Radiesse for Hand Rejuvenation

Radiesse is a calcium-based filler that is robust and can stand the pressures and movement within the hand as well as improving the skin quality significantly. This restores lost volume in the back of the hands and is done with a very simple and convenient procedure, usually with some topical local anaesthetic for a few minutes. The treatment is highly effective and delivers long-lasting results. The first injections often last 12-18 months, but subsequent maintenance ones can last for more.

Typically around 1 syringe Radiesse is needed. This is diluted and spread around the back of the hand, in a an extremely comfortable procedure that most people can’t even feel.

You can resume most activities or return to work right away, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to minimise swelling and bruising.

This is the benefit of the “hyper-diluted” technique. Because the product is thinned, it integrates seamlessly into your tissues. It avoids the “pillow-hand” look that can sometimes occur with thicker fillers. The goal is a natural, elegant restoration where veins and tendons are less prominent, and the skin looks healthy and hydrated.

Patient comfort is a hallmark of my practice. The treatment is extremely comfortable and generally very well-tolerated. I use a specialised technique with a blunt-tipped cannula which minimises the number of injection points and significantly reduces the risk of bruising. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and painless the process is.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply “fill” a space, hyper-diluted Radiesse acts as a biostimulator. By thinning the Radiesse solution, I can spread it smoothly across the back of the hands. Once injected, it triggers your body’s natural regenerative process to produce new collagen and elastin. This doesn’t just add volume; it actually improves the thickness and quality of the skin from the inside out.
