Nearly eight million women and men had BOTOX® treatments in 2018, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, making it the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment by far.

The Surprising Secret to Looking Younger? Hand Rejuvenation

When most of us think of the most visible signs of aging, we think about the changes that take place on the face — lines, wrinkles, and folds primarily caused by sun damage and loss of volume as we get older.

Though there are many nonsurgical procedures that restore some vibrance and volume to aging skin, their effects are limited. In some cases, there may come a point where additional treatments give unnatural results, the look of “having work done” that most are eager to avoid.

Dermal fillers and collagen induction can help, but these
