Our hands are one of the markers (as well as the neck with décolleté zone, earlobes) by which it is very easy to see that the 18th anniversary has long passed. When meeting a person for the first time, it is because of the hands that our eyes fall, consciously or unconsciously. Therefore, it must be remembered that the withering of the skin of the hands begins earlier than the aging of the skin of the face. This is due to the fact that the skin of the hands is very thin: just like the skin around the eyes and neck, it is almost devoid of a subcutaneous layer that creates a sufficient fatty film that protects the skin from numerous harmful external factors. In addition, such a film prevents moisture loss, which becomes a natural protection against the appearance of wrinkles. There is practically no such protective film on the hands.
In addition, after 25 years, the processes of skin renewal in the human body slow down: the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for strength and elasticity, decreases. At the same time, blood circulation throughout the body slows down, which leads to difficulties in skin "breathing" and, accordingly, skin nutrition. Gradually, the skin becomes rougher and sagging. In addition, over time, veins and vessels appear through the surface layer, tendons becomecontoured.
Age spots are added, which are the result of a thinning of the basement membrane that separates the epidermis (top layer of skin) from the dermis (the layer of skin underneath). As a result, the pigment embedded in the deep layers of the skin begins to appear on the surface, forming uneven age spots.
Cosmetic plastic surgery of the hands can eliminate the full spectrum of age-related problems, restore skin elasticity, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
What problems does plastic hand surgery treat?
With the help of injections and hardware procedures, you can solve such problems as:
- loss of adipose tissue;
- hyperpigmentation;
- thinning and dry skin, reduced elasticity;
- wrinkles and folds;
- photoaging, roughness;
- gray or yellowish tint;
- Contouring of superficial veins.
The best techniques for rejuvenating the skin of the hands
The advent of the latest injection and hardware techniques, as well as the development of fillers to solve the problems of age-related dermis, have made hand skin enhancement an easy and affordable procedure.
biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is the easiest and fastest way to correct age-related disorders. The procedure delivers hyaluronic acid into the deep layers of the skin, providing long-term hydration and protection. Deep hydration of the dermis improves the tone, slows down the aging process, improves the color and structure of the tissues, and also eliminates small wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition, the procedure has a complex healing effect: it stimulates the production of its own hyaluronate, improves the regeneration of the intercellular space and protects the skin from the effects of antioxidants.
Often biorevitalization is prescribed as a preparation for chemical peeling, fractional photothermolysis, IPL and during the recovery period after it.
Who is shown the procedure
Hyaluronic acid injections are not age restricted. They are indicated at the first signs of dryness and lethargy of the skin.
mesotherapy
A procedure similar to biorevitalization, however, not only hyaluronic acid is used as an injection, but a whole complex of nutrients.
Properly selected preparations for mesotherapy or a cocktail from them will help to get rid of many cosmetic problems: dry skin of the hands, wrinkles, fine lines, loss of tone and elasticity. In addition, the procedure provides good tissue tightening, and also has a bright healing and antioxidant effect. Injections eliminate hyperpigmentation and small scars, tighten the skin, return a healthy color and even tone. Often mesotherapy is prescribed for the treatment of dermatological diseases on the hands - focal neurodermatitis, eczema, keratosis, nail dystrophy.
For those who are afraid of injections, there is non-injection mesotherapy. It is no less effective than the classic version, but requires more procedures. The result is stored for six months. You can extend it by taking a second course or doing a series of maintenance sessions once a month.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Mesotherapy also has no age restriction. It is ideally suited for patients with dry and flabby skin of the hands, covered with folds and wrinkles.
Contour plastic of the hands
The procedure helps to restore lost volume, smooth out protruding veins and give the brushes a pleasant curve. The technique is based on the subcutaneous injection of fillers with hyaluronic acid.
Since hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the human body, there are practically no allergic reactions to the procedure. To introduce fillers under the skin of the hands, atraumatic cannulas are used - surgical needles in the form of a soft tube, which allow the rejuvenation process to be carried out painlessly and prevent the appearance of hematomas.
Modern preparations for contour plastics - fillers made in Germany and the Netherlands - have already proved their indispensability in restoring volume and exceptional velvetiness of the skin of the hands.
The innovative development of Dutch scientists - Dermal Filler - guarantees a lasting rejuvenating effect of 1 to 4 years. The effectiveness of the drug provides a unique formula. The main component of the filler is, for example, polycaprolactone, a soft medical suture material. Polycaprolactone stimulates skin cells - fibroblasts - to produce type 1 collagen. Namely, this collagen is intensively formed in human skin at the age of 18-20 years and makes it elastic, soft and velvety, hides blood vessels.
