The hands are far more noticeable than most patients realize. They are part of how every person expresses themselves while communicating, often adorned with jewelry, watches, or other accessories that draw attention directly to the skin and contour. Unfortunately, the hands are also the most consistently exposed part of the body — to UV rays, harsh cleaners, kitchen heat, weather, and accidental injuries — and they often show age earlier and more dramatically than the face. With time, the skin becomes thinner, fat volume is lost, and bones and veins become more pronounced through the back of the hand. For Thousand Oaks-area patients whose hands have begun to look older than they feel, cosmetic hand rejuvenation offers genuine, durable solutions that restore a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Anastasatos performs hand rejuvenation with the most directly relevant academic credential possible: he completed a fellowship in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery and Microsurgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — formal subspecialty training in the deep anatomy and surgical technique of the hand that few cosmetic plastic surgeons possess. Dr. Anastasatos was profiled by the Beverly Hills Courier in a feature titled “Anastasatos turns Body Restoration into art form,” reflecting his reputation for refined aesthetic surgical results. With over two decades of facial and hand surgical expertise in Beverly Hills since 2007, he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World. Thousand Oaks-area patients travel to the Beverly Hills clinic for hand rejuvenation performed with the depth of training this anatomically intricate procedure specifically rewards.

Scar and Reconstructive Hand Surgery

Injuries can impact the function and form of the hands. While orthopedic treatments restore function, cosmetic hand surgery and treatments can improve the appearance of the hands. Scar removal treatments and hand reconstruction surgery can improve the appearance of the hands after a burn or other injuries. Dr. Anastasatos offers Thousand Oaks patients advanced procedures to improve the appearance of fingers and hands after unfortunate injuries.

Aging Hand Treatments

Bony hands with age spots, thin skin and pronounced veins can make you appear older. If your hands look older than your face, there are cosmetic treatments to address the signs of aging on your hands. It starts with the skin. Loss of collagen in the skin causes the hands to become wrinkled with thin, crepey skin. To improve the appearance of the skin on the hands, a few different treatments can be used. These include:

• Laser or IPL treatments to remove age or sunspots
• Chemical peels can help smooth and even the skin tone
• Collagen-inducing treatments can minimize scarring and improve skin elasticity
• Exfoliation and moisturizing help improve skin health
• Dermal filler injections add youthful volume under the skin

Like the face, the skin on the hands can be rejuvenated to look years younger with the right cosmetic treatments. Many of the same treatments that help your face look more youthful are beneficial for your hands. If you live in the Thousand Oaks area and want to find out the best cosmetic hand treatment option for you, schedule a consultation with our hand rejuvenation expert Dr. John Anastasatos.

Fat Transfer for Bony, Veiny Hands

One of the biggest complaints about the hands is that they seem bony or veiny as they age. The thinner skin, lost fat, enlarged joints and prominent tendons exaggerate the veins and bones. One permanent treatment that can be used to soften the appearance of the hands is a fat transfer. Fat is harvested from other areas of the body and transferred under the skin. This adds volume to soften the outline of bones, tendons and veins for more youthful hands. Dr. John Anastasatos offers Thousand Oaks patients advanced hand rejuvenation procedures, including fat transfer, at his clinic in Beverly Hills, CA.

Combining skin treatments with fat transfer or dermal filler injections can have a dramatic effect on the appearance of the hands. For those who have made the effort to keep their face and body looking youthful, aged hands can look out of place. With cosmetic hand surgery and other treatments, you can ensure your hands match the youthful appearance you prefer.
