Our hands are one of the markers (as well as the neck with the décolleté zone, ear flaps), with which it is very easy to understand that the 18th anniversary is long gone. It is on the hands at the first encounter with a person that our eyes consciously or unconsciously fall. Therefore, it should be remembered that the withering of the skin of the hands begins earlier than the aging of the skin of the face. This happens because the skin on the hands is very thin: like the skin around the eyes and on the neck, it is almost devoid of a layer of subcutaneous tissue, which produces a sufficient layer of fat film that protects the skin from numerous destructive substances. external factors. In addition, such a film prevents moisture loss, which becomes a natural protection against the occurrence of wrinkles. There is virtually no such protective film on the hands.
In addition, after 25 years, the skin renewal processes begin to slow down in the human body: the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity, decreases. At the same time, blood circulation throughout the body is slowed down, causing difficulty in breathing in the skin and, consequently, skin nutrition. Gradually, the skin becomes more rough and flabby. In addition, veins and vessels appear over time through the surface layer, tendons are contoured.
Age spots are added, which are the result of thinning of the basement membrane that separates the epidermis (the top layer of the skin) from the dermis (the underlying layer of the skin). As a result, the pigment embedded in the deep layers of the skin begins to appear on the surface and forms uneven age spots.
Cosmetic plastic surgery of the hands can get rid of the whole range of age-related problems, restore the elasticity of the skin, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
What problems does hand plastic surgery treat?
Using injections and hardware procedures can solve problems such as:
- loss of adipose tissue;
- hyperpigmentation;
- thinning and dry skin, decreased elasticity;
- wrinkles and creases;
- photo aging, roughness;
- greyish or yellowish hue;
- 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 creation of fillers designed to solve the problems of age-related dermis, have made hand skin improvement a simple and affordable procedure.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is the simplest and fastest way to correct age-related disorders. The procedure delivers hyaluronic acid to the deep layers of the skin, thereby 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 tissues and also eliminates small wrinkles and creases.
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 peels, fractional photothermolysis, IPL and in the recovery period after them.
Who will view the procedure
Hyaluronic acid injections have no age restrictions. They are indicated by the first signs of dryness and lethargy in the skin.
Mesotherapy
A procedure similar to biorevitalization, but not only hyaluronic acid is used as injections, but a whole complex of nutrients.
Properly selected preparations for mesotherapy or a cocktail of them help eliminate a lot of cosmetic problems: dry skin on the hands, wrinkles, wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity. In addition, the procedure provides a good tissue tightening, and also has a light healing and antioxidant effect. Injections will get rid of hyperpigmentation and small scars, tighten the skin, return a healthy color and even tone. Often, mesotherapy is prescribed for the treatment of dermatological diseases of 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 several procedures. The result is stored for six months. You can extend it by taking another course or by performing a series of maintenance sessions once a month.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Mesotherapy also has no age restrictions. Ideally, it is suitable for patients with dry and sagging skin on the hands, covered in wrinkles and folds.
Contour plastic of the hands
The procedure helps to restore the lost volume, smooth out protruding veins and give the brushes a pleasant roundness. The technique is based on subcutaneous injection of fillers with hyaluronic acid.
Since hyaluronate is a natural component of the human body, there are virtually no allergic reactions to the procedure. For the introduction of fillers under the skin of the hands are used atraumatic needles - surgical needles in the form of a soft tube, which allows to perform the rejuvenation procedure without pain and to prevent the occurrence of hematomas.
Modern contour plastic preparations - fillers produced in Germany and the Netherlands - have already proven their indispensability to restore volume and extraordinary velvety skin on the hands.
So the innovative development of Dutch researchers - dermal filler - guarantees a lasting effect of rejuvenation from 1 to 4 years. The effectiveness of the drug provides a unique formula. For example, the main component of the filler is polycaprolactone, a soft medical suture material. Polycaprolactone stimulates skin cells - fibroblasts - to produce type 1 collagen. Such collagen is formed intensively in human skin at the age of 18-20 years and makes it elastic, tender and velvety, hides blood vessels.
Polycaprolactone is gradually absorbed into the tissues and excreted from the body in a natural way without disturbing the function of organs and systems. Therefore, the filler is considered very safe.
