Dermal fillers are known to be one of the leading treatment options for restoring volume in the face, smoothing out lines and wrinkles to rejuvenate the appearance. But, did you know that you can also use dermal fillers to produce the same benefits in the hands? Although the face is often the primary concern of patients, the hands are also susceptible to the aging process. With the recent FDA approval of Restylane® Lyft for hand rejuvenation, you can effectively reverse the signs of aging and restore youthfulness to the hands.
What is Restylane® Lyft?
Restylane® Lyft is a dermal filler from the reputable Restylane® line of products. It is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, which aims to restore the natural volume and qualities to the skin that the body’s own hyaluronic acid provides. For years, Restylane® Lyft has been used to rejuvenate the cheeks and the surrounding areas of the face. This treatment lifted the cheeks and added volume to rejuvenate the appearance. Now, Restylane® Lyft can also be used for the hands.
How Does Restylane® Lyft Work for the Hands?
Restylane® Lyft uses its smooth, hyaluronic acid gel to restore volume to the back of the hands. Over the years, the volume in the back of the hands fades, causing an aged appearance. With Restylane® Lyft, we can restore volume to the hands for a natural look and feel. Although this treatment was primarily created for restoring facial volume, it has been clinically proven to be safe, well tolerated and effective for restoring volume to the back of the hands.
What is the Restylane® Lyft Treatment Like?
Similar to any other dermal filler treatment, the Restylane® Lyft treatment will begin with the application of a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. Then, injections will be placed in and around the back of the hands to restore volume in the desired areas. After the treatment is performed, patients can expect symptoms that include bruising, swelling and itching. However, clinical studies proved these symptoms to be mild and temporary in nature, often resolving in just a few days. The results from Restylane® Lyft for hands can be expected to last approximately one year.
Is Restylane® Lyft Right for Me?
If you are looking for a treatment that can rejuvenate the hands by restoring natural-looking volume, Restylane® Lyft may be a good fit for you. However, there are other factors to consider before determining your candidacy, including your lifestyle, age and health conditions.
