Cosmetic Treatment
As we age, like our faces our hands age also! The skin becomes less smooth and more sun damaged. The hands lose volume causing the veins to become more prominent.
Frequently the focus of cosmetic improvement is the face, yet one of the most age-telling body features neglected are our hands. The skin on the back of the hands is extremely thin and loss of fat padding shows quickly. Take away this cushion and all the structures in the hand show up, the tendons, bones and the veins.
The natural fat cushion that we are born with begins to lessen in our late twenties and early 30′s. By the time most of us approach 50, we have hands that tell the truth about our age and often they can actually make us seem older than we are!
Whenever you have any type of cosmetic treatment, you want to choose a clinic that is experienced and regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to ensure you are getting a procedure that is safe, tried and tested.
Dermal fillers work by imitating a naturally occurring substance within your body – a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. Its normal function is to bind water so it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body, such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin. By boosting your skin with this naturally occurring substance, dermal fillers revitalise and add volume to the area instantly. This diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and gives a natural softer look. The gel we use is very tissue-friendly and closely resembles that which exists in the body.
The treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the area first. A topical anesthetic will be first applied for your comfort. The treating doctor or nurse will then do a series of injections into the area using our bespoke technique which means we inject the fillers in a way to enhance your natural features. You will then be explained the aftercare.
Your filler appointment will take about 45 minutes from start to finish. As soon as the series of injections is completed, you can go back to your regular activities.
At One Cosmetic, we use only the most advanced range of Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that are available in the Australian market. These products also contain lidocaine, which means that the treated areas are numbed simultaneously during treatment, improving the overall treatment experience for the patient. Your injector will then gently massage the fillers to soften the product.
We regularly get asked about our procedures, so we have put together a couple of questions we get asked on a regular basis. If there is something else you would like to know, please get in touch!
No, our team is selective in who they treat. Below is a guide of patients who may not be suitable for treatment
Volumising hollowed, veiny hands usually requires 1ml of dermal filler per side.
Most of our patients are satisfied after this volume. We usually review at 2 weeks post treatment to identify if more dermal filler is required.
Due to Australian regulations, we cannot name medicine online. We only stock premium TGA approved brands of dermal fillers.
Cheek fillers last anywhere from 12-18 months. The body will break down the product over a number of months. Every patient’s body will do this at a different rate, hence the varied longevity.
The treatment provides an immediate result. However, the hands may swell slightly. This means that the result directly after the treatment may not be the final result. The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a couple of days. To achieve the result you want it is recommended to have a touch-up treatment 2 to 4 weeks after the initial session. This will also add to the duration of the treatment effect.
