Profhilo & Dermal Fillers for Wrinkly Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the few places on the body that actually loses fat as we age, is the backs of the hands. As we age our hands lose their firmness and volume, causing the veins and tendons to become more prominent. The skin on the hands is naturally thin and with continued exposure to the elements causes the skin to get thinner, drier and rougher.

Our hands are one of the first areas that tend to show signs of ageing, more so than other parts of the body. The hands, face and neck are the most visible areas of the body as they aren't usually covered with clothing. The sun, wind and rain, over the years, can cause our hands to become scaly, and sun-damage will cause wrinkles and visible veins, which makes them look older than they actually are. Over time our hands lose volume, fat and elasticity and become translucent and wrinkly and this results in the veins, tendons and bony structures becoming more obvious.

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:
  • Age / Sun spots - We get pigmentation spots on the hands after years of exposure to the sun, and without intervention they will multiply, remember to always apply sun screen into your hands.
  • Prominent veins - The loss of volume will leave the hands thinner and bony, and this will make the veins more prominent.
  • Dry skin - As with the face, a dry, dull complexion will make your hands look older than they are, so putting on an emollient-rich hand cream will help to improve the skin.
  • Crinkly skin - As we age, the body produces less collagen and when the hands lose collagen, the skin on the hands gets thinner and they start to look dry and crumpled.
Exposure to the sun can quickly age your hands, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Both dermal filler and Profhilo treatment can help.

Profhilo is an anti wrinkle injectable treatment that can work on many parts of the body. It's an injectable that's made from hyaluronic acid and is perfect for addressing areas where wrinkles are evident, as it stimulates the area to produce more collagen. We inject Profhilo superficially into the skin on the back of the hands at specific points called BAP (bio-active points)

Before and after dermal filler injections

Dermal fillers will restore lost volume and plump up bony hands, making prominent veins look less obvious. The dermal fillers are delicately inserted with very fine needles after applying topical anaesthetic to numb the injection area. The quality and texture of your skin improves with dermal filler treatment and decreases wrinkles and prominent veins.

Dermal Filler to Treat Dark Circles, Eye Bags & Tear Troughs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's the eyes that first catch another person’s attention, and this can concern a lot of men and women if they have sunken eyes, dark circles or bags under the eyes. Your eyes can tell a lot about you; your age, emotion, or your health.

Dermal filler to correct dark circles and tear troughs
  • Loss of volume around the eye area exposes the orbital bone, resulting in a hollowed appearance beneath the eyes
  • Changes in the skin's colour or pigmentation are common among those of African or Asian descent causing dark circles under the eyes
  • Eye bags and dark circles can also be genetic, and there's a high chance that you could develop it as well if, some of your family have them too
  • Sun exposure can produce excess melanin which can also contribute to the darkening around the eye area
  • Dark under eye circles can also be caused by allergic reactions.
  • A hectic social life, with late night outs, excess alcohol or smoking, can all temporarily darken the eye area
As we grow older we notice certain changes, and one that is commonly commented on, is the dark circles under the lower eyelids which can make you look tired and older than you really are, and it only gets worse as time goes on. The skin loses some of its volume and elasticity and the decrease of collagen production and elastin causes it to becomes thinner, and the loss of fatty tissues can cause a hollow or sunken appearance. The skin around the eyes is very thin and as we age it has a tendency to develop dark circles, eye bags and under eye hollows. The eye bag or tear trough is the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek, caused by a loss of volume around eye area which exposes the orbital bone.

Dermal filler treatment for tear troughs

If you're looking for a quick fix, then make-up is the easiest option, helping to camouflage the areas that give you concern. Concealer, foundation and tinted moisturisers can help to cover up any dark areas and shadows temporarily, but they won't remedy the problem. Injectable treatments can improve sunken eyes and under eye circles, using dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers will help to visibly reduce the fine lines and creases around the eyes. With sunken eyes, dermal filler not only fills in that hollow area, but it also helps to increase collagen production. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic all the dermal fillers used are non-animal based, and are extremely safe. The filler gets injected into the deeper layers of skin, and over the following weeks will cause rehydration of the skin and underlying tissues, improving and rejuvenating your face.
