Radiesse for Improving Wrinkles on the Back of the Hands, and Its Nodule Side Effects

Hello. This is Lepton Dermatology.

Today, I’d like to talk about wrinkles on the back of the hands, one of the areas where signs of aging appear.

In fact, just like facial wrinkles, we often see patients visit because they are stressed about wrinkles on the back of their hands.

I usually recommend an improvement method using Radiesse.

Since Lepton Dermatology is a Radiesse key doctor clinic, we use it frequently

and I have also posted about it several times.

How does Radiesse help improve wrinkles on the back of the hands?

Radiesse’s main ingredient, calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), activates fibroblast activity and induces the body’s own collagen production.

During this process, collagen and elastin are actively regenerated, which makes this a treatment that significantly improves skin elasticity.

Simply put, it helps prevent aging by improving skin elasticity, reducing sagging, refining skin texture, improving fine wrinkles, and providing nourishment to the skin.

Why I recommend Radiesse for wrinkles on the back of the hands

The procedures currently compared with Radiesse include Sculptra and Juvelook Volume.

In general, Sculptra and Juvelook Volume are used to increase facial volume and are suitable for filling in sunken areas of the face.

Because the skin on the back of the hands is very thin, the main goal is not volume enhancement but wrinkle improvement.

Therefore, I recommend Radiesse as suitable for improving wrinkles on the back of the hands, and it can help improve elasticity and deliver good results.

Why the practitioner matters,

About the side effects of Radiesse

Radiesse has not been introduced in Korea for very long, so there are not many shared cases and experiences. That is why the practitioner is very important.

Because this is a treatment that requires a dilution process, the dilution ratio varies depending on the purpose of use and the treatment area.

As mentioned earlier, our Lepton Dermatology clinic is a Radiesse key doctor clinic, so we continuously study treatment techniques and, based on our experience with many cases not only for wrinkles on the back of the hands but also for other necessary areas, we provide treatment at an appropriate concentration.

In the case of Radiesse, unlike Juvelook or Sculptra, it is not a powder formulation but a soft gel, so it does not go through a hydration process,

which means the likelihood of nodule formation is relatively low. However, if it is not properly diluted or if the practitioner injects it in one concentrated area, nodule issues can occur.

Also, if the dilution ratio is too thin, the treatment may not produce noticeable results. Therefore, it is important to understand Radiesse’s mechanism well

and receive the treatment after 충분한 consultation from a skilled practitioner with sufficient experience in this area.

Thank you.
