The hands are the body part that most reveals age, since it has been the body part that before nothing was done and it was impossible to hide. The signs of aging in the hands are characterized by changes in the skin and loss of volume of the soft tissues, which makes the skin look wrinkled and furrows can be seen, leaving the vascular and tendon structures exposed.
The volume of the hands was traditionally restored with dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, which restored volume, but caused little or no change in skin texture. With the emergence of the fat injection lipo technique, a very important change was caused in the rejuvenation of the hand.
The injection of autogenous fat, that is, fat extracted from the patient's own body, in addition to correcting the volume, causes a notable improvement in the texture of the skin, eliminating fine wrinkles and improving the thickness of the skin. It is known that stem cells can be extracted from fat. When we inject our hands with fat, a percentage of this fat is degraded giving rise to a number of stem cells, which are believed to be responsible for the rejuvenating changes of the skin, causing the formation of new collagen that literally stretches the skin and improves its wrinkled and fine appearance.
The technique is relatively simple, it is performed on an outpatient basis, fat is obtained from any part of the patient's body through a liposuction technique, this is processed to keep only the fat and eliminate water and blood, then through small incisions These are done with a thick needle on the back of the hand, the fat is infiltrated with a fine cannula, covering the entire area of the back of the hand, the fingers and even a little above the wrist.
Then, with massages, this fat is homogenized so that it is distributed evenly throughout the hand. After the procedure, the hands swell and little by little, as they deflate, the skin changes, producing an appearance of young and attractive hands.
