hand rejuvenation - fraxel, restylane, radiesse

Hi Dr. Rivkin,

What is the best way to fill out aged thin hands and make them look plump and younger? I do not want surgery. Do you use a filler or another procedure and if so what works the best and lasts the longest?
Thanks so much

hi,
that's a tough question.
there's people doing hand rejuvenation with fillers, from restylane to radiesse. seems to work, but its a matter of whether it looks natural or not. i use lasers (fraxel, active fx) to smooth out wrinkles and stimulate collagen. i think this works well and leaves a natrual result. i personally do not think that fillers leave a natural result, but i could be wrong. if you are thinking of having someone do it, ask for their own before and after photos to be sure that the results look natural.
