Restore a more youthful, vibrant appearance to the back of your hands by addressing volume loss, skin texture, and pigmentation. Dr. David Morwood, our board-certified plastic surgeon and an expert in hand rejuvenation as cited by NewBeauty Magazine, offers hand rejuvenation using injectables for re-volumization and chemical peels to improve skin quality, all within a custom-designed approach focused on natural-looking results and realistic expectations.
Restore Youthful Volume to the Hands
Hand rejuvenation is a custom-designed approach to improving the appearance of the back of your hands by restoring volume and improving skin quality. Over time, the hands can develop thinning skin, prominent veins, and changes in skin texture and pigmentation. In Dr. Morwood’s practice, this is commonly addressed with fillers, such as calcium-based Radiesse, to provide needed volume, along with chemical peels to enhance overall skin texture and quality.
Hand Rejuvenation Treats:
- Loss of volume on the back of the hands
- Thinning tissue and visible tendons
- Prominent veins due to volume loss
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Dull, dry skin lacking a healthy glow
- Early signs of aging affecting the hands
Hand Rejuvenation Techniques Offered by Dr. Morwood
Injectables
Injectables are among the most common ways to restore lost volume in the back of your hands. In Dr. Morwood’s practice, we use Radiesse, a calcium-based filler, for revolumization, providing needed volume and improving contour. The filler is carefully injected beneath the skin to support thinning tissue and soften the appearance of prominent veins and tendons.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are used to improve skin texture and enhance the overall quality of the skin on your hands. We use less-invasive chemical peels, such as TCA at concentrations below 20%, glycolic acid, and other fruit acid peels, to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, stimulate the germinal matrix to generate new cells, and restore a healthy, vibrant glow.
Hand Rejuvenation FAQs
What Causes the Hands to Look Aged Over Time?
As you age, the back of your hands can lose volume and develop thinning tissue. This can make the veins and tendons more prominent. In addition, exposure to sun, wind, and environmental elements can affect skin texture and pigmentation.
Will I Need More Than One Treatment?
In many cases, achieving the best result may involve a series of treatments. Chemical peels, for example, are often performed over time to gradually improve skin quality. Your treatment plan is based on your specific indications and desired outcome.
What Is the Downtime After Hand Rejuvenation Treatments?
Most treatments used for the hands are minimally invasive. You may experience some swelling or bruising after injectables, and mild peeling after chemical peels. These effects are typically temporary and do not require significant limitation in your daily activities.
Are These Treatments as Effective as Surgery?
Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments offer a very favorable benefit-to-risk ratio with little downside. However, they are not as powerful as surgery. They are best suited for improving volume and skin quality rather than addressing advanced structural concerns.
