As men and women get older, the skin’s elasticity is gradually lost alongside the reduction of the plumping ingredient collagen, which therefore results in the loosening of the skin all over the face and body. Radiesse is an award winning FDA-approved dermal filler which is designed to plump up the skin, and whilst in the past it has been more associated with facial treatments, this dermal filler is now also being effectively used to plump up the hands, leaving them looking younger than ever before.

Dr Ravi Jain is the co-author of a recent study into the effects of Radiesse, and so far the long term data has proven that this treatment is very effective. Customer satisfaction is very high, with those treated with Radiesse happy with the plumping effects this dermal filler has had on their aging hands.

There are many benefits to Radiesse which is why it is a growing solution to veiny and bony hands. Not only is the treatment FDA-approved and mixed with anaesthesia so there is relatively no pain, the special formula means that it works directly with your own body and encourages natural collagen production to give long-lasting, plumped up effects. In fact, Radiesse has been proven to last longer that most other leading dermal fillers; just see what previous Riverbanks Clinic patients have to say on our website.

By plumping up the hand using Radiesse dermal fillers, your hands are left looking healthier and more youthful. This procedure is carried out without invasive surgery and the customer is left scar free, making Radiesse the expert’s solution to age-affected hands.

We have all heard that a woman’s greatest give-away to her age is the hands, but with Radiesse dermal fillers, women can fool everyone and hide their real age with plumped up and younger looking hands.

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.

For many women, one of the biggest tell-tale signs of age is the hands; we only have to see those images of Madonna’s hands to see how they can be a massive give-away of age. We are all ready to look after our faces with the likes of anti-aging creams, facials and so on, but what about our hands? With a treatment such as Radiesse, hands can look instantly younger, leaving everyone guessing your real age.

So what exactly is Radiesse? Radiesse is an award winning dermal filler which is injected into the hands. This innovative filler not only gives the treated area instant fuller results, but also works with the body to stimulate natural collagen re-growth, giving long-lasting effects (up to a year). Radiesse is more effective compared to other dermal fillers, and is made up of calcium-based microspheres which are suspended in a water-based gel. This means that the solution is 100% biodegradable and absorbs naturally into the body.

Just as dermal fillers are used on the face, Radiesse can be used on the hands to plump up the lines and wrinkles which start to appear as people get older. Radiesse is a safe procedure which uses biocompatible technology which means no allergy testing is needed. The injection procedure also means it is almost completely painless, and there is therefore next to no recovery time.

Ideal for women (and men, of course) who feel embarrassed about the ageing of their hands, Radiesse can be the perfect solution. Eliminating wrinkles and deep lines, and plumping them up to give a firmer, fuller appearance, Radiesse is an effective non-invasive solution to one of the biggest signs of ageing. So, instead of hiding away your hands with a pair of gloves, feel more confident with Radiesse treatment which is designed to give hands that much desired, more youthful appearance.

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.

The cost for these two great treatments?

For July only we’re offering a Radiesse treatment and 2 IPL treatments at the reduced cost of just £1200 – a massive saving of £500!

For some people ageing hands are a very serious and worrying part of their body. Sometimes the loss of firmness and volume can leave your hands looking worn, aged and weak. It can make you feel self conscious and nervous about yourself. In some cases you might even try to cover your hands with gloves or clothing.

However, there is a method which can significantly reduce the effects of ageing hands. Up until now the procedures involved in rejuvenating ageing hands were not ideal. No specific technique has worked perfectly and methods are often intrusive and very painful. But there is an option which is realistic and non-invasive.

In this article we’re going to look at the treatment of Radiesse. The treatment itself contains a dermal filler which consists of calcium hydroxylapatite. The CaHA is injected into the skin and then moulded into place. The affects of the procedure are noticed immediately and do not require constant visits and follow up treatments.

The research

The Dermatologic Surgery published a research paper on the use of Radiesse in April 2010. The study involved 6 countries across Europe with 62 adult patients. The research wanted to examine how effective calcium hydroxylapatite or CaHA is when combined with anaesthetic at combating diminished volume in ageing hands.

Patients were injected with either 0.1ml of lidocaine bolus in each hand followed by CaHA or 1.3ml of CaHA premixed with 0.1 to 0.2ml of lidocaine. These interdigital injection techniques were then followed by massage and molding to distribute the filler followed injections.

The results showed that 86% of patients that had undergone the procedure were satisfied with the results. 12 weeks after the administration of the Radiesse 93% of investigators we satisfied with the results. During weeks 2 and 12 of the treatment patients were examined by a physician. The physicians evaluated 98% of patients as improved or better on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale.

The investigators concluded that the treatment is safe to use and overall highly successful. The treatment is easy to use, there are minimal postprecedure events and the outcome was desirable. CaHA is deemed as safe and the benefits are efficient and the treatment option is nonintrusive.

Is it for you?

If you’re uncomfortable about ageing hands and would like to see what options are available it would definitely be worth enquiring about Radiesse. Since the treatment is easy and painless to administer there are no difficult or lengthy procedures to go through. It’s also completely safe and there is no risk of damaging or affecting your hands in any way.

If you’re serious about rejuvenating ageing hands then it’s a good idea to talk to your practitioner. They will be able to provide you with information and advice on Radiesse. The treatment may not be suitable for everyone so you can ask any questions learn about what’s involved in the treatment.

If you want to see younger, healthier looking hands then ask Dr Ravi Jain about Radiesse.

They do say that the main thing that gives away the age of a woman is her hands. Think back to all the stories about Madonna and her youthful looks – her face looks great but her hands are definitely showing signs of aging.

But it needn’t be that way.

This article in the Daily Mail tells us:

As well as the passage of time, sun is the main culprit when it comes to ageing our hands, closely followed by that familiar old enemy, smoking.

Anything that dries the skin, such as extreme cold or using lots of cleaning products, also hastens the ageing process.

Reading the article, we’ve no doubt that the process written about works, but our very own Dr Ravi Jain would rather recommend Radiesse.

He says:

We use Radiesse (and have been doing so for over 1 year). Results last well for a year and it is relatively pain free with only 4-5 injection sites needed unlike some other procedures. Patients love it!
