At GreeneMD, patients find that there is almost no discomfort during treatment. We have a pharmacy customized compound numbing cream for our patients. We apply the topical numbing cream to the hands 10-15 minutes prior to your procedure. There is also pre-mixed lidocaine with the filler to enhance patient comfort.

Results are immediate and can last up to 1 year, or even longer in some patients.

The most common side effects are temporary bruising, swelling, and tenderness that can last up to 1-2 weeks. We instruct patients to limit strenuous physical activity that involves their hands for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Avoiding certain medications and supplements, such as baby aspirin and fish oil, can minimize bruising.

Yes, we often combine hand filler with other cosmetic hand treatments to achieve optimal results. Another popular treatment to reverse signs of aging of the hands is IPL photofacial to remove brown spots and sun damage.

Hand rejuvenation treatments aim to restore a more youthful appearance to the hands. As we age, our hands can show signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, volume loss, and pigmentation irregularities. At GreeneMD, our signature hand rejuvenation treatment combines Hyaluronic Acid filler to the dorsal hand along with IPL treatment for complete rejuvenation. These treatments work to improve skin texture, restore volume, and reduce the visibility of age spots or sun damage.

Hand rejuvenation treatments work by targeting the underlying causes of aging in the skin. For instance, dermal fillers such as Restylane Lyft, can be injected into the hands to restore lost volume, making veins and tendons less prominent. Laser treatments, such as IPL, utilize focused light to stimulate collagen production and remove sun damage, improving overall skin tone and removing unwanted brown spots. These treatments can be performed separately or together for full correction and rejuvenation.

Most individuals looking to improve the appearance of their hands are suitable candidates for hand rejuvenation treatments. Ideal candidates typically have visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, volume loss, or age spots. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if hand rejuvenation is appropriate based on your specific skin type. Individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant may require special consideration before undergoing treatment.

The benefits of hand rejuvenation extend beyond just aesthetic improvements. Treatments can significantly reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while enhancing the overall texture and tone of the skin on the hands. Many patients report increased self-confidence after undergoing these procedures, as revitalized hands can contribute to a more youthful appearance overall. Additionally, non-invasive options typically involve minimal downtime, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities quickly.

The longevity of results from hand rejuvenation treatments varies depending on the specific procedure used and individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle. For instance, results from dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to one year, while laser treatments may require maintenance sessions every six months to a year for optimal results. Patients should discuss their goals and expectations with their provider during the consultation to better understand how long they can expect their results to last.
