I have always had prominent veins on my hands, but now that I am over 70 they are really unsightly. Is there anything that can be done besides vein surgery?
Inge van Lotringen answers: Of course! As the hands lose fat and bone mass with age, the veins start to stand out, making the hands look a bit “witchy.”
If you want them to look smoother, biostimulating fillers are a really good and natural way to achieve this. Injected into the back of your hands, they replace the bulky tissues you have lost, eliminating that wrinkled look.
As your hands experience fat and bone loss with age, the veins will begin to bulge out, making your hands look a little “witchy.”
But they go one step further: they contain compounds that actively simulate the production of your own collagen during the time they remain on the skin, which can be up to 24 months.
Over time, the results will improve as the skin will rejuvenate. It will also become stronger and thicker, protecting it from any impacts that, on older skin, can so easily cause bruising.
Ellansé (for clinics, search ellanse.com/find-a-clinic/) has long been a popular biostimulating filler for this purpose, while the latest option that cosmetic doctors are praising is the injectable hybrid HArmonyCa (www.therapieclinic.com is a nationwide clinic that offers it).
For either treatment, expect to pay around £600 outside London and £1000 and up in the South East.
