Stop wrinkled hands thanks to lipofilling

The skin on the back of the hands, particularly thin and almost devoid of fatty tissue, is crossed by numerous small veins and covers the superficial tendons of the extensor muscles of the fingers. Hand lipofilling in Paris is an aesthetic technique increasingly in demand to counter the effects of sun exposure, toxins, stress, and aging, which tend to further refine this delicate skin.

What is Hand Lipofilling?

Lipofilling, by reinjecting fat into the hand area, helps restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of veins and tendons, thus giving the hands a younger, smoother appearance.

Why do hands age? This phenomenon is mainly explained by the frequent exposure of the hands to various attacks which accelerate their skin aging. In Paris, hand lipofilling is an increasingly popular technique to combat these signs of aging. These signs include the appearance of brown spots, increasingly wrinkled and thin skin, and a loss of density that makes the veins and tendons on the back of the hand more visible. Daily habits and lifestyle have a major impact on this aging. Just like the face, which wrinkles as we age, the hands are constantly exposed to the sun. UVA and UVB rays, as well as artificial UV sources, contribute to photoaging of the skin and the appearance of pigment spots. The rate at which skin thins and loses fat is partly determined genetically. In addition, smoking worsens the formation of wrinkles. Hand lipofilling carried out by Doctor Bergeret in Paris offers a solution to compensate for these effects of aging, by restoring volume and improving the general appearance of the hands.

However, it should be noted that approximately 50% of the injected fat can be reabsorbed in the first four months after the procedure. The remainder persists permanently in the hands, eliminating the risk of overdose, a common concern for facial treatments. Hand lipofilling takes place at Doctor Bergeret in Paris under local anesthesia plus general sedation or complete anesthesia because there is a limitation in the use of local anesthetic products.
