WALNUT CREEKMost people don’t think of their hands when considering anti-aging cosmetic treatments, but the hands are one of the features that show our age most. With time, we can lose volume on the backs of our hands, which makes veins more prominent. Our hands are also exposed to the sun as much as our faces, so we develop sun damage and age spots. Dr. Robert Aycock and his team have your solution with BBL™ PhotoFacial and Radiesse® treatments, a powerful combination to turn aging hands into youthful hands.
How Does BBL™ PhotoFacial Work?
BBL stands for Broadband Light, and the BBL™ PhotoFacial is one of the best treatments for reversing sun damage, age spots, rosacea, small reddened veins, blushing, acne scarring, and other signs of aging. Customizing your treatment with different wavelengths and adaptors, BBL™ PhotoFacial can treat multiple concerns on the backs of your hands at one time. Pulses of broadband light gently heat the upper layers of your skin, where new skin cells and collagen are generated by the stimulation. Photothermal energy targets the unflattering melanin responsible for pigmented lesions. This smooths your skin and returns its pigment to a natural, even tone, so your hands look as they did in your youth. No longer will they be the body part that gives away the number of candles on your birthday cake.
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in gel, Radiesse® is a dermal filler that, when injected into hollows, deep skin folds, or wrinkles, can plump and contour the shape of your treatment area. When used on the backs of the hands, Radiesse® reduces the prominence of blood vessels which contribute to the aged look of your hands. Radiesse® smooths the backs of your hands, making them look and feel younger while simultaneously nourishing and softening the skin. Radiesse® is relatively long-lived, lasting for up to 12 months before another treatment is necessary.
Combination Treatment for Youthful Hands
By combining BBL™ PhotoFacial treatments with Radiesse® injections, your hands can be restored to their full youthful glory. While the treatments wouldn’t be performed in the same treatment sessions, as a two-step treatment package, you can reverse sun damage and volume loss, giving your hands the treatment they deserve.
There is no downtime with either BBL™ PhotoFacial treatments or Radiesse® injections. You may immediately return to your normal routine. Patients report BBL™ PhotoFacial treatments feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin, and while not entirely pleasant, it’s not incredibly painful. Radiesse® injections are as painful as any injection with dermal fillers, and as such, ice or topical anesthetic may be used to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible. With Radiesse®, you only need one treatment session that lasts just minutes, while BBL™ PhotoFacial treatments provide the best results after 2-5 sessions scheduled 3-4 weeks apart.
