Merz Aesthetics · Radiesse® for Hands
Hands age faster than the face — daily sun, water and wear thin the skin, expose veins and tendons, and leave hands looking older than the person they belong to. Hyperdilute Radiesse® restores volume, rebuilds collagen, and gives hands back their youthful smoothness in a single 30-minute session.
How hands age
As the fat pad on the back of the hand thins, veins and tendons become more visible — often the first sign clients notice.
Sun exposure and collagen loss create a papery texture. Topicals can't reach the depth needed to rebuild it.
Radiesse's skin-quality effect improves tone evenness alongside the volume restoration.
Merz Aesthetic Scale
During your consult, Karine grades your hands on the Merz 5-point Aesthetic Scale — the same grading system used in Radiesse's FDA clinical trials. Most Radiesse hand treatments are for grades 2 – 4.
Karine's Hand Protocol
Karine's protocol uses hyperdiluted CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) — the same product used on the face, diluted to spread evenly across the back of the hands for a smooth, natural finish. The gel provides immediate volume; over the following 90 days, your body responds by producing new Type I and Type III collagen and elastin. Result: hands that look like your hands, ten years younger.

Radiesse is pre-mixed with lidocaine, so most clients rate discomfort at 2 – 4/10. Topical numbing is applied 20 minutes before. Hand injections feel like a firm massage rather than a needle stick.
Immediately. You can drive, type and moisturise the same day. Karine asks you to avoid gym gripping and heavy lifting for 24 hours so the product settles evenly.
Most clients see 12 – 18 months of visible improvement; some enjoy up to 2 years. Because Radiesse rebuilds your own collagen, part of the benefit persists after the gel itself metabolises.
Yes — same Health Canada- and FDA-approved product. Karine hyperdilutes it for the hands so the CaHA microspheres spread evenly across a larger area, producing a smooth skin-quality result rather than focal volume.
