As a person gets older, The quality of the tissue in the hand deteriorates. The skin gets thinner, and the fat diminishes. This leads to guttering on the back of the hand, a wrinkly appearance of the skin and veins being more prominent
The use of filler has offered a solution in the treatment of the aging hand. The filler not only volumises the hand but provides a base under which the skin can rest. This serves to create a more youthful and fuller hand
