Hand Rejuvenation in Westchester, NY

The hands are one of the most telling signs of a person’s real age. As we grow older, our hands develop certain signs of aging. This can include wrinkles, loose skin, visible veins, and dark spots. If you’re starting to feel self-conscious about how your hands look, it might be time to consider hand rejuvenation.

What Is Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation is the process of restoring a youthful, full appearance to the hands. The process offers both surgical and non-surgical options. After a consultation with your cosmetic surgeon, they will advise which method is best for you. Some of the different options include laser treatment, vein treatment, injectable fillers, and fat grafting.

Am I a Candidate for Hand Rejuvenation?

Any individual who is embarrassed or unsatisfied with their hands’ appearance is a good candidate for hand rejuvenation.

The non-surgical treatments are less invasive and may be the preferred method for individuals that are not in prime health.

How Is Hand Rejuvenation Performed?

Your hand rejuvenation procedure will depend on which method you choose. Patients with multiple concerns (for example, having dark spots and thinning hands) may want to consider a combination of hand rejuvenation treatments.

Laser treatment: As a non-surgical option, laser treatments use a high-power laser to reduce or remove dark spots on the hands.

Vein treatment: Sclerotherapy is the non-surgical process of injecting a solution (Asclera®) into the veins to lessen their appearance.

Injectable fillers: Fillers restore the youthful appearance of your hands by giving them volume and reducing the appearance of thin, bony hands. This option is non-invasive and will likely require follow-up injections.

Fat grafting: Fat grafting is a more permanent solution than injectable fillers. This process takes fat cells from unwanted areas in the body (through liposuction) and relocates them to the hands.

What Is Hand Rejuvenation Recovery Like?

Your recovery process will depend on which hand rejuvenation treatment you chose. Most of the non-surgical options allow patients to return to their normal activities within one to two days. The surgical options (fat grafting) will have a slightly more extended recovery period. You can talk to your cosmetic surgeon about how much recovery time you can expect.

Depending on your treatment, your hands may be sore and you may have difficulty moving them initially. It would be beneficial to arrange for help with everyday activities for a day or so.

What Results Can I Expect From Hand Rejuvenation?

Many hand rejuvenation treatments, such as fat grafting and injectable fillers, show immediate results. You will leave the office and already see an improvement in your hands. Other options, such as the laser treatment and sclerotherapy, may take some time for results to show.

Many of the non-surgical treatment options are not permanent, so they may require follow up procedures.
