It is a strange effect. A woman, a man, whose well-cared-for face shows the attention they pay to it, how much they look after themselves, whose age is hard to tell… until they bring their hands up to their face. Then that well-worn saying comes true, according to which “hands reveal more than lips“.
Yes, our hands are telltales. They say a lot about us. Too much, even.
Hand skin is thinner than facial skin, and it is constantly exposed to the sun and its harmful effects. As time goes by it wrinkles and becomes covered in spots. And it does not help to disguise another process that is especially marked in certain people: over time, the fatty tissue under the skin shrinks, the veins and tendons become more visible, and the skin loses volume.
Wearing gloves, as is done so often in some Asian countries, is a way to delay this ageing process… if not to hide its unstoppable effects. But in our societies, wearing gloves all the time is an eccentricity.
On the other hand, we Latins like to gesture, to underline every word, every opinion, with a movement of our hands, which turns them into indispensable communication tools, always visible, highly exposed.
What can we do to care for and regenerate our hands?
To regenerate the skin and restore its smoothness, colour and volume, we can carry out combined treatments with fillers and peels.
The fillers used are usually themselves a combination of hydroxyapatite-based materials such as Radiesse®, together with others containing vitamins and hyaluronic acid in different concentrations. The results are immediate and, since Radiesse® stimulates collagen production, in addition to being immediate the benefits will be longer-lasting.
Otherwise, it is a minimally invasive, quick and comfortable procedure, and it barely affects the patient’s life, because it requires minimal recovery time.
