Hand Rejuvenation in Williamsburg, VA
Aging often begins not on the face, but on the hands — the part of the body most visible in everyday life. Despite their constant use, hands are frequently overlooked when it comes to anti-aging care. Their exposure to sunlight, environmental stressors, and natural volume loss make them one of the first areas to reveal signs of time. At Williamsburg Plastic Surgery, we offer specialized treatments designed to restore youthfulness and confidence to the hands.
How Does Hand Rejuvenation Make My Hands Look Younger?
The process focuses on two key improvements: eliminating discoloration caused by sun damage and restoring volume lost over time. By targeting both texture and tone, the hands regain a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Hand Rejuvenation Treatments
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost volume beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing contours. On the hands, volume loss is more significant than wrinkles, leading to a gaunt look where veins become pronounced. Radiesse is the only FDA-approved filler specifically indicated for hand rejuvenation. It consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once injected, it fills hollow areas and lifts the skin, providing immediate volume. The microspheres also stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, helping rebuild structural support over time. We also use hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm to add volume to the fingers, which Radiesse cannot treat due to anatomical limitations.
Intense Pulsed Light
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers broad-spectrum light energy to target pigmented lesions such as age spots and solar lentigines. The light is absorbed by melanin in dark spots, converting to heat that breaks down the pigment. After treatment, spots darken and gradually peel away. Residual melanin fades over several weeks. IPL is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and leaves the hands with a mild sunburn-like appearance that resolves within a few days.
Laser Resurfacing
We utilize the Smartxide Fractional CO2 laser to rejuvenate the skin on the back of the hands. The laser creates microscopic channels through the epidermis and into the dermis, triggering rapid healing and boosting collagen and elastin production. This improves skin texture, tightness, and elasticity. The outer layer of skin peels naturally over a few days, replaced by fresh tissue. Healing is fast, with most patients returning to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Our patients glow, and their reviews shine!
