One of the areas that show our age and that we cannot hide is our face and the other is our hands. In facial rejuvenation, many procedures ranging from botox, fillers and laser applications to surgical interventions are successfully applied. While these procedures eliminate the signs of aging on our face, our hands can give away our age. Therefore, hand rejuvenation procedures are important.
What are the signs of aging in the hand?
Aging of the hands is characterised by ageing of the skin of the hand and thinning of the subcutaneous tissue. The veins on the back of the hand are prominent, the tendon that gives movement to the fingers is visible. There is pitting between the finger bones due to volume loss. The skin is wrinkled and stained due to skin aging.
In hand rejuvenation procedures; It is aimed to treat the loss of volume and spots on the skin that occur with hand aging.
Filling applications are performed for volume loss in the hands. Hyaluronic acid or fat injections can be used for filling.
Laser, microdermabrasion and chemical peeling procedures can be applied in the treatment of stains that are a sign of aging on the back of the hand.
Fat tissues taken from your own body are purified through various processes and then injected as a thin layer under the skin of the hand. This procedure gives volume to the back of the hand and helps to hide the veins and tendons that are prominent and visible under the skin. In addition, the mesenchymal stem cells in the fat tissue secrete a large number of different bioactive molecules and create a regenerative microenvironment, leading to an increase in volume skin quality, revitalisation and refreshment, creating a restorative effect. This is unique to fat injections. Fat injections create a permanent effect.
After the fat tissues taken from your own body are purified through various processes, they are injected as a thin layer under the skin of the hand. This procedure is performed with local anaesthesia, i.e. regional anaesthesia. It is a painless procedure.
You can return home the same day after fat injection for hand rejuvenation. The next day, there may be slight oedema (swelling) in your hands. This may rarely be accompanied by a slight bruise. This swelling disappears rapidly from the third day.
Filler applications in hand rejuvenation are easier than fat injections and can be easily performed in the office environment. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid and hydroxyapatite can be used in hand rejuvenation. Fillers injected under the skin after the numbing process applied by rubbing on the back of the hand give volume to the hand and make the hand look younger. This procedure, which takes about 15-20 minutes, lasts for about 1 year..
The blood taken from the patient is processed into platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is a liquid rich in growth factors and plasma proteins. The growth factors and proteins in this cocktail increase tissue repair and regeneration. PRP is injected under the skin and contributes to the regeneration of the skin on the back of the hand. PRP application can be performed alone or together with fat and filling applications.
In hand rejuvenation, various laser applications can be performed to eliminate spots on the skin of the hand. In particular, Q-switched Nd:YAG, alexandrite, or ruby laser can be used in hand spot treatment. Laser spot treatment in hand rejuvenation can also be performed as a complement to hand filling and fat injection procedures. This combined treatment gives very good results.
