Hand Rejuvenation

HAND REJUVENATION IN NEW ORLEANS

While most people assume age based on the appearance of our faces, our hands can also be an indicator of perceived age. Our hands are constantly exposed to the environment, and as we age, they can demonstrate changes related to the aging process, such as age spots, loss of volume, and thinning skin. Thus, rejuvenating the hands can help reverse the aging process and give your hands a more youthful appearance.

Hand rejuvenation refers to a set of cosmetic procedures that can restore the hands to a more youthful appearance. Many of the same procedures that work for the face also work on the hands. The procedures that Dr. Hendrick uses include injectables such as Juvéderm, Radiesse, Belotero, fat grafting, and laser skin resurfacing.

WHAT CAN HAND REJUVENATION ACCOMPLISH?

Hand rejuvenation can:

  • Restore lost volume that has made the hands look thin and aged
  • Fade age and sun-related spots and keratoses on the hands
  • Help the hands look more youthful

WHAT HAPPENS DURING HAND REJUVENATION?

Dr. Hendrick will examine your hands during your consultation and will listen to your concerns about their appearance. He will then choose a procedure or set of procedures to improve the look of your hands. If you have both age spots and volume loss, you may require injectables or fat grafting, as well as skin resurfacing.

In skin resurfacing, Dr. Hendrick uses the CO2 laser or fractional CO2 laser to provide a more even skin tone. Read more about skin resurfacing.

Injectables like Juvederm, Radiesse, and Belotero involve injecting a dermal filler into the hands to add volume. Click on the name of the product to read more about each filler.

Fat grafting can also add volume to the hands. This involves removing fat through liposuction from donor sites on the body such as the abdomen or hips, and then injecting it into the hands. This technique is more invasive because it involves incisions and more than one area of the body, but fat grafts last longer than injectables.

Recovery depends on the treatment you receive. While the skin of the hands takes longer to recover than the skin on the face, none of the hand rejuvenation procedures require significant downtime.

Fat grafting requires the most time, as it involves incisions for liposuction on the body. The skin will take a couple of weeks to heal after laser resurfacing, while injectables have the least post-procedure effects. In all cases, there is usually some tenderness and inflammation. With injections, there is also often some minor bruising.

The answer to this question depends on the method used for your hand rejuvenation. Dark spots that have been removed through skin resurfacing do not return, but new spots can form, especially if you do not protect your hands from the sun.

Injectables are temporary and will likely require repeat injections.

Fat grafting may be a longer-lasting solution to lost volume but is the most invasive procedure.

Hand rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure, so insurance carriers will not cover it.

    I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs. Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!

    My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve it. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!

    I was really nervous about getting a breast augmentation because I really wanted it to look natural and proportionate to my body. On my first visit/consultation Dr. Hendricks and his staff made me feel really comfortable! He truly listened to me and made me feel at ease throughout every step of the process. Very kind and personable doctor! I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about a procedure, especially if you’re looking for a natural look and a doctor who won’t pressure you otherwise! Bonus, the office is very beautiful (feels like a spa) with an incredible view of the city. Definitely check them out!
