What is Hand Filler Treatment?
Hand filler is a cosmetic, non-surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the hands by reducing signs of aging such as thinning skin, visible veins, and wrinkles. The treatment restores a youthful, smooth, and hydrated appearance to the hands.
What is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation targets common signs of aging — such as volume loss, wrinkles, and prominent veins or tendons — to improve the aesthetic appearance of the hands.
This treatment often uses dermal fillers to restore lost volume, enhance skin texture, and create a more youthful and refreshed look.
Which Substances Are Used in Hand Filler Treatments?
Hand filler procedures typically use hyaluronic acid–based fillers, which naturally occur in the skin and help retain moisture and volume.
In some cases, calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are preferred for their collagen-stimulating and long-lasting rejuvenating effects.
The choice of filler depends on the desired result and the condition of the skin.
How Long Does Hand Filler Last?
The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler and individual metabolism:
Hyaluronic acid fillers: approximately 6–12 months
Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers: up to 18 months or longer
Regular maintenance sessions help prolong the rejuvenating effect.
Aftercare: What to Expect After Hand Filler Treatment
After the procedure, mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur around the injection sites — these effects typically subside within a few days.
To ensure optimal healing and results:
Avoid intense physical activity, excessive heat exposure (hot showers, saunas), and direct sunlight for 24–48 hours.
Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling or bruising.
Follow your dermatologist’s post-treatment care instructions.
Avoid blood-thinning medications (except paracetamol) before and after the procedure to minimize bruising.
Hand Filler (Hand Rejuvenation) – Frequently Asked Questions
What is hand filler and what is it used for?
Hand filler is an aesthetic procedure designed to restore lost volume in aging hands where veins and tendons have become more visible.
By injecting hyaluronic acid or bio-stimulant fillers under the skin, it provides both fullness and improved skin quality.
Who is a good candidate for hand rejuvenation?
It is suitable for anyone experiencing volume loss, wrinkles, dryness, or age spots on their hands.
Many patients begin noticing thinning skin and decreased elasticity in their 30s, making this an ideal time to start treatment.
How is the hand filler procedure performed, and is it painful?
Before treatment, a local anesthetic cream is applied to ensure comfort.
The filler is then injected beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas.
Patients may feel a slight pressure or fullness, but pain is generally minimal.
The session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, and normal activities can resume immediately afterward.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure.
Depending on the filler type, results last approximately 12–18 months.
Skin texture and radiance continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
What should be avoided after hand filler treatment?
For the first 24 hours, avoid:
Hot water and saunas
Strenuous exercise
Direct sun exposure
Do not massage the treated area, and always apply sunscreen regularly.
Any minor redness or swelling should resolve quickly.
