upkeep should I plan for, and at what cost?
  3. Which of my two concerns, veins and tendons or elasticity, is this treatment meant to improve?
