How to make your hands plump and soft?

Skinny hands with visible blue veins can be due to genetics or many causes. The skin and fatty tissue on the hands are inherently thinner than other areas of the body, so tendons, blood vessels, and bones under the skin are more easily visible. The aging process causes the skin to gradually lose collagen and elastin, making the skin thinner, or a diet lacking in nutrients, especially protein, can cause muscles, including those in the hands, to shrink and tendons to become more prominent.

To rejuvenate thin hands, doctors can use two medical cosmetic methods that are minimally invasive, less painful but still safe and highly effective: hyaluronic acid (HA) injection or filler. ). You should go directly to a dermatology or skin aesthetic specialist so the doctor can examine the cause and advise on appropriate hand rejuvenation treatment. Depending on the treatment purpose and the location to be injected, the doctor chooses a type of filler or HA with different concentrations, hardness, and elasticity.

HA is a natural substance found in the body’s connective tissues. This is one of the main components in skin structure, along with collagen and elastin, helping the skin stay hydrated, moisturized, smooth and elastic. When injecting HA, doctors often use the micro-injection technique (mesotherapy) with a needle tip as small as a hair, directly injecting the drug into the dermis of the hand.

On average, it takes about 3-7 days for HA to gradually dissolve, hydrate, provide moisture, tighten the skin, and fade wrinkles. In addition to providing deep moisture, HA also stimulates cells to produce new collagen and elastin, creating elasticity for the skin.

Filler is a biological or synthetic substance that fills in lost volume, helps shape and support skin structure as well as increase skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. There are many types of fillers licensed for use in cosmetics such as HA fillers (cross-linked HA), CaHA, PLLA, PMMA…

With sinewy hands due to a lack of fatty tissue, the doctor injects filler directly into the back of the hand. The filler block located under the skin will shape and replace the area of ​​fat tissue that is missing and at the same time erase wrinkles on the back of the hand.

The hand-filling effect of filler injections can be seen immediately after one injection and gradually stabilizes over a few weeks. One of the main ingredients of filler today is HA. Therefore, a few days after injection, HA hydrates under the skin, stimulating the natural endogenous collagen and elastin regeneration process, creating a shiny, smooth skin effect. Before injecting HA or filler, the doctor anesthetizes the area to reduce pain. After the injection, the needle spots will be slightly red, but will subside and disappear completely after a few days.

Filler or HA products have temporary effects. According to the body’s natural elimination mechanism, filler and HA will gradually dissolve over time. Depending on the type, product quality, injection location and body condition, each person’s results will vary from a few months to a year. Typically, HA has a shorter effective time than filler.

Filler and HA injection procedures are very common, but there is a potential risk of complications if not done properly, injected at the wrong location, dosage, or if sterility is not guaranteed during the injection process. Therefore, you should go to a reputable medical facility to have it performed by a licensed doctor.
