Hand Rejuvenation NYC

While many people focus on rejuvenating their face, their hands can often reveal signs of aging just as prominently. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a comprehensive hand rejuvenation treatment plan that targets volume loss, texture issues, and pigmentation concerns to restore youthful, smooth, and natural-looking hands.

Why Do Hands Show Signs of Aging?

As we age, the skin on our hands loses volume, elasticity, and firmness, which leads to a more wrinkled and bony appearance. Over time, hands also develop sun spots, prominent veins, and tendons due to natural aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors. These changes can make your hands appear older than you feel, which is why addressing hand rejuvenation is key to maintaining an overall youthful appearance.

Common Cosmetic Concerns with Aging Hands

Thin, wrinkled skin
Prominent veins and tendons
Sun spots, brown and red pigmentation
Bony appearance
Fine lines and rough texture

Dermal Fillers for Hand Volume Restoration

Dermal fillers such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, Radiesse®, and Belotero® are ideal for restoring lost volume in the hands, plumping up the skin, and reducing the appearance of veins and tendons.

These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, both of which encourage collagen production for long-term skin improvement.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Hand Rejuvenation

Immediate volume restoration
Reduction of visible veins and tendons
Smooth and youthful skin
Long-lasting results (typically 5-6 months)

Treatment Process for Fillers

Dr. Leong will carefully inject dermal fillers into targeted areas of the hands to replenish lost volume and enhance skin smoothness. The procedure takes about 15-45 minutes, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately after.

Laser and IPL Treatments for Skin Texture and Pigmentation

In addition to volume loss, the hands are often affected by pigmentation issues such as sun spots, fine lines, and rough skin texture. Dr. Leong uses advanced laser technology and IPL treatments to address these concerns.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for Pigmentation

IPL treatments, like those done with the Palomar StarLux 500, effectively treat brown spots, red patches, and age-related pigmentation changes on the hands.

This laser technology targets dark pigmentation, breaking down the spots, which then flake off over time, leaving behind clearer and rejuvenated skin.

What to Expect After IPL Treatment

Temporary Redness: Mild redness or swelling can occur but resolves quickly.
Pigment Darkening: Treated spots may darken before flaking off within 1-2 weeks.
Sun Avoidance: It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen after treatment to protect the skin.

Most patients require 2-3 IPL sessions spaced a month apart for optimal results, depending on the severity of their pigmentation.

Cortex CO2 Erbium Yag Laser for Skin Resurfacing

For more severe texture issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, Dr. Leong offers Cortex CO2 Erbium Yag Laser treatments. This laser technology resurfaces the skin, removing damaged layers and encouraging the growth of healthy, new skin.

Key Benefits of CO2 Laser Treatment

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin texture
Enhances the overall appearance of aging hands

Most patients need just one session with the CO2 Erbium Yag Laser, although results can be maintained with annual treatments. The procedure is safe and effective, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort due to the numbing cream applied before treatment.

Combining Treatments for Optimal Hand Rejuvenation

To achieve the best results, Dr. Leong may recommend a combination of dermal fillers and laser or IPL treatments. This dual approach addresses both volume loss and surface imperfections like pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles, offering a more comprehensive hand rejuvenation solution.

Why Consider Combined Treatments?

Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Addresses multiple signs of aging for a more youthful, balanced appearance.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Dr. Leong will customize the approach based on your specific concerns.
Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy smoother, plumper, and more youthful-looking hands.

Hand Rejuvenation FAQ

Is hand rejuvenation treatment painful?

Most patients find hand rejuvenation treatments very tolerable. Dr. Leong applies a numbing cream before both filler injections and laser treatments to minimize discomfort.

How long does recovery take?

You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, although you may experience mild swelling, redness, or darkening of treated spots. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of treatments depends on your individual goals. Most patients need 2-3 IPL sessions for pigmentation and one session for laser resurfacing. Dermal fillers typically last 5-6 months before a touch-up is needed.
