Non-Surgical Hand Rejuvenation for Youthful Skin
Combat visible signs of aging on your hands with volume restoration, pigmentation correction, and texture improvement.
Restore Volume. Fade Spots. Renew Confidence.
When it comes to aging, we often focus on the face, but the hands are just as revealing. Everyday gestures constantly put your hands on display, and over time, volume loss, sun damage, and visible veins can make them appear older than you feel.
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we offer customized hand rejuvenation treatments to help your hands look as youthful as your face.
What Is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation is a combination of non-surgical treatments designed to improve the overall appearance of the hands. At our practice, we address the three key signs of hand aging:
- Volume loss that makes veins and tendons more visible
- Brown spots from years of sun exposure
- Textural roughness that develops over time
Our comprehensive approach allows us to smooth, plump, and brighten the skin for beautifully natural-looking results.
Treatment Options
Depending on your goals, your hand rejuvenation plan may include one or more of the following:
- Radiesse® dermal filler to restore lost volume and camouflage veins and tendons
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to fade brown spots and sun damage
- Fractionated Sublative laser treatments to improve skin texture and boost collagen production
These treatments are performed in-office with little to no downtime and can be customized to your skin tone, condition, and comfort level.
What to Expect
Your consultation begins with a careful assessment by Dr. Balikian or one of our experienced Aesthetic Injectors. We’ll design a personalized plan based on your hands’ current condition and your desired results.
Radiesse is injected beneath the skin to replace volume instantly and stimulate long-term collagen growth.
IPL and fractional lasers are used to target pigmentation and improve surface texture over a series of treatments. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Benefits of Hand Rejuvenation
Aging hands can give away your age even when your face looks refreshed. Hand rejuvenation offers targeted solutions to restore a smoother, fuller, and more youthful appearance.
- Restores youthful fullness to thinning hands

With a personalized combination of treatments, you can enjoy natural-looking improvements that make your hands look as vibrant as the rest of you.
Am I a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for hand rejuvenation if you notice:
- Your hands appear bony, veiny, or wrinkled
- Age spots or pigmentation make your hands look older than your face
- You want to improve the look of your hands without surgery
Most patients in good overall health with realistic expectations are excellent candidates. We’ll review your medical history and skin condition during your consultation to ensure your safety and satisfaction.
How Much Does Hand Rejuvenation Cost?
Because each hand rejuvenation plan is tailored to your individual needs, costs will vary based on the number and type of treatments recommended.

Hand Rejuvenation FAQs
How long do hand rejuvenation results last?
Results vary depending on the treatment used. Dermal fillers like Radiesse can last up to a year or more, while IPL and fractional laser treatments may require maintenance sessions every few months to maintain skin clarity and texture.
Is hand rejuvenation painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Topical numbing cream is typically applied prior to treatment, and Radiesse contains lidocaine for added comfort. Laser treatments may feel like a warm snapping sensation, but are well tolerated.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your skin concerns and the treatment plan. Volume loss may be corrected in one filler session, while pigmentation or texture issues may require a series of IPL or laser treatments spaced several weeks apart.
What’s the downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients can resume normal activities right away. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur for a few days, particularly after filler injections or laser treatments.
Can I combine hand rejuvenation with other treatments?
Yes. Hand rejuvenation is often combined with other aesthetic services such as facial fillers, Botox, or skin resurfacing for a more comprehensive anti-aging approach.
Who is a good candidate for hand rejuvenation?
If you notice visible volume loss, prominent veins or tendons, age spots, or thinning skin on your hands, you may be a good candidate. A consultation with our aesthetic team will help determine the right treatment plan for your goals.
Will hand rejuvenation improve my skin, or only the volume?
Both. Adding volume hides veins, tendons, and hollows, while treatments like fat grafting can also improve skin texture and reduce the look of sun damage over time. Patients often notice their hands look healthier and more radiant in addition to being fuller.
Is hand rejuvenation safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced provider. The most common side effects are mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which fade within a week. More serious complications, such as lumps or nodules, are very rare and can often be managed if they occur.
How do hand veins and tendons change with volume restoration?
Adding volume under the skin helps camouflage visible veins and tendons by plumping the soft tissue. Fillers or fat grafting smooth the transitions so hands look more youthful and less skeletal.
Does sun protection matter after hand rejuvenation?
Yes. Daily sunscreen on hands greatly helps maintain results. Sun exposure can cause pigmentation, skin thinning, and damage that counteracts treatment benefits.
What are realistic expectations based on age for hand rejuvenation?
Younger patients (40s) often see smoothing and tone improvements, less tendon visibility. Older patients (60s and above) may need more sessions, perhaps more aggressive or combination treatments, to address volume loss, pigment, and skin thinning.
Will weight changes affect my hand rejuvenation results?
Yes. Significant weight loss may reduce fullness because there’s less fat in general. Treated hands lose volume less than untreated areas, but changes occur. Stability in weight helps maintain results.