Polycaprolactone is gradually absorbed into tissues and naturally eliminated from the body without disturbing the functioning of organs and systems. Therefore, the filler is considered very safe.
The German filler, consisting of a mineral related to the human body - calcium hydroxyapatite - has the wonderful property of triggering powerful processes for the production of your own collagen: the skin becomes dense and firm - without a single wrinkle.
It is this property that makes the rejuvenation of the skin of the hands with the help of this filler very effective and long-lasting: the skin on the hands after the injection looks perfect for more than 2 years. An important advantage of the drug is its 100% biocompatibility with the human body. Thanks to this function, a previous allergy test is not required.
90% of patients who underwent hand rejuvenation with a German filler were satisfied with the results of the procedure immediately after, and 93% within 12 weeks.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Injection plastic is suitable for people who have little subcutaneous fat on their hands due to natural or age-related changes.
Laser therapy for hands
Fractional laser thermolysis is based on exposing the skin to high temperatures. But you should not be afraid of the procedure. The laser beam penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis and the top layer - the epidermis - is not damaged. There is no pain either.
The procedure smoothes wrinkles, evens skin tone, tightens and renews tissues. With the help of a scattered laser beam, spider veins, hemangiomas, pronounced foci of hyperpigmentation can be eliminated.
Modern fractional devices allow thermolysis to be carried out with the highest accuracy. At the same time, the effect on the skin of the hands is very gentle, and the result is preserved for many years.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Laser thermolysis is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, with defects such as:
- laxity of the skin of the hands, wrinkles, furrows;
- photoaging;
- Scars and scars after injuries, burns, operations;
- Age spots, including age spots.
plasma lifting
With plasmolifting, your own purified and platelet-rich plasma is injected into the skin of your hands. This healing and rejuvenating procedure contains enormous potential - it is able to activate all the body's forces, which begin to fight the natural causes of aging.
Platelet-rich plasma provides a powerful rejuvenating stimulus for the body to synthesize its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Plasmolifting is useful for everyone who wants to get rid of the first signs of aging, tighten and improve the dermis, restore strength and elasticity.
Enriched plasma is widely used to reduce the severity of non-colloidal scars and scars and eliminate light pigmentation and freckles.
Peel
When peeling, the upper keratinized layer of the epidermis is removed from the hands. The procedure starts the process of cell renewal, rejuvenates and tightens tissues, restores softness and suppleness.
The rejuvenating effect of the peeling is quite long-lasting: the skin surface is smoothed, wrinkles and spots disappear, the brushes acquire a healthy color and smoothness.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
A light scrub containing lactic, glycolic or salicylic acid is used to smooth out imperfections and even out skin tone. The procedure is suitable for young people with the initial withering of the dermis of the hands.
For more mature patients with sluggish and sagging skin and signs of photoaging, medium peels are recommended - treatment with trichloroacetic acid smoothes scars and roughness, eliminates pigmentation and renews the upper layer of the epidermis.
paraffin packs
The main effect of paraffin therapy is to moisturize the skin. Through the use of paraffin, all tissues are evenly and deeply heated, metabolic processes in the cells are accelerated, lipid breakdown is stimulated and the skin is smoothed. Fluid stagnation occurs in problem areas, which prevents the removal of toxins. Hot paraffin brings the liquid together with the decomposition products dissolved in it to the surface. Because the released sweat does not evaporate due to the paraffin shell, the water is reabsorbed and the toxins remain on the surface. As a result, the skin does not dry out like in the sauna, but on the contrary is moisturized, smoothed and tightened. Such intensive hydration restores the water balance of the skin and prevents its aging. In addition, when exposed to heat, blood circulation in the skin improves, which helps to restore the skin's structure.
Paraffin wraps for hands can eliminate dryness, peeling and redness. During the procedure, active healing of microcracks occurs, the skin becomes smooth and tender. Pens after paraffin therapy look much younger. And for all the other benefits, this procedure is very pleasant - after it the mood rises, endorphins are produced - the hormones of happiness.
There are options for paraffin therapy with various additives, such as brown algae. Sometimes a few drops of aromatic essential oils are added to heated paraffin, which not only give an unusual aroma, but also strengthen and smooth the skin.
A special relaxing and toning massage for the hands helps to consolidate the effect of the paraffin therapy.
Who is shown the procedure
Paraffin therapy has no age limit. This procedure allows you to clean the top layer of skin from the horny epidermis, dust particles and external impurities that clog pores. This activates the lymphatic drainage, which improves the nutrition of the skin. Ultimately, the skin becomes elastic, elastic, velvety and acquires a vivid color.
