Hands That Match My Face: Hand Rejuvenation Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe hand rejuvenation. Writers describe the hands that gave them away — prominent veins and tendons, thinning skin, sun spots from decades of driving, surfing or gardening, dark knuckles, and the wear of jobs that wash, cook, sew or fly all day — often noticed only after the face had been looked after and the hands had not. There is the careful start: a skin check first, during which one writer had a suspicious spot found, eczema treated before anything cosmetic, and questions about whether filler would stiffen the fingers. Writers describe the treatments in detail: hyaluronic acid and calcium-based fillers massaged across the back of the hand, five days of swelling, a bruise before a holiday, freezing and laser for pigmentation, a peel that left skin shedding for a week. Softer-looking veins and fewer spots were reported most consistently, with results generally modest; lumps, overfilling, the particular pigment risks for darker skin, and what simply could not be fixed are all here. Later chapters cover a surgeon and a GP reading the studies, treatment at eighty, saving up, cultures where it is routine, and one writer who decided to keep the veins.

Who it's for

For anyone whose hands look older than their face, people weighing filler against lasers and peels, readers with darker skin who want to hear about pigment risks first, and practitioners curious how patients judge results.