The German filler, which consists of a mineral related to the human body - calcium hydroxyapatite, has a wonderful property of starting powerful processes for the production of its own collagen: the skin becomes dense and toned - without a single wrinkle.
It is this property that makes the rejuvenation of the skin of the hands using this filler very effective and lasting: the skin on the hands after injections will look perfect for more than 2 years. An important advantage of the drug is its 100% biocompatibility with the human body. Thanks to this feature, a preliminary allergy test is not required.
90% of patients who received hand rejuvenation with a German filler were satisfied with the results of the procedure immediately after it, and 93% within 12 weeks after it.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Laser therapy for hands
Laser fractional thermolysis is based on exposing the skin to high temperatures. But do 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 out skin tone, tightens and renews tissue. Using a scattered laser beam, spiders, hemangiomas, pronounced foci of hyperpigmentation can be eliminated.
Modern fractionated units make it possible to perform thermolysis with the highest accuracy. At the same time, the effect on the skin of the hands is very gentle, and the result lasts for many years.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Laser thermolysis is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, with defects such as:
- weakness in the skin of the hands, wrinkles, furrows;
- photo aging;
- scars and scars after injuries, burns, surgeries;
- age spots, including age spots.
Plasma lifting
Plasmolifting involves the insertion into the skin of the hands of one's own, purified and platelet-rich plasma. This healing and rejuvenating procedure has enormous potential - it is able to activate all the forces of the body, which will begin to fight the natural causes of aging.
Platelet-rich plasma provides a powerful rejuvenating stimulus to the body, provides the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Plasmolifting will be useful for anyone who wants to get rid of the first signs of aging, tighten and improve the dermis, restore firmness and elasticity.
Enriched plasma is often used to reduce the severity of non-colloidal scars and scars, to eliminate light pigmentation and freckles.
Peels
Peeling involves the removal of the top keratinized layer of the epidermis from the hands. The procedure starts the process of cell renewal, rejuvenates and tightens tissues, restores softness and smoothness.
The rejuvenating effect of peeling is quite lasting: the skin surface is smoothed, wrinkles and spots disappear, the brushes get a healthy color and smoothness.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Light exfoliation with lactic, glycolic or salicylic acids is used to remove bumps and even out skin tone. The procedure is suitable for young people with the initial process of withering of the dermis of the hands.
For more mature patients with sluggish and sagging skin and signs of photoaging, medium peeling is recommended - treatment with trichloroacetic acid will smooth scars and roughness, eliminate pigmentation and renew the top layer of the epidermis.
Paraffin wraps
The main effect of paraffin treatment is to moisturize the skin. So with paraffin application, there is a deep uniform heating of all tissues, metabolic processes in cells are accelerated, lipid destruction is stimulated and the skin is smoothed. In problem areas, fluid stagnation occurs, which prevents the removal of toxins. Hot paraffin causes the liquid, along with the decomposition products dissolved therein, to come to the surface. Because the released sweat does not evaporate due to the paraffin shell, the water is absorbed back and the toxins remain on the surface. As a result, the skin does not dry out, as in a sauna, but on the contrary moisturizes, smoothes and tightens. Such intense hydration restores the skin's water balance and prevents its aging. In addition, the blood supply to the skin is improved when exposed to heat, which helps to restore the skin's structure.
Paraffin wraps for hands can remove dryness, peeling, redness. During the procedure, active healing of microcracks occurs, the skin becomes smooth and sore. Pens after paraffin treatment will look much younger. And for all the other benefits, this procedure is very pleasant - after it rises the mood, endorphins are produced - the happiness hormones.
There are options for paraffin treatment with various additives, such as brown algae. Sometimes a few drops of aromatic essential oils are added to heated paraffin, which not only adds an unusual aroma, but also strengthens and smoothes the skin.
To consolidate the effect of paraffin therapy, a special relaxing and tonic massage for the hands will help.
Who will view the procedure
Paraffin treatment has no age restrictions. With this procedure, you can cleanse the top layer of the skin from the keratinized epidermis, dust particles, any external contaminants that clog the pores. As a result, lymph outflow is activated, which improves skin nutrition. Eventually, the skin becomes elastic, resilient, velvety, acquires a vibrant color.
