When you think of signs of aging, what comes to mind? For some, it may be pesky wrinkles on the face, but for others, it may be frustrating loose or sagging skin. Your hands can also reveal more about your age than you want them to! However, there are a variety of hand rejuvenation treatment options to refresh the appearance of your hands. Explore your treatment options during a consultation with our team at Orchidia Medical Group in Naples, FL!
What Is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation is a type of treatment that enhances the appearance of the hands. The natural aging process can be frustrating, and it has an impact on your natural body processes. It affects the production of collagen and elastin, which can lead to issues with volume loss and skin laxity.
What Signs of Aging Can Hand Rejuvenation Treat?
Loss of Volume
As part of natural aging, the fat and collagen in your hands diminish, resulting in a hollowed or sunken appearance. Aging isn’t the only factor—weight loss and lifestyle habits, such as sun exposure, can exacerbate this change. Hand rejuvenation treatments often target this volume loss to restore a more youthful appearance.
Thin, Crepey Skin
The skin on the back of your hands is naturally thin, but as collagen and elastin break down with age, it becomes even thinner. This leads to a crepey texture, where the skin appears wrinkled and fragile, similar to tissue paper. Repeated exposure to UV rays accelerates collagen loss. Hand rejuvenation can stimulate collagen production to improve skin thickness and resilience.
Prominent Veins and Tendons
The loss of volume in the hands can cause veins and tendons to be more visible. Prominent veins and tendons can create an aged appearance, even if the skin itself remains smooth. Treatments aimed at restoring volume can also minimize the appearance of these structures.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines on the hands form because of repetitive movements, collagen breakdown, and reduced skin hydration. Unlike facial wrinkles, which are often a primary focus of anti-aging treatments, hand wrinkles can go unnoticed until they become pronounced. Hand rejuvenation can smooth these lines and replenish moisture for a refreshed look.
Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
Years of sun exposure can lead to pigmentation issues like age spots, sun spots, and a blotchy skin tone. The texture of the skin can also become rough or uneven due to cumulative environmental damage. These changes not only affect the skin’s appearance but can also make hands feel less smooth. Treatments for hand rejuvenation often target discoloration and rough texture to create a more uniform and youthful look.
What Are the Benefits of Our Hand Rejuvenation?
- Fast, Non-Surgical Treatments: Our hand rejuvenation does not require surgery. Treatments are quick and performed right in our office. This means you can get back to your day without needing to set aside time for a lengthy recovery.
- Treatments Adjusted to You: No two patients have the same concerns so we customize every hand rejuvenation plan.

- Minimal Maintenance: After your hand rejuvenation treatments, you’ll be happy to know that keeping up your results doesn’t require much effort. Depending on the treatment, you may only need occasional follow-up appointments to maintain the appearance of your hands. In between visits, a good skincare routine and sun protection can go a long way in preserving your results.
- Boosted Skin Resilience: Certain treatments stimulate collagen production, which helps strengthen and thicken the skin over time. This improvement doesn’t just address current signs of aging—it also helps your skin resist future damage. Healthier, more resilient skin can handle environmental stressors better, giving your hands a longer-lasting youthful look.
- Fast Results: After some treatments, you’ll see visible improvements right away. Other treatments will have results that continue to get better with time as collagen production increases.
What Are My Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Options?
Our team in Florida is proud to offer you a variety of hand rejuvenation options. Whether you are looking to tighten your skin, even your skin tone, or reduce volume loss, there may be a treatment for you. Treatment options include:
- BTL Exilis Ultra
- Restylane Lyft
- Radiesse
Each of these hand rejuvenation treatments is performed as an outpatient procedure with no set downtime associated with treatment. Results will vary for each person, condition, and treatment. Results may not be permanent, but a series of treatments may help you achieve and maintain the best results.
What Is BTL Exilis Ultra?
BTL Exilis Ultra™ is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment option that combines gentle heat and cooling for controlled skin tightening. This device delivers a combination of radio frequency and ultrasound technology to tighten skin and encourage collagen production.
This treatment penetrates beneath the skin’s surface, focusing on specific layers to enhance tissue structure and promote better elasticity. A built-in cooling feature keeps your skin comfortable during the session while the heat encourages your body’s natural healing and collagen production processes. BTL Exilis Ultra™ is a flexible option for addressing aging or loose skin without invasive techniques or downtime.
What Is Restylane® Lyft?
Restylane Lyft is an FDA-approved dermal filler used to reduce volume loss. This filler is made of synthetic hyaluronic acid, or HA, which is a substance that naturally occurs in your body to provide your skin with structure and hydration. When administered, Restylane Lyft can provide a fuller appearance and increase in volume on the back of the hand for up to six months.
Restylane Lyft blends naturally with the tissues under your skin for results that look soft and natural. Along with restoring lost volume, it can help reduce the appearance of prominent veins and tendons. The hydrating effects of hyaluronic acid can also improve your skin’s overall texture and leave your hands looking refreshed and rejuvenated. If you’re looking for a quick, minimally invasive way to bring back a more youthful appearance, this filler could be a perfect fit.
What Is Radiesse®?
Radiesse is different from other hand rejuvenation fillers because it restores volume and stimulates collagen production. Made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, Radiesse provides immediate volumizing effects while encouraging long-term improvements in skin structure and firmness.
As the filler integrates with your skin, the CaHA microspheres create a scaffold for new collagen growth, gradually enhancing the skin’s resilience and elasticity. The effects can last for a year or sometimes longer. Treatments are fast and simple and can fit into your lunch hour. Some people experience bruising, redness, or swelling, but patients can get back to their day right away.
FAQs About Hand Rejuvenation
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions you’ll need for non-surgical hand rejuvenation depends on your specific concerns and the treatments you choose. Dermal fillers like Restylane and Radiesse often provide noticeable improvements after a single appointment, though touch-ups may be needed to maintain results. For treatments like BTL Exilis Ultra, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
Are the Treatments Painful?
Hand rejuvenation treatments keep patient comfort in mind. Dermal fillers are administered using fine needles, and a numbing agent is often included in the formula to reduce discomfort. For BTL Exilis Ultra, the device uses cooling for a more comfortable experience during the session. While some patients may feel mild sensations, they are generally well-tolerated.
When Will I See My Results?
With dermal fillers like Restylane and Radiesse, you’ll notice immediate improvements in volume and smoothness. However, for treatments that stimulate collagen, such as BTL Exilis Ultra, results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. This process can take a few weeks to fully reveal smoother, tighter skin.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the treatment used. Dermal fillers last between six months to a year. Treatments like BTL Exilis Ultra™ offer long-lasting benefits and can provide skin tightness and improved texture anywhere from six months to two years, depending on skin quality and external factors.
Am I a Good Candidate for Hand Rejuvenation?
If you are frustrated with the appearance of your hands, there may be a hand rejuvenation treatment option for you. These non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment options are designed to be safe and effective for a variety of skin tones and types.
However, a consultation with our team in Naples is the best way to determine the treatment option for you. As many of these treatments achieve the best results after a series of treatments, they can also help you develop a treatment plan.
