Hands Rejuvenation with Dermal Fillers

Benefits

• Restores fullness in areas where soft tissue has diminished.
• Reduces visibility of veins, tendons, and bone contours.
• Improves skin texture and suppleness for a rejuvenated appearance.
• Quick results that are visible immediately after treatment.
• Low recovery time – most patients resume normal activities the same day.
• Longer-lasting outcome compared to superficial treatments.

Consultation & assessment

Your clinician examines the hands, skin thickness, and vascular anatomy. We discuss your goals, medical history, and which filler types are suitable.

Preparation

The treatment area is cleansed and prepped. A topical numbing agent or local anaesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort.

Filler placement

Using fine needles or cannulas, filler material is carefully injected into the soft tissues of the dorsum (back) of the hands. The clinician layers the product gradually, sculpting to soften depressions and balance contours.

Moulding & smoothing

After injection, we gently massage and shape the filler to ensure it settles evenly and naturally.

Review & adjustment

We inspect symmetry, texture, and fullness. Minor corrections can be made immediately. You leave with a clearer view of the result.

A complete session generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many hands or zones are treated.

Aftercare

To support smooth healing and optimal results, follow these aftercare guidelines:

• Avoid massaging or applying pressure on the treated area for at least 12 hours.
• Refrain from strenuous hand activity such as heavy lifting for the first 24 hours.
• Use cold compresses gently to ease swelling or bruising.
• Keep your hands elevated when resting, if possible, to reduce swelling.
• Avoid intense heat exposure like hot baths or saunas for 48 hours.
• Refrain from alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for one day to reduce bruising risk.
• Avoid harsh skincare or aggressive treatments on the hands for one week.

Most mild swelling or bruising resolves in a few days. If you notice lumps, prolonged discomfort, or unevenness, contact us immediately.

Good candidates are those who:

• Are generally healthy with no active infections or healing issues.
• Seek volumising or smoothing to rejuvenate the appearance of ageing hands.
• Understand non-surgical treatments and have realistic expectations about outcomes and maintenance.

You may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have an active skin infection or inflammation in the hands.
• Have severe autoimmune or connective tissue disorders.
• Are taking certain blood-thinning medications (subject to medical assessment).

We assess all relevant health details during your consultation to ensure safety and suitability.

Alternatives & Complementary Options

• Topical moisturisers and retinoids — improve hydration and surface texture.
• Laser or IPL treatments — help even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation.
• Fat transfer — uses your own fat to restore lost volume (a more invasive option).
• Skin tightening or densifying devices — such as radiofrequency or ultrasound treatments.
• Combination therapy — using fillers for volume alongside laser or resurfacing for texture refinement.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss which approach (or combination) is best for your hands and aesthetic goals.
