Restore the Youth of Your Hands with Hand Aesthetic Surgery in Turkey

Introduction

The hands are among the most expressive parts of the body when it comes to age and vitality.

All these factors can affect the appearance of the hands and make their owner feel insecure.

Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers effective solutions to restore the youth and vitality of the hands, and Turkey, especially the “Health & Beauty Turkey” center, is a world-leading destination in this field.

Medical Background of Hand Aesthetics: Understanding the Causes and Factors

The hands are exposed to many factors that contribute to the appearance of aging signs, in addition to genetic factors. Understanding these factors helps in determining the best treatment strategies:

• Sun Exposure (UV Rays): Direct exposure to the sun without adequate protection is the primary cause of dark spots (sunspots or age spots), loss of skin elasticity, and the appearance of fine wrinkles.
• Age and Natural Aging: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, which are the proteins responsible for skin elasticity and youth. This leads to thinning skin, loss of volume, and protrusion of veins and arteries underneath the skin.
• Genetic Factors: Genetics play a role in how quickly aging signs appear on the skin, including the hands.
• Lifestyle Factors:
  • Smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, affecting its ability to regenerate and repair itself, and accelerates wrinkle formation.
  • Dietary Habits: A lack of essential vitamins and minerals can negatively affect skin health.
  • Chemical Exposure: Frequent handling of harsh cleaners and chemicals without wearing gloves can cause skin dryness, cracking, and irritation.
  • Manual Physical Activities: Certain professions or hobbies that require intensive use of the hands may lead to rough skin and changes in appearance.
• Sudden Weight Loss: Significant and rapid weight loss may lead to a loss of subcutaneous fat in various areas of the body, including the hands, giving them a thin and sagging appearance.

Symptoms and Signs that Require Hand Aesthetics:

• Deep Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The skin appears wrinkled and sagging.
• Dark or Brown Spots (Sun Spots): They appear on the skin surface due to excessive sun exposure.
• Loss of Volume and Fullness: The hands become thin, prominently displaying veins and bones.
• Protruding Veins and Arteries: These veins and arteries may appear swollen or very noticeable under the thin skin.
• Skin Dryness and Peeling: Lack of skin freshness and a dull appearance.
• Loss of Skin Elasticity: When pinching the skin, it does not return to its normal position quickly.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis of issues requiring hand aesthetics usually relies on a thorough clinical examination by a specialist doctor. The doctor evaluates the skin quality, presence of wrinkles, spots, and how pronounced the veins are, in addition to discussing the patient’s goals and expectations.

In some cases, additional tests may be requested to ensure no other health issues may affect the procedure or recovery.

Latest Research Developments in Hand Aesthetics:

The field of hand aesthetics is witnessing continuous advancements, with recent research focusing on:

• Injectable Filler Techniques: Developing new formulations of hyaluronic acid and other materials that are more natural, longer-lasting, and reduce the risk of complications.
• Laser and Stem Cell Therapy: Studying the effectiveness of advanced laser applications for skin exfoliation and renewal, in addition to the potential use of stem cells for stimulating hand tissue regeneration.
• Development of Non-Surgical Procedures: Focusing on providing effective solutions with minimal surgical intervention and shorter recovery times.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Hand Aesthetic Surgery?

Hand aesthetic surgery is an excellent option for many individuals who wish to improve the appearance of their hands. In general, the ideal candidate is someone who:

• Is in good overall health.
• Has realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
• Shows signs of aging on their hands such as wrinkles, spots, volume loss, or prominent veins.
• Wishes to restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance to their hands.
• Does not have active skin diseases in the hand area that may hinder healing.

Who Are Not Candidates?

• Individuals with unstable chronic diseases (such as uncontrolled heart disease or diabetes) may not be suitable candidates for surgical procedures.
• Pregnant or nursing women.
• Individuals with a history of wound healing problems.
• Individuals who are allergic to any of the materials used in non-surgical procedures.
• Individuals with unrealistic expectations or seeking absolute perfection.

Our specialist doctor at “Health & Beauty Turkey” will carefully assess your individual condition to determine whether you are a suitable candidate and what is the most appropriate procedure for you.

