Wrinkles. The main indications for lipofilling are age-related changes of the hands skin. With age, the body fat tissue becomes thinner, the skin becomes thinner, the vessels become visible and hands become drier and ridged.

Thinning of the skin. This factor is also associated with age, the skin retains moisture worse, and its top layer, the epidermis, dies faster. Pigmentation. The synthesis of melanin occurring in the skin is broken over time, what leads to partial formations at first, but pigmentation is becoming more widespread with age.
