Our hands are one of the markers (as well as the neck with the neckline, earlobes), which can very easily tell that the 18th anniversary is long over. It is on the hands at the first meeting with a person that our eyes consciously or unconsciously fall. Therefore, it should be remembered that the drying of the skin on the hands begins earlier than the aging of facial skin. This is 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 that produces a sufficient layer of oily film that protects the skin from many destructive 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.
In addition, after 25 years, the processes of skin renewal begin to slow down in the human body: it reduces the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity. At the same time, the blood circulation in the whole body slows down, which provokes difficulty in "breathing" of the skin and thus the nutrition of the skin. Gradually the skin becomes rougher and sagger. In addition, over time, veins and vessels appear through the surface layer. the tendons are contoured.
Age spots are added, which are the result of thinning of the basement membrane, which separates the epidermis (upper layer of skin) from the dermis (underlying layer of skin). 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 on the hands can get rid of the full range of age-related problems, restore skin elasticity, improve collagen and elastin synthesis.
What problems does plastic surgery of the hands deal with?
With the help of injections and hardware procedures you can solve problems such as:
- adipose tissue loss;
- hyperpigmentation;
- thinning and dry skin, reduced elasticity;
- wrinkles and creases;
- photoaging, roughness;
- grayish or yellowish tinge;
- 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 the dermis associated with age, have made the improvement of the skin of the hands a simple and affordable procedure.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization 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-lasting 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 removes small wrinkles and creases.
In addition, the procedure has a complex therapeutic 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.
Biorevitalization is often prescribed as a preparation for chemical peels, fractional photothermolysis, IPL and during the recovery period after them.
Who is shown the procedure
Hyaluronic acid injections have no age restrictions. They are indicated at the first signs of dryness and lethargy of 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 mesotherapy or cocktail preparations help to eliminate many cosmetic problems: dry skin on 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. The injections will get rid of hyperpigmentation and small scars, tighten the skin, restore a healthy color and even tone. Mesotherapy is often 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 more procedures. The result is stored for six months. You can extend it by taking a second course or by doing 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 with wrinkles and creases.
Contour plasticity of the hands
The procedure helps to restore the lost volume, smooth out bulging veins and give a nice roundness to the brushes. The technique is based on subcutaneous injection of fillers with hyaluronic acid.
Because hyaluronate is a natural component of the human body, there are virtually no allergic reactions to the procedure. Atraumatic cannulas are used to insert fillers under the skin of the hands - surgical needles in the form of a soft tube, which allow the rejuvenation procedure to be performed without pain and to prevent the appearance of hematomas.
Modern contouring preparations - fillers made in Germany and the Netherlands - have already proven their indispensability to restore volume and unusual velvet on the skin of the hands.
Thus, the innovative development of Dutch scientists - dermal filler - guarantees a lasting rejuvenating 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. Polycaprolactone stimulates skin cells - fibroblasts - to produce collagen type 1. Such collagen is formed intensively in human skin at 18-20 years and makes it elastic, soft and velvety, hides blood vessels.
Polycaprolactone is gradually absorbed into the tissues and excreted naturally by the body without disrupting the functioning of organs and systems. Therefore, the filler is considered very safe.
The German filler, consisting of a mineral associated with the human body - calcium hydroxyapatite, has a wonderful property to start powerful processes for the production of its own collagen: the skin becomes thick 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 sustainable: 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 are satisfied with the results of the procedure immediately after it, and 93% within 12 weeks after it.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Injectable plastic is suitable for people who have little subcutaneous fat on their hands due to natural or age-related changes.
Laser hand therapy
Laser fractional thermolysis is based on exposing the skin to high temperatures. But you should not be afraid of the procedure. The laser beam penetrates the deep layers of the dermis, and the upper layer - the epidermis - is not damaged. There is no pain either.
The procedure smoothes wrinkles, evens out skin tone, tightens and renews tissues. With the help of a scattered laser beam, spider veins, hemangiomas, and pronounced foci of hyperpigmentation can be eliminated.
Modern fractional devices allow thermolysis to be performed with the highest accuracy. 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:
- sagging skin on the hands, wrinkles, furrows;
- photoaging;
- scars and scars after injuries, burns, operations;
- age spots, including age spots.
Plasmolifting
Plasmolifting involves the introduction into the skin of the hands of their own, purified and rich in platelets plasma. This healing and rejuvenating procedure has great 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 remove light pigmentation and freckles.
Peels
Peeling involves removing the upper 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 the peeling is quite stable: the skin surface is smoothed, wrinkles and blemishes disappear, the brushes acquire a healthy color and smoothness.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Light peeling with lactic, glycolic or salicylic acid is used to remove imperfections and even out skin tone. The procedure is suitable for young people with an initial process of drying of the dermis of the hands.
For more mature patients with dull and sagging skin and signs of photoaging, medium peels are recommended - treatment with trichloroacetic acid will smooth out scars and roughness, remove pigmentation and restore the upper layer of the epidermis.
Paraffin wraps
The main effect of paraffin therapy is moisturizing the skin. Thus, the application of paraffin has a deep uniform heating of all tissues, accelerates metabolic processes in cells, stimulates the destruction of lipids and smoothes the skin. Fluid stagnation occurs in problem areas, which prevents the removal of toxins. The hot paraffin causes the liquid, together with the decomposition products dissolved in it, to come to the surface. Due to the fact that the 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 intensive hydration restores the water balance of the skin, preventing its aging. In addition, exposure to heat improves the blood supply to the skin, which helps to restore the structure of the skin.
Paraffin hand wraps can remove dryness, flaking, redness. During the procedure there is an active healing of microcracks, the skin becomes smooth and tender. Pens after paraffin therapy will look much younger. And to 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 hand massage will help to consolidate the effect of paraffin therapy.
Who is shown the procedure
Paraffin therapy has no age restrictions. With this procedure you can clean the upper layer of the skin from keratinized epidermis, dust particles, any external contaminants that clog pores. As a result, lymph outflow is activated, which improves skin nutrition. Eventually, the skin becomes supple, elastic, velvety, acquires a vibrant color.
