Hand Rejuvenation (Hyaluronic Acid)

A filler treatment that restores volume to the backs of the hands, where ageing thins the skin and makes tendons, veins and bones more prominent. Soft hyaluronic acid gel is placed under the skin to plump the area, soften the bony, hollow look and improve skin quality so the hands better match a rejuvenated face. At DENIFE the treatment is performed by MUDr. Hana Plachá using the same precise needle-or-cannula technique and local anaesthesia as for facial fillers.

The backs of the hands are one of the first places to show ageing: the skin thins, the fatty cushion that hides the tendons and veins shrinks, and the hands can look bony and aged even when the face has been well cared for. Hand rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid restores that lost volume by placing a soft gel just beneath the skin, lifting it away from the underlying structures so tendons and veins are less prominent, while the hyaluronic acid also draws in water to improve skin hydration and quality. At DENIFE in Karlovy Vary the treatment begins with a consultation and assessment of both hands. Local anaesthesia is applied and the filler is introduced through one or a few small entry points using a fine needle or a blunt cannula, then gently moulded across the back of the hand to distribute volume evenly. The result is visible immediately; mild swelling or small bruises can appear for one to three days afterwards and then settle. As with facial filler, hyaluronic acid placed in the hands is gradually broken down by the body over the following months and the treatment can be repeated, and it can be dissolved if needed. The treatment is carried out by MUDr. Hana Plachá, who is certified in plastic surgery; she reviews suitability and contraindications before starting. Hand rejuvenation suits adults who want their hands to match a refreshed face and to reduce the aged, skeletal appearance of the backs of the hands.
