Hand Filler explained

With age and weight loss, the backs of the hands lose fat, so veins and tendons show more. Hand filler adds a thin layer of volume to make the hands look smoother and fuller. Hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen stimulators such as Radiesse are commonly used.

How Hand Filler works

The doctor places filler under the skin on the back of the hand, usually with a blunt cannula, then massages it evenly. HA filler gives volume at once and can be dissolved if needed. Collagen stimulators such as Radiesse also give volume and encourage new collagen over time. The filler sits above the veins and tendons and softens their outline.

Who Hand Filler is for

• Thin hands with visible veins and tendons
• Age-related volume loss in the hands
• People who also want their hands to match a refreshed face

• Those needing full hand strength for heavy manual work in the days after
