Cosmetic hand care – a necessity or a whim?

Lipofilling and nanolipofilling

One of the most effective and innovative methods of hand rejuvenation is lipofilling. Hand rejuvenation using autologous fat instantly improves the appearance of the hands, giving them volume. Purified fat produces its own collagen and forms new vessels, which in the future will supply the skin with useful substances. As a result, your hands will look even younger.

Nanolipofilling is one of the areas of lipofilling, in the process of which a fat emulsion (smaller fat fraction) is used. It is injected pointwise, directly into the wrinkles themselves or into certain areas of the skin to rejuvenate, improve quality, density, and improve skin tone.

Causes of rapid aging of hand skin

With age, the skin loses its properties. It becomes less firm and elastic, wrinkles and dryness appear, and the surface of the hands takes on an aging appearance. A number of reasons lead to aging of the skin on the hands:

1. Environmental impact. An abundance of sun, hot air, or, on the contrary, frosty, windy weather harms the skin. The epidermis on the hands becomes dry, chapped, and microcracks appear. Therefore, it is very important to properly care for your hands at any time of the year, even when it seems that the skin is smooth and beautiful.
2. Household chemicals. For most women, not a single day goes by without washing dishes. Only a small number of them use gloves, 90% do it without them. Exposure to hard water in combination with household chemicals reduces the protective function of the skin of the hands, making it vulnerable and speeding up aging.
3. Structure. The skin on the back of the hands is very thin and has no fat layer. Therefore, it is in this part that changes associated with aging are most visible. For this reason, it is the skin on the hands that requires maximum care.

Another reason leading to early aging is improper or inappropriate care. Hands, like the face, require daily systematic attention. But many do not take into account the structure of the skin and consider hand care unimportant.

There are also more serious reasons - hormonal and metabolic disorders. The skin on the hands looks bad due to gastrointestinal diseases and intoxication. In these cases, it is necessary to eliminate the cause and begin cosmetic treatment of the epidermis.

Contour plastic

Contour plastic surgery will help restore lost volume during skeletonization of the hands. The filler will fill and even out wrinkles, folds, and dips.

When injecting fillers with hyaluronic acid into problem areas of the hands, it allows you to create the effect of smooth, soft and moisturized skin, and hide tendons and veins.

Radiesse and Ellanse fillers are also used to add volume. Radiesse, consisting of calcium hydroxyapatite, similar in composition to the human mineral, launches a powerful process for the production of its own collagen, making the skin dense and taut.

The main component of Ellans is polycaprolactone, a medical suture material that induces the ability of fibroblasts to produce collagen. And it is precisely the one that is actively formed in young people aged 18-20 years, making the skin soft, elastic, and velvety.
