Hyaluronic acid for hands

Throughout our lives, skin fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin, which help maintain hydration and firmness. However, as we age, the production of these two vital substances decreases. This results in a loss of skin elasticity and volume, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These effects are particularly noticeable on the hands, where the skin is especially thin.

Hyaluronic acid injections for the hands are an aesthetic medicine treatment designed to correct imperfections caused by skin laxity. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrophilic and biocompatible macromolecule, known for its volumizing and hydrating effects. Once injected into the hands, it fills hollow areas, smooths wrinkles, and stimulates neocollagenesis — the skin’s natural collagen production. As a result, the skin is revitalized and naturally regenerates.

The mobile areas of the body, such as the hands, have thin and delicate skin. Hands are frequently exposed to external elements like sun and cold, making them particularly vulnerable to premature aging.

Signs of aging hands include a loss of hydration, thinning of the skin, and the appearance of fine lines and sagging. These imperfections can be treated with mesolift or Profhilo, both of which involve injecting fluid, hydrating hyaluronic acid into the skin.

Another sign of aging is the prominence of tendons, skeletal features, and visible veins due to skin thinning. Hyaluronic acid injections can address these issues by restoring dermal volume and filling out hollow areas.

Certain precautions should be taken before undergoing hyaluronic acid injections. A personalized medical assessment is necessary to ensure discreet and satisfactory results. Therefore, Dr. Aimé conducts an initial consultation to verify there are no contraindications to the injections, such as :

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Autoimmune disease
• Allergies to the injected product
• Presence of skin lesions on the hands

It’s also important to avoid taking aspirin, anticoagulants, or anti-inflammatory medications at least one week before the injection session to minimize the risk of bruising.

The hand rejuvenation session takes place at Dr. Aimé’s clinic. First, the hands are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The areas for injection are marked with a dermographic pencil. Hyaluronic acid is then injected using a very fine needle or a cannula. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is painless due to the anesthetic included in the injected product. The injection technique and the amount of hyaluronic acid used are tailored to each patient’s needs.

The effects of the injections are immediately visible. However, the final results will become fully apparent after 10 to 15 days. At that point, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the appearance of your hands — they will appear fuller, more youthful, and revitalized.

The price of a hyaluronic acid injection session for the hands typically starts at €330, including tax. The total cost of the treatment varies depending on the product used and the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired result.
