How does hand rejuvenation work?
As hands age, they lose fat and the skin thins, so veins, tendons and bones show more, while years of sun add spots. Filler placed under the skin puts back that lost cushion straight away. The US FDA has approved dermal fillers for the backs of the hands.
For the skin itself, your doctor can add PRGF, made from your own blood and often given with microneedling, to refresh thin skin, plus a picosecond laser or chemical peel to fade age spots. Most plans combine two or three, and reviews show they work safely together, often for better results.
Who shouldn’t have hand rejuvenation?
It isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection, eczema flare or open cuts on the hands, or with joint, tendon or blood-vessel disease affecting the hand. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Hand rejuvenation, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your hands and plans which treatments you need.
- Preparation: the skin is cleansed; numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- Treatment: filler, PRGF, laser or peel, taking 20–45 minutes.
- Course: fillers usually take one visit; skin treatments need a short course.
- Top-up: about every 6–12 months, depending on the treatment.
Results and recovery
Fillers make a difference straight away, and veins and tendons fade into the background once swelling settles. Skin treatments smooth and brighten over a few weeks. In a 12-month trial, most people treated with a hand filler kept their improvement for the whole year.
The backs of the hands can swell or feel stiff for a few days after fillers, and small bruises are common. Peels and lasers can leave mild redness or flaking for a few days.
Aftercare
- No gym or heavy lifting for 24–48 hours
- Keep your hands raised to ease swelling
- Wear gloves for cleaning and washing up
- Wear sunscreen on your hands every day
