Hand Injections
Loss of volume in the dorsal hands is one of the hallmarks of aging. Often the hands are neglected as most people focus on facial treatments. Radiesse is an ideal filler to restore lost volume on the back of the hand. One of the many benefits of Radiesse is that it delivers immediate results for patients looking to restore volume in the aging hands. In addition to replenishing lost volume, Radiesse also stimulates collagen production to promote a more long-term improvement. In many patients, this extended correction can last for up to one year.
Consultation
Dr. Jason D. Johnson will perform a thorough consultation and assess your hands to determine the appropriate treatment option to achieve your desired results.
Side Effects and Recovery
The most common side effects are temporary bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, or nodules. Patients may experience mild swelling after the procedure that can last up to 1-2 weeks. We instruct patients to limit strenuous physical activity that involves their hands for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Occasionally, bruising may occur at the injection sites. Avoiding certain medications and supplements, such as baby aspirin and fish oil, can minimize bruising.
Results are immediate and can last up to 1 year, or even longer in some patients. The duration of filler correction depends on the area treated, the injection technique, and the rate that the patient’s tissues break down the filler.