Preparation for Hand Aesthetic Surgery: Steps Towards a Successful Experience

Good preparation is the key to achieving the best results and ensuring your safety. Before traveling to Turkey for treatment, our team at “Health & Beauty Turkey” will provide you with detailed guidance. Here are some basic steps:

• Initial Medical Consultation: You will have a detailed consultation with our specialist doctor to discuss your condition, medical history, expectations, and available procedures. The doctor will explain the details of the procedure, potential risks, and recovery time.
• Medical Tests: You may be asked to undergo some medical tests to ensure you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure. This includes standard blood tests, and other tests may be required based on your health condition.
• Lifestyle Adjustments:
  • Smoking: You should quit smoking several weeks before the procedure and after, as smoking negatively affects blood flow and the body’s ability to heal.
  • Medications: Your doctor will ask you to stop taking certain medications that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for a period before the procedure.
  • Nutrition: Ensure you maintain a healthy, balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support the healing process.
  • Sun Protection: Start using sunscreen regularly on your hands to protect the skin before the procedure.
• Travel Preparation: Our team will arrange all travel and accommodation details in Turkey, including flight and hotel bookings, and transportation to and from the airport.

Steps of Hand Aesthetic Surgery: From Consultation to Recovery

1. Before the Procedure:

• Final Examination and Consultation: On the day of the procedure, your doctor will conduct a final examination to ensure your condition, and the areas to be treated will be precisely determined.
• Anesthesia: Depending on the type of procedure, local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or in some cases general anesthesia may be used. Your doctor will discuss anesthesia options with you.
• Photographs: Photographs of the hands will be taken before the procedure to document the initial condition for comparison after treatment.

2. During the Procedure (Various Techniques):

There are several techniques available for hand aesthetics, differing in complexity and outcomes:

Injectable Fillers:

• Type: The most common are hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma or Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite).
• Technique: The filler material is gently injected under the skin in areas that have lost volume. This helps to “fill” the hands, reduce the appearance of prominent veins and arteries, and improve skin texture.
• Duration: The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
• Results: Immediate, and results last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of material used.
• Recovery: Very quick, with potential redness or slight swelling at the injection site.

Removal of Dark Spots (Sun Spots):

• Techniques:
  • Laser: Various laser devices (such as IPL or carbon laser) are used to target and remove excess pigmented cells in dark spots.
  • Chemical Peeling: Gentle chemical solutions are used to remove the top layers of the skin, helping to get rid of spots and rejuvenate skin cells.
  • Mesotherapy: Injection of a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help lighten the skin and even its tone.
• Technique: The treatment is applied to the dark spots.
• Results: Gradually appear over weeks and may require several sessions.
• Recovery: Depends on the technique used, and may involve temporary redness or slight peeling.

Skin Rejuvenation and Wrinkle Reduction:

• Techniques:
  • Laser: Both ablative and non-ablative laser techniques are used to remove dead outer skin layers and stimulate new collagen production, reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture.
  • Deep Peeling: A chemical peel using stronger acids to remove deeper layers of skin.
  • Microneedling: Using a device equipped with very fine needles to create tiny holes in the skin, stimulating the natural healing process and collagen production.
• Technique: The entire surface of the skin is treated.
• Results: Gradually improve with stimulated collagen production, with final results taking several months.
• Recovery: Requires a recovery period of days to weeks, depending on the depth of treatment, with possible redness, swelling, and peeling.

Treating Prominent Veins (Non-Surgical):

Techniques such as sclerotherapy may be used to reduce small veins, or laser may be used to eliminate certain superficial veins.

Skin Tightening and Sagging:

In cases of visible sagging, techniques such as RF Microneedling may be employed to significantly stimulate collagen and elastin production, or even surgery in very rare cases.

3. After the Procedure:

• Immediate Care: Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions for caring for your hands post-procedure, which may involve applying cold compresses, avoiding hand strain, and using moisturizing creams.
• Medications: Your doctor may prescribe some medications, such as pain relievers if necessary, or preventive antibiotics.
• Medical Follow-up: Follow-up appointments will be scheduled with your doctor to ensure everything is going well and to assess initial results.

Recovery Period:

• Stages: The recovery period varies greatly depending on the procedure.
  • Non-Surgical Procedures: Recovery time is often very short, with patients able to return to daily activities on the same day or after one day. They may notice slight redness or swelling or localized bruising that disappears within a few days.
  • Procedures Involving Deep Peeling or Laser: May require a slightly longer recovery period (days to weeks) accompanied by peeling, redness, and skin sensitivity.
• Restrictions:
  • Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight and always use sunscreen.
  • Avoid using harsh cleansers or chemicals.
  • You may be asked to wear gloves when doing housework.
  • Avoid activities that exert significant strain on the hands during the initial period.
• When do results appear?
  • Injections: Results are almost immediate.
  • Dark Spot Removal: Results begin to show after a few weeks and continue to improve.
  • Rejuvenation and Tightening: These procedures take longer as they depend on stimulating collagen production, and final results may take several months.

• Procedures requiring deeper peeling or intensive skin renewal: The cost may be slightly higher, ranging approximately from $250 to $600 per session, depending on the technique used.

It is important to note: these prices are just average estimates.
