The gloves are off. After years of the internet shaming her hands for being veiny and crepey (while her face stays taut decade after decade), Madonna, 58, has found her fix. The secret: hand filler injections, which contain a blend of 53 vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants.
Radiance? Check. Even skin tone? Check. Elasticity and plumpness? Check and check. These are the end benefits that Filorga, one of the only hand fillers on the market, promises to its users, ages 25 to 80. In a nutshell, you’ll need five 20-minute sessions at a dermatologist’s office every two to three weeks for the best results. The price tag: $100 to $200 a pop. There are no side effects, aside from possible bruising from the injections, and no downtime is needed (according to brand spokesperson Dr. Michel Tordjman, on a scale of 1 to 10, the pain level’s about a 2). Although it’s primarily intended for hands, the injectable can also be used on different parts of the face and body.
Madonna’s been getting her injections in 2016, and while we’re intrigued and envious of her wrinkle-free hands, we’re also painfully scared of needles, which brings Us to our next point …
For a lower-cost and less-painful alternative that delivers similar results, try Filorga’s Hand-Absolute (above), an over-the-counter cream that’s chock-full of the same filler formula Madonna gets injected into her hands ($29, nordstrom.com). Plant sugars lock in moisture for 72 hours, hyaluronic acid boosts collagen production, sea lily extract inhibits dark spots, and keratin strengthens nails. You can finally say goodbye to granny hands in 30 days.
