Difficult to conceal, their treatment is a frequent request in aesthetic medicine.

The techniques used arehyaluronic acid for the handsmesotherapy laser for ageing hands and hand peels.
The passage of time is the main cause of ageing hands.
However, genetics play an important role in the speed at which fat disappears from the hands and skin is slimmed.
Several external factors accelerate this process.
Genuine rejuvenation of the hands is only possible using aesthetic medicine techniques.
However, certain gestures and an appropriate skincare routine can help hands to look their best.
As we age, our hands undergo a number of changes that can give away our true age. It's important to identify and understand the causes of these changes. signs of ageing hands in order to propose effective and appropriate solutions.
It is often said that our hands betray our age, which is why treatment of this part of the body is an increasingly frequent request in aesthetic medicine.
The three main areas of care are:
The injection ofhyaluronic acid is an effective method for hydrating and revitalising the skin, restoring lost volume, smoothing out wrinkles and reducing the visibility of visible veins and tendons.
Two techniques are used.
The hyaluronic acid used is a volumising agent. The quantity of product used varies according to the patient's needs and the desired results. The very first injection may require large quantities, four to five syringes for example.
After the operation, Dr Romano asks the patient to protect his or her hands from dusty or dirty environments (for example, gloves should be used for washing up or cleaning) for three days.
Afterwards, a small haematoma may appear at the cannula entry points.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections are immediate and last for a year.
Peels are an effective method of treating the signs of ageing on the hands.
These chemical agents exfoliate the surface layers of the skin, encouraging cell renewal.
The peels used are TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and PRX-T33.
These peels visibly reduce brown spots caused by the sun and ageing. What's more, by stimulating collagen production, they improve the texture and firmness of the skin and reduce wrinkles.
After the session, the patient can immediately return to his usual activities.
Several sessions are required.
La mesotherapy is an aesthetic medicine technique that involves injecting a mixture of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronic acid and other revitalising substances directly into the skin. This method is particularly effective for moisturising the hands.
By infusing the skin's deeper layers with these essential nutrients, this technique improves skin hydration, texture and elasticity. Hands are softer, smoother and visibly rejuvenated.
A superficial peeling is often carried out at the same time. mesopeel, to combine exfoliation of dead cells with skin hydration.
The protocol involves 3 to 5 sessions, spaced three weeks apart.
Injections of skinboosters finely cross-linked hyaluronic acid, work deep down to intensely hydrate the skin and improve its quality. Surface fine lines are smoothed and the skin feels softer.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add volume; they restore the skin's firmness, elasticity and hydration.
The initial protocol involves the use of two or three syringes, repeated every three months. In the maintenance protocol, two syringes a year are injected.
The laser used by Dr Romano is a ablative laser. The doctor uses the erbium laser and not CO2. These two lasers give comparable results, but the after-effects of CO2 are more severe, hence the preference for erbium.
Fractional lasers and resurfacing lasers stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness. The skin is denser, wrinkles are reduced and the tightening effect is rapidly visible.
By precisely targeting the areas to be treated, the laser eliminates the pigmented cells responsible for brown spots without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The number of sessions varies between two and three. Results are visible as soon as the healing process is complete and improve within three months. They last approximately two years.
The after-effects are marked by the appearance of small scabs and redness lasting no more than three days.
Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive, natural technique used in aesthetic medicine to treat ageing hands. This treatment involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO₂) under the skin, which stimulates blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. By improving blood flow, carboxytherapy encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity. This method is particularly effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines and improving wrinkled skin. The skin is smoother, firmer and younger-looking.
Many sessions are required. The initial treatment involves one session a week for two months. Maintenance treatment involves one session every two months.
