Hand Aesthetics

Procedure Details

What Is Hand Aesthetics?

Hand aesthetics refers to a group of non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures designed to improve the appearance of aging hands. 

Common concerns that are addressed with these procedures include:

• Wrinkles

• Age spots

• Loss of subcutaneous fat

• Prominent veins

Hand aesthetics procedures aim to restore volume, improve skin quality, and create a smoother, more youthful hand appearance.

How Is Hand Aesthetics Performed?

Hand aesthetics is commonly performed usşng fat transfer or dermal filler injections. In fat transfer procedures, fat harvested from the patient’s own body is injected into the hands. This process not only restores volume but also promotes tissue regeneration due to the presence of stem cells.

As a result of the hand aesthetic procedures, the patient’s skin texture improves, visible veins become less prominent, and their hands appear fuller and healthier.

Which Techniques Are Used in Hand Aesthetics?

Depending on individual needs, several techniques can be used alone or in combination with each other, such as:

• Fat transfer

• Dermal filler (hyaluronic acid) injections

• Laser treatments

• Chemical peels
