Why Do Hands Need Treatment?

How Do Hands Change As They Age?

Common changes seen with aging include discoloration, increased visibility of tendons, bones and veins as well as thinning of the dermis. As the skin ages, elasticity is lost. Loose skin combined with fat loss in the hands makes the veins, tendons and bones more visible. Add sun damage, seen as dark spots, and the hands change from youthful to old. However, Salt Lake City residents needn’t live with these changes.

What Can Be Done To Reverse Changes Seen In The Hands?

A significant option available to reverse signs of aging in the hands is volume restoration. Replacing the lost volume on the back of the hands dramatically changes their look.

Envision Cosmetic Surgery is excited to spread the word that Radiesse can now be used to restore lost volume in the hands.

The main component of the filler is hydroxyapatite, a substance found in our body’s bone. Radiesse has been used safely for more than 10 years. Recent studies have confirmed it can be safely used in a new area, the hands
