Injections of hyaluronic acid for the hands
Injections of hyaluronic acid can treat the volumes on the back of the hand. The goal is to restore firm hands, and to fill the unsightly hollows of the hands' back, as well as those of interdigital spaces.
NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
A single session of cross-linked hyaluronic acid performed on the back of the hands aims to fill unsightly hollows and hide veins and tendons.
Price
Between $650 and $1200 for both hands
SESSION PROCEDURE
After a good cleaning of the hands, the doctor deposits 3 to 4 boluses of hyaluronic acid (injections), at the interosseous spaces' level, where there are hollows. This is followed by a good massage to place the hyaluronic acid evenly on the back of the hand. This whole process is painless.
Warning: be aware of this important element, injections are impossible on tanned skin, moreover, the sun needs to be avoided for 3 weeks before and after the session.
The effects last around 8 to 12 months. It all depends on the quantity administered as well as your personal characteristics such as age, genetics, lifestyle, etc.
SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after the procedure, superficial redness, bleeding, slight bruising may appear on the injection sites, or also small bumps, tenderness, pain or swelling. These undesirable effects last on average from 2 to 15 days. Any trace of intervention or aesthetic care is then imperceptible to others.

Radiesse hand care
Radiesse is an absorbable filler with a longer duration of action than hyaluronic acid. Overall, it gives 30% more volume compared to hyaluronic acid, and it is perfectly tolerated by the body. In addition, its duration of action oscillates around 18 months, twice as long as hyaluronic acid.
It is a malleable product that fills well the different hollows present on the hands's back due to aging. It hides the tendons, veins and bones visible under the skin.
Finally, Radiesse stimulates the production of collagen by the body, the collagen thus produced interacts with Radiesse, which makes it possible to give the skin a smoother, supple and natural appearance. All of its hyaluronic acid benefits make Radiesse our favorite hand treatment.
NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
Usually 1 session is enough
Price
Starting at 750$ for both hands
SESSION PROCEDURE
Through a few injection points, we inject boluses of Radiesse, taking care to avoid the subcutaneous veins that are very easily visible under the thin skin. The product is then massaged to spread in all the interosseous spaces, which makes it possible to fill the hollows and hide the very unsightly superficial veins.
The effects last about 18 months. It all depends on the quantity administered as well as your personal characteristics such as age, genetics, lifestyle, etc.
SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after the procedure, superficial redness, bleeding, slight bruising may appear on the injection sites, or also small bumps, tenderness, pain or swelling.

Skinbooster injections for the hands
Mesotherapy injections of hyaluronic acid restore and hydrate the skin. The skinbooster is an injection technique that improves the elasticity and tone of the skin and reduces roughness.
NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
3 sessions 21 days apart combined with a maintenance session 6 months later.
Price

SESSION PROCEDURE
The doctor or medical nurse will use a micro-needle to administer the treatment. An analgesic cream will be applied before the treatment if necessary for more comfort.
The frequency of the sessions may vary depending on the type of skin. Close sessions will be practiced after significant sun exposure (during summer holidays, stays in the mountains, etc.), in the event of heavy smoking, during cold winters and after menopause. Thus, the skin remains properly hydrated and ages less quickly.

- Pregnancy and breast feeding.
- Autoimmune diseases.

Peeling for hands
Hand peeling is indicated for those who wish to correct the withered appearance of their hands and so-called “age spots”.
The back of the hands' skin, whose structure is fragile and very thin, is subject to permanent repeated physical, thermal and chemical aggressions: exposure to the sun, heat or extreme cold, debridement linked to soaps, various detergents including hydro-alcoholic solutions.
NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
For optimal results, 4 to 5 sessions are recommended at 15-day intervals.
Price
100$ per session
SESSION PROCEDURE
The treatment generally consists of the application of a liquid (usually an acid) which causes controlled desquamation. This desquamation will remain light, a bit like after a sunburn, and not very bothersome. We thus make a new skin gently, by peeling very lightly repeatedly, over several sessions. Smoother, younger-looking skin without blemishes.
The session takes place in several stages and can last 15 to 30 minutes. A soothing cream and an SPF are applied to the entire treated area to protect the skin following the treatment.
The results come gradually. It is necessary to wait around 3 to 4 weeks for the skin to have time to carry out a cycle of complete renewal of its cells. With the repetition of the sessions, you will notice that the back of the hands will have a firmer texture and be better tightened. The coloring will also be more unified and the spots will have diminished.
SIDE EFFECTS
Its consequences are not embarrassing and your social or professional life can be continued.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Progressive herpes
- Pregnancy and breast feeding.
- Recent treatment with isoretinoin (acne treatment)
- Progressive skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema, basal and squamous cell cancers, melanoma, etc.)
