TWEAKMENT
Injectbale Fillers for Ageing Hands
Join me as I visit Dr. David Jack on Harley Street for an injectable filler treatment to rejuvenate the backs of my hands. This procedure helps restore volume and youthful appearance to aging hands.
What is Hand Filler?
Aging Hands: As we age, hands lose volume, making veins and tendons more prominent. This treatment helps to restore a more youthful look.
Product Used: Dr. Jack prefers using Ellansé, a collagen-stimulating filler made from polycaprolactone. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Ellansé encourages the body to produce its own collagen, providing long-lasting results.
Procedure Overview:
Anesthetic: A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort during the injections.
Injection Process: Small amounts of filler are injected into the backs of the hands, followed by gentle massage to distribute the product evenly.
Volume Restoration: The filler helps to replace lost volume between the bones, reducing the bony appearance and enhancing the overall look of the hands.
Expected Results:
Immediate Improvement: Hands appear smoother and more youthful immediately after the treatment.
Long-Term Benefits: The collagen stimulation from Ellansé provides results that can last up to four years.
Aftercare:
Post-Treatment Care: Avoid strenuous activities and do not stand on your hands for at least 24 hours. The filler will be malleable for about an hour after the procedure.
Gentle Handling: Be gentle with your hands for the next few days to ensure the best results.
Personal Experience:
Quick and Easy: The entire procedure took about three minutes per hand, including the application of anesthetic.
Peculiar Sensation: The anesthetic caused a fizzy tingling sensation, but the filler blended in well, making the hands look smoother.
Looking Forward: Excited to see the final results as the collagen stimulation kicks in over the next few weeks.
