In this exhaustive interview with Dr. Alexander Rivkin, a cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles, Calif., Stuart Brazell looks at Radiesse for Hands from Merz Aesthetics (Raleigh, N.C.), the first and only dermal filler FDA approved to restore volume in the hands. Dr. Rivkin outlines how proper injection of Radiesse for Hands instantly restores lost volume to the dorsum, or back of the hand, which can help reduce the prominence of tendons and veins. In addition to explaining how this quick and painless procedure continues to work for as long as one year by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen, Dr. Rivkin performs a live patient consultation and displays before and after pictures of that patient’s treatment.
