Hand Rejuvenation
Hand rejuvenation is a procedure in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine aimed at improving the appearance of the hands and restoring youthful skin. With age, the skin on the hands can lose its elasticity, become thin, and make veins and tendons more visible. Rejuvenation procedures aim to restore the natural volume of the hands, improve the texture of the skin, and reduce visible wrinkles.
Main Methods
- Lipofilling – This process involves taking fat from another part of the patient’s body (for example, the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it under the skin of the hands to restore volume. It is a more natural method since the patient’s own fat is used, avoiding synthetic materials.
- Fillers – Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are used to reduce the visibility of veins and tendons. These fillers work by injecting a gel-like substance that moisturizes and plumps the skin.
- Laser Therapy – CO2 laser resurfacing and RF (radiofrequency) microneedling are used to improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and eliminate fine wrinkles. This is a non-surgical method that provides quick results.
Who Can Undergo These Procedures?
Hand rejuvenation procedures are primarily chosen by individuals whose skin has lost elasticity, has developed wrinkles, or where veins and tendons have become visible. It is often applied to people over the age of 40, but it can also be performed on younger patients, depending on the condition of their skin.
Recovery
The recovery process varies with each procedure. For example, after lipofilling, patients need to avoid physical activity for some time, while with laser therapy, results can be visible within a few days. It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions and use appropriate skincare products.
Hand rejuvenation is an effective solution for those who want to restore the youthful appearance of their hands, achieving smoother, fuller, and healthier-looking skin.
