Our hands are one of the markers (as well as the neck with the décolleté area, the earlobes), from which it is very easy to understand that the 18th anniversary is long past. It is on the hands at the first meeting with a person that our eyes fall consciously or unconsciously. Therefore, it should be remembered that the withering of the skin of the hands begins before the aging of the skin of the face. This happens because the skin of the hands is very thin: just like the skin around the eyes and neck, it is almost devoid of a layer of subcutaneous tissue, which produces a sufficient layer of fatty film that protects the skin from numerous external factors. In addition, such a film prevents the loss of moisture, which becomes a natural protection against the appearance of wrinkles. There is practically no such protective film on the hands.
Furthermore, after 25 years, the skin renewal processes begin to slow down in the human body: the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, responsible for firmness and elasticity, decreases. At the same time, blood circulation throughout the body slows down, which causes difficulties in the "breathing" of the skin and, consequently, in the nutrition of the skin. Gradually, the skin becomes rougher and looser. In addition, over time, veins and vessels appear through the surface layer, the tendons are shaped.
Age spots are added, which are the result of the thinning of the basement membrane that separates the epidermis (upper 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, forming age spots unevenly.
Aesthetic plastic surgery of the hands can eliminate the whole range of age-related problems, restore skin elasticity, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
What problems does plastic hand surgery face?
With the help of injections and hardware procedures, you can solve such problems as:
- loss of adipose tissue;
- hyperpigmentation;
- thinned and dry skin, reduced elasticity;
- wrinkles and folds;
- photoaging, roughness;
- greyish or yellowish tint;
- remodeling of superficial veins.
The best techniques to rejuvenate the skin of the hands
The emergence of the latest injection and hardware techniques, as well as the creation of fillers designed to solve age-related dermis problems, have made hand skin improvement a simple and inexpensive procedure.
Biorevitalization
Bio-revitalization is the easiest and fastest way to correct age-related disorders. The procedure delivers hyaluronic acid to the deep layers of the skin, thus providing long-term hydration and protection. Deep hydration of the dermis improves tone, slows the aging process, improves the color and structure of the tissues and also eliminates small wrinkles and folds.
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 subsequent recovery period.
Who is shown the procedure
Hyaluronic acid injections have no age limit. They are indicated at the first signs of dryness and lethargy of the skin.
Mesotherapy
A similar procedure to biorevitalization, but not only hyaluronic acid is used as injections, but a whole complex of nutrients.
Preparations appropriately selected for mesotherapy or a cocktail of them help to eliminate many aesthetic problems: dry skin of the hands, wrinkles, wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity. In addition, the procedure provides good tissue firming and also has a brilliant healing and antioxidant effect. The injections will eliminate hyperpigmentation and small scars, firm the skin, restore a healthy color and an 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-injective mesotherapy. It is no less effective than the classic version, but requires more procedures. The result is kept for six months. You can extend this by taking a second course or by running a series of maintenance sessions once a month.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Mesotherapy also has no age limit. Ideally, it is suitable for patients with dry and loose skin on the hands, covered with wrinkles and folds.
Plastic contour 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 the subcutaneous injection of fillers with hyaluronic acid.
Since hyaluronate is a natural component of the human body, there are practically no allergic reactions to the procedure. For the introduction of fillers under the skin of the hands, atraumatic cannulas are used - surgical needles in the form of a soft tube, which allow you to carry out the rejuvenation procedure without pain and prevent the appearance of hematomas.
Modern preparations for contour plastics - fillers produced in Germany and the Netherlands - have already proved their indispensability in restoring volume and extraordinary velvety to the skin of the hands.
Hence, the innovative development of Dutch scientists - the dermal filler - guarantees a lasting rejuvenation effect 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. That is to say, this collagen forms intensely in human skin at the age of 18-20 and makes it elastic, tender and velvety, hides the vessels sanguine.
Polycaprolactone is gradually absorbed into the tissues and excreted from the body naturally, without disturbing the functioning of organs and systems. Therefore, the filler is considered to be very safe.
The German filler, consisting of a mineral linked to the human body - calcium hydroxyapatite, has the wonderful property of initiating 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 with the help of this filler very effective and persistent: the skin of 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 underwent hand rejuvenation with a German filler were satisfied with the results of the procedure soon 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 the hands
Fractional laser thermolysis is based on exposing the skin to high temperatures. But you shouldn't be afraid of the procedure. The laser beam penetrates 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, firms and renews tissues. With the help of a diffuse laser beam, it is possible to get rid of varicose veins, hemangiomas, pronounced foci of hyperpigmentation.
Modern fractional devices allow thermolysis to be carried out with the utmost precision. At the same time, the effect on the skin of the hands is very gentle, and the result remains for many years.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Laser thermolysis is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, with defects such as:
- flaccidity of the skin of the hands, wrinkles, furrows;
- photoaging;
- scars and scars after injuries, burns, operations;
- age spots, including age spots.
Plasmolifting
Plasmolifting involves introducing purified, platelet-rich plasma into the skin of the hands. This healing and rejuvenation procedure contains 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 all those who want to get rid of the first signs of aging, firm 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.
Peeling
Peeling involves removing the upper keratinized layer of the epidermis from the hands. The procedure starts the cell renewal process, rejuvenates and firms the tissues, restores softness and smoothness.
The rejuvenating effect of peeling is quite persistent: the surface of the skin is smoothed, wrinkles and spots disappear, the brushes acquire a healthy color and smoothness.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
A light exfoliation with lactic, glycolic or salicylic acid is used to eliminate irregularities and even out the skin tone. The procedure is suitable for young people with the initial process of withering the dermis of the hands.
For more mature patients with loose, sagging skin and signs of photoaging, medium peels are recommended: treatment with trichloroacetic acid smooths out scars and roughness, eliminates pigmentation and renews the upper layer of the epidermis.
Paraffin compresses
The main effect of paraffin therapy is skin hydration. Thus, with the application of paraffin, there is a deep and uniform heating of all tissues, the metabolic processes in the cells are accelerated, the destruction of lipids is stimulated, and the skin is smoothed. In problem areas, fluid stagnation occurs, which prevents the removal of toxins. The hot paraffin causes the liquid to come to the surface, along with the decomposition products dissolved in it. Due to the fact that the released sweat does not evaporate due to the paraffin shell, water is absorbed and toxins remain on the surface. As a result, the skin does not dry out, like in a sauna, but on the contrary is hydrated, smoothed and firmed. This intense hydration restores the skin's water balance well, preventing aging. Also, when exposed to heat, it improves the blood supply to the skin, which helps restore the skin's texture.
Paraffin hand wraps can eliminate dryness, peeling, redness. During the procedure, active healing of microcracks occurs, the skin becomes smooth and tender. The pens after paraffin therapy will look much younger. And for all other benefits, this procedure is very pleasant - after 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 the heated paraffin, which not only add an unusual aroma, but also strengthen and smooth the skin.
To consolidate the effect of paraffin therapy, a special relaxing and invigorating hand massage will help.
Who is shown the procedure
Paraffin therapy has no age limit. With this procedure, you can clean the upper layer of the skin from the keratinized epidermis, from dust particles, from any external contaminants that clog the pores. As a result, lymphatic outflow is activated, which improves skin nutrition. Ultimately, the skin becomes supple, supple, velvety, acquires a vibrant color.
