If you thought fillers are only used to make your face look younger, then you’ve been missing out on a great new cosmetic procedure called hand rejuvenation with fillers. This treatment is used to combat fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and other signs of aging hands.1
Read on to learn everything you need to know about fillers for hands, including their uses, how they work, what to expect, hand rejuvenation costs, and more.
Why Get Hand Rejuvenation Fillers
Your hands are likely to be one of the first body parts to show marks of aging. This is due to multiple factors, such as frequent handwashing, sun exposure, and constant activity. Also, despite being one of the most visible parts of your body, your hands are often neglected when it comes to basic skincare like using moisturizers and sunscreens.2
Here are some of the most popular benefits of hand rejuvenation:3
- Smooths the skin texture by reducing creases, wrinkles, and fine lines
- Fixes sun damage and dark spots
- Reverses volume loss and gives the hands a fuller (instead of bony) look
- Heals old scars and marks
- Makes veins and tendons less prominent
- Gives the hands an overall youthful look
In addition, these filler treatments are quick, easy to perform, almost painless, and don’t require any downtime for healing.4
How Hand Rejuvenation Fillers Work
Hand fillers are usually made of materials like hyaluronic acid (Restylane Lyft®, Juvederm® Voluma), collagen, and calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (found in Radiesse®). These ingredients are ideally chosen to hydrate, tighten, and contour the skin of your hands. The FDA has approved Restylane Lyft and Radiesse for filler injections. Both give natural-looking results.5
Restylane Lyft® is ideal for first-timers because the effects can be reversed and last only for 6 months. Most patients also see a noticeable improvement within 3 months after a single treatment session.6
Radiesse® has longer effects, lasting for up to a year. It reverses volume loss almost immediately, boosts natural collagen production, and requires less overall maintenance.7
Make sure to consult your healthcare provider to choose the most suitable type of dermal filler for your skincare needs.
What to Expect
Injecting dermal fillers into the back of the hands is a simple outpatient procedure. It’s best to consult a certified plastic surgeon or qualified injector to ensure the procedure is done safely and effectively.8
Fillers are usually mixed with an anesthetic agent like lidocaine to minimize pain or discomfort. The entire process can take around 30 to 60 minutes.9
After injecting the fillers, there might be mild swelling or redness, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days with proper aftercare.10
Fillers Hand Rejuvenation Cost
Hand rejuvenation costs vary depending on the treatment location, skin concern, and type of treatment. For example, hand fillers in combination with laser and other rejuvenating treatments can cost around $1,000 to $3,000.
Injectable fillers such as Restylane®, Radiesse®, and Juvederm® cost approximately $1,200. These can be combined with other treatments like chemical peels and laser treatments for optimal results. However, this can make the overall hand rejuvenation treatment costs shoot up to $5,000.
