Fillers Help Rejuvenate Aging Hands

When patients ask about fillers for their face, it presents the opportunity to also talk to them about their aging hands, according to Dr. Dee Anna Glaser, a professor and vice-chairman of the department of dermatology at St. Louis University School of Medicine. 

Prepared fillers such as hyaluronic acid can be used to rejuvenate aging hands, she said. The amount used is about two to three syringes for both hands, recovery is quick, and the results can last up a year.

The procedure is also relatively safe, and aside from the initial bruising and lumpiness, the odds of infection are low, said Dr. Glaser. However, she did not advise using permanent fillers.
