We take great care and attention when comes to delaying the signs of ageing on our face, but hands, as poor old Madonna knows, can be a dead giveaway of our true age.
The fact is, as a result of relentless wear and tear, our hands often start to age prematurely compared to any other part of the body. They lose firmness and plumpness, beginning to look bony and fragile. Veins, tendons and joints protrude through thin crepey skin which is often flecked with brown spots from sun exposure. It’s all a natural part of ageing. But I hear you NO! And I quite agree!
Thankfully the latest techniques allow us to treat and reverse these problems quickly and extremely effectively.
The Radiesse ‘Hand Lift’
Radiesse is an amazing dermal filler consisting of smooth particles of calcium which forms a scaffold within the skin that is slowly replaced by our own collagen. Its main component, Calcium Hydroxylapatite, has been used in medicine for many years for procedures such as vocal cord insufficiency, tissue marking and oral defects.
Radiesse instantly replenishes volume to the back of the hands to provide a supple and youthful appearance. Painlessly placed beneath the skin using local anaesthetic, Radiesse raises the skin level so that tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence. The ‘Hand Lift’ is a very quick procedure taking about 15 minutes and provides instant, durable results that can last up to 2 years for some people.

Skin Rehydration Treatments
The first treatment I often implement if skin quality and dehydration of the hands is an issue is Restylane Vital or Juvederm Hydrate. These rehydration treatments involve tiny painless injections under the skin after a topical anaesthetic has been applied. They revitalize the skin and work by improving skin elasticity, tone and enhancing skin’s general appearance. As we age, the quality of the skin changes – as collagen and elastic fibres degrade and the distribution and function of the body’s own hyaluronic acid is less efficient. This results in rougher and drier skin with less elasticity.
This rehydration treatment can create a glowing complexion by replenishing the lost hyaluronic acid in the skin. This improves hydro balance to increase skin elasticity and improve skin structure.
These products can also be used to very effectively improve skin quality of the face, Décolletage and neck.

After three treatments with Restylane Vital, at the Warwickshire Aesthetic Clinic, my hands look and feel like they did when I was in my thirties.
