The Hands Give It Away

The hands will give it away. If you think that someone looks very young for their age, take a look at their hands. The hands are the second most important cosmetic feature after the face, yet hands are often overlooked
when considering cosmetic procedures.

Due to volume loss, aging hands are bony and show veins and tendons which younger hands do not. Another tell-tale sign of aging hands are the dreaded brown spots; typically seen on faces with severe sun damage.

Restoring hands to a more youthful appearance can be achieved with a combination of light-based treatments and fat grafting. LimeLite is a light based treatment that removes the brown pigmentation on the skin. It is often used successfully on the face, neck and chest. With a series of treatments, usually one to three are needed, the brown spots will begin to fade within one to two weeks. LimeLight is gentle and suitable for all skin types. Fat grafting or dermal fat transfer can be done at the same time or as a separate procedure. Fat grafts restore lost tissue to aging hands, filling in the spaces or grooves between the bones. Fat is taken from one area area of the body, purified and then injected into the back of the hands where it takes permanently. Choose your fat grafting procedure with a qualified experienced plastic surgeon who knows the anatomy of the hands.
