Hand Rejuvenation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid placed across the backs of the hands to restore lost volume and reduce the prominence of tendons and veins that makes ageing hands look bony and thin. By replacing some of the cushioning the skin loses over time, the treatment is associated with smoother, plumper-looking hands. It is performed by the physician and is a popular complement to facial rejuvenation.

The backs of the hands are one of the first areas to show ageing: the skin thins and loses its underlying fat, so the tendons, knuckles and veins beneath become more prominent and the hands can look bony and aged even when the face is well maintained. Injecting hyaluronic acid into this layer restores some of the lost volume, smoothing the surface and reducing the visibility of the underlying structures for a softer, more youthful appearance. At Klinika dr Grażyny Bem the gel is distributed across the back of each hand, typically using a blunt cannula and gentle massage to spread it evenly over the tendons. The treatment takes around thirty to forty-five minutes and downtime is usually limited to mild swelling or tenderness for a day or two. Results are visible straight away and settle over one to two weeks, and because the hands are less mobile than the face the correction tends to last well — often around a year. Hand rejuvenation pairs naturally with facial treatments for patients who want a consistent result, and the volume can be dissolved if adjustment is ever needed. It suits adults bothered by thin, bony-looking hands with prominent veins and tendons; the price reflects the amount of product required, and suitability is confirmed at a medical consultation.
