Hand Rejuvenation: Five Cosmetic Procedures to Achieve Youthful Hands

As we age, the hands are often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, with visible veins, loss of volume and wrinkles becoming more prominent. Hand rejuvenation is a specialized area of cosmetic procedures aimed at restoring a youthful appearance to the hands, enhancing volume, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and prominent veins. Here are five cosmetic procedures Los Angeles Plastic Surgery offers to achieve youthful hands.

1. Radiesse Injections

Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected into the hands, Radiesse provides immediate volume enhancement, filling in wrinkles and creases and restoring lost volume. Additionally, Radiesse stimulates collagen production, leading to long-lasting results. The treatment is quick, with minimal downtime, and can effectively rejuvenate the hands for a more youthful appearance.

2. Fat Grafting

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, involves harvesting fat from one area of the body (typically the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into the hands to restore volume. Fat grafting is a natural and long-lasting solution for hand rejuvenation, as the body’s own fat cells are used to enhance volume and improve skin texture. The procedure can address hollowing, wrinkles, and prominent veins, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking hands.

3. Dorsal Vein Removal

Prominent dorsal veins, also known as hand veins, can contribute to an aged appearance of the hands. Dorsal vein removal is a surgical procedure that involves ligating or removing the visible veins to reduce their prominence. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can effectively improve the cosmetic appearance of the hands by reducing the visibility of veins and creating a smoother surface.

4. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that use a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layer of skin, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath. When applied to the hands, chemical peels can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and diminish age spots and sun damage. Chemical peels stimulate collagen production and cell turnover, resulting in brighter, more youthful hands with improved tone and texture.

5. Hand Wrinkle Reduction Surgery

Hand wrinkle reduction surgery, also known as hand lift surgery or hand rejuvenation surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin on the hands. The procedure may involve skin tightening techniques, such as excising excess skin with small incisions to create smoother, tighter skin on the fingers, knuckles and back of the hand. Hand rejuvenation surgery can effectively restore a more youthful contour to the hands and improve overall hand aesthetics.
