Our hands are one of the markers (as well as the neck with the décolleté area, earlobes), by which it is very easy to understand 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 must be remembered that the withering of the skin of the hands begins earlier than 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 on the 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 destructive external factors. In addition, such a film prevents moisture loss, 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: the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity, decreases. At the same time, blood circulation throughout the body slows down, which provokes difficulty in skin "breathing" and, accordingly, skin nutrition. Gradually, the skin becomes more rough and flabby. In addition, over time, veins and vessels appear through the surface layer, tendons are contoured.
Age spots are added, which are the result of thinning of the basement membrane that separates the epidermis (top 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, unevenly forming age spots.
Cosmetic plastic surgery of hands can get rid of the whole range of age-related problems, restore skin elasticity, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
What problems does hand plastic surgery deal with?
With the help of injections and hardware procedures, you can solve problems such as:
- loss of adipose tissue;
- hyperpigmentation;
- thinning and dry skin, decreased elasticity;
- wrinkles and folds;
- photoaging, roughness;
- grayish or yellowish tint;
- contouring of superficial veins.
The best techniques for rejuvenating the skin of the hands
The emergence of the latest injection and hardware techniques, as well as the creation of fillers designed to solve the problems of age-related dermis, have made hand skin improvement a simple and affordable procedure.
Biorevitalization
Biorevitalization is the simplest and fastest way to correct age-related disorders. The procedure delivers hyaluronic acid to the deep layers of the skin, thereby providing long-term hydration and protection. Deep hydration of the dermis improves tone, slows down the aging process, improves the color and structure of 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 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 preparations for mesotherapy or a cocktail of them help eliminate a lot of cosmetic problems: dry skin of the hands, wrinkles, wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity. In addition, the procedure provides a good tissue tightening, and also has a bright healing and antioxidant effect. Injections will get rid of hyperpigmentation and small scars, tighten the skin, return a healthy color and 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-injection mesotherapy. It is no less effective than the classic version, but requires more procedures. The result is stored for six months. You can prolong it by taking a second course or by performing 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 flabby skin of the hands, covered with wrinkles and folds.
Contour plastic 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 the rejuvenation procedure to be carried out without pain and to prevent the appearance of hematomas.
Modern preparations for contour plastics - fillers produced in Germany and the Netherlands - have already proven their indispensability in restoring volume and extraordinary velvety to the skin of the hands.
So, the innovative development of Dutch scientists - dermal filler - guarantees a lasting effect of rejuvenation 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. Namely, such collagen is intensively formed in human skin at the age of 18-20 and makes it elastic, tender and velvety, hides blood vessels.
Polycaprolactone is gradually absorbed in the tissues and excreted from the body in a natural way, without disturbing the functioning of organs and systems. Therefore, the filler is considered very safe.
The German filler, consisting of a mineral related to the human body - calcium hydroxyapatite, has a wonderful property to launch 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 on 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 immediately after it, and 93% within 12 weeks after it.
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 hands
Laser fractional thermolysis is based on exposure of the skin to high temperatures. But you should not be afraid of the procedure. The laser beam penetrates into 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, pronounced foci of hyperpigmentation can be eliminated.
Modern fractional devices allow to carry out thermolysis 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:
- flabbiness of the skin of 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 one's own, purified and platelet-rich plasma. This healing and rejuvenating procedure contains a huge 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 everyone 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 eliminate light pigmentation and freckles.
Peelings
Peeling involves the removal of 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 peeling is quite persistent: the skin surface is smoothed, wrinkles and spots disappear, the brushes acquire a healthy color and smoothness.
Who is the procedure recommended for?
Light exfoliation with lactic, glycolic or salicylic acids is used to eliminate unevenness and even out skin tone. The procedure is suitable for young people with the initial process of withering of the dermis of the hands.
For more mature patients with sluggish and sagging skin and signs of photoaging, medium peels are recommended - treatment with trichloroacetic acid will smooth out scars and roughness, eliminate pigmentation, and renew the upper layer of the epidermis.
Paraffin wraps
The main effect of paraffin therapy is moisturizing the skin. So, with paraffin application, there is a deep uniform heating of all tissues, metabolic processes in cells are accelerated, lipid destruction is stimulated and the skin is smoothed. In problem areas, fluid stagnation occurs, which prevents the removal of toxins. Hot paraffin causes the liquid, together with the decay products dissolved in it, to come to the surface. Due to the fact that the released 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, it is moisturized, smoothed and tightened. Such intense hydration well restores the water balance of the skin, preventing its aging. In addition, when exposed to heat, the blood supply to the skin improves, which helps to restore the structure of the skin.
Paraffin wraps for hands can eliminate dryness, peeling, redness. During the procedure, active healing of microcracks occurs, the skin becomes smooth and tender. Pens after paraffin therapy will look much younger. And to all other advantages, 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 add an unusual aroma, but also strengthen and smooth the skin.
To consolidate the effect of paraffin therapy, a special relaxing and tonic massage for the hands will help.
Who is shown the procedure
Paraffin therapy has no age restrictions. With this procedure, you can clean the top layer of the skin from the keratinized epidermis, dust particles, any external contaminants that clog pores. As a result, lymph outflow is activated, which improves skin nutrition. Ultimately, the skin becomes elastic, elastic, velvety, acquires a vibrant color.
