Today, I presented a lecture on how to achieve younger looking hands, at The Body Conference in London to physicians, surgeons and nurses from all over the world. Here is a brief summary of my talk:

Common problems seen in the ageing hand:

• Brown spots – hyperpigmentation representing sun damage
• Wrinkles – representing sun damage which reduces the elasticity of the skin. Wrinkle are also caused by loss of volume to the hands.
• Bony hands – certain conditions such as osteoporosis cause widening of the joints and muscles waste away, making the hands look bony, and skinny.

Treatments which I use to achieve younger looking hands:

• IPL – a gentle laser zaps away the brown spots in just 1 or 2 sessions
• Radiesse – a collagen stimulating dermal filler which requires 1 treatment to plump up the lost volume and give smooth, hydrated skin for up to 1 year.
• Restylane Vital – hydrating injections of hyaluronic acid which plump the skin, making it very soft and smooth. Requires 3 treatments, and lasts about 6-8 months.
• Sculptra – 2 treatments of collagen stimulating injections required. New skin takes about 3 months to grow and then lasts for up to 2 years.

No matter how much we take care of the rest of our body, wrinkly hands are the bane of any woman as she gets older, and often a source of embarrassment and worry.

But no longer! Help is at ‘hand’! (Sorry!)

Dr Ravi Jain swears by Radiesse for wrinkly hands, and July’s special offer means you can sooon have great hands AND a great complexion to match!

Radiesse – One treatment, INSTANT RESULTS.

Radiesse, which works by stimulating the skin to encourage collagen to re-grow, can also be used for instant hand wrinkle-reducing results. Some local anaesthetic is mixed into the Radiesse and then injected into the back of the hands. Between 1 to 4 injections may be required per hand, and the procedure is very comfortable. Massage is then applied by the doctor afterwards and then you have instant hand rejuvenation.

Results are FANTASTIC, and patients report back high rates of satisfaction. The effects last about 1 year so an annual top up is required.

But let’s be honest – if your hands are looking better and less wrinkled, they may still have age spots or sun damage, and that’s going to spoil the look completely. So, along with your Radiesse, you can look forward to 2 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments on yourhands!!

Get perfect hands!

With the medical level of IPL used at Riverbanks Clinic you can achieve results not possible in salons. Reduce and remove age and sunspots to restore your hands to their former glory! Find out more about IPL on our main website.
