As we age, our hands can often tell a story that even our faces don’t. Sun exposure, collagen loss, and reduced fat can lead to visible veins, tendons, wrinkles, and thinning skin.
Fortunately, with a simple injection of Radiesse filler for hands in St. Petersburg, our team at Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness can address these changes without surgery or downtime.
Here’s a closer look at how hand filler works, what to expect, and even more ways we can improve the appearance of your hands.
What Is Radiesse?
An FDA-approved, injectable dermal filler, Radiesse has a formula created with tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. These particles act like a scaffold for new tissue growth, and they stimulate new collagen production.
The filler provides immediate plumping results, restoring youthful fullness. It also improves skin quality, texture, and elasticity over time.
Unlike other fillers, Radiesse encourages your body to rebuild what aging may have diminished. That’s why full results develop in the weeks and months after treatment.
The Treatment Experience
A typical Radiesse hand rejuvenation session takes about 15 minutes. However, plan for at least 40 minutes at the office, since we apply a numbing cream that takes 20 minutes to set in prior to the injections.
After your appointment, you may experience some mild swelling or bruising, but most patients can use their hands right away. Swelling typically only lasts 24 to 48 hours and bruising can last up to 2 weeks. Apply a cool compress to help minimize the swelling.
Results can last 12 to 18 months, and in some cases even longer, before we consider a follow-up treatment.
Enjoy Even More Rejuvenation With a Hand Facial
A good complement to Radiesse filler for hands in St. Petersburg is a hand “facial.”
During a hand facial, we apply a peel to lessen brown spots and sun damage.
Through your consultation for hand rejuvenation, we examine your hands and hear about your concerns to make an informed treatment recommendation. If a hand facial would help you towards your rejuvenation goals, one of our expert team members can let you know.
