Nonsurgical Cosmetic How-To: Skinspirations Details Proper Use of FDA-Approved Injectable Fillers for Hand Rejuvenation Procedures
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2014 -- FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers (i.e. hyaluronic acid gel, calcium hydroxylapatite, Poly-L-lactic acid) are used in several procedures that are performed to restore any facial fat loss in patients, but are primarily used for wrinkle treatment of the skin, as well as skin rejuvenation—in particular, these fillers are being used as popular treatments in nonsurgical cosmetic procedures such as restoring smoother skin in the hands. (1) (2) Dr. Cynthia Elliott of Skinspirations, a center for cosmetic enhancement devoted to non-surgical aesthetics, delineates the simple procedure that allows youth to be restored to the hands using injectables and fillers.
The hands are usually one of the first parts of the body to show age, even before the face—sun damage, brown spots, noticeable veins and bones all contribute to a person’s perceived age, all of which can be attributed to the external environment, coupled with the way that humans typically neglect their hands, wears on the skin and may leave wrinkles or other damage. (2)
“People are most self-conscious about the damage that has been inflicted on their hands over the years,” said Dr. Elliott. “Hand rejuvenation procedures can make a person’s hands look at least 10 years younger with a single treatment, and can provide immediate and lasting results.”
According to Dr. Elliott, plumping up the skin with dermal fillers or stimulants, diminishes the prominence of the veins and bones that are seen with aging. When questioned about the aspects of a typical procedure, Dr. Elliott commented that a Skinspirations clinician gives the client two to three painless injections on the top of the hand, followed by massage—and that simplicity is what designates it as a “lunchtime procedure,” because it can be completely administered within 15 minutes and has no downtime. Anyone who has the procedure performed can resume their daily activities immediately afterwards, per Dr. Elliott.
Dr. Elliott gives the following tips for those who wish to preserve the youthful look of their hands:
1. Use sunscreen generously. It is important to remember that we should protect our hands from the sun, just as we would our face or the rest of our body.
2. Drink plenty of water. Regular water intake helps to maintain the supple and smooth feel of the skin.
3. Carry concealer. Using concealer will help to cover any bruising on the hands after cosmetic procedures.
4. Moisturize. Any moisturizers that would typically be used on the face can also be used to protect the hands from the harsher elements of the environment.
