The Most Neglected Area in Aesthetic Medicine Youthful Hands.
Complete Rejuvenation.

The hands are one of the most visible areas of the body and one of the most reliable indicators of age, yet they are frequently overlooked in aesthetic medicine. Patients who invest in facial rejuvenation often find that their hands give away their age in a way that their face no longer does, creating an inconsistency that undermines the overall rejuvenation effect. The hands age through multiple mechanisms simultaneously: volume loss makes the tendons and veins more prominent; skin quality declines with thinning, laxity, and surface changes; and chronic sun exposure produces the age spots and pigmentation changes that mark the hands as aged.

At Superior Health Medical and Wellness, Dr. Akers addresses hand aging comprehensively, with treatments that restore volume to the dorsal hand, improve the quality and texture of the thinning hand skin, and address the pigmentation changes that age the hands visually. The result is a more youthful, harmonious appearance that matches the rejuvenation achieved in the face and completes the overall aesthetic picture. Hand rejuvenation at Superior Health is physician-administered with the same clinical precision applied to facial treatments.

Hand Rejuvenation Services What We Provide

From hyaluronic acid volume restoration and skin quality treatments to pigmentation correction and comprehensive hand rejuvenation programs, Superior Health provides physician-administered hand rejuvenation. Explore the services below.

Volume loss is the most structurally significant aging change in the hands, causing the tendons, joints, and veins of the dorsal hand to become prominent and the overall appearance to look skeletal. Hyaluronic acid filler injected into the dorsal hand restores the soft tissue volume that cushions the underlying structures, producing an immediate and dramatic improvement in hand appearance. The treatment is performed with a blunt cannula technique that minimizes bruising and produces smooth, natural-looking volume distribution.
PRP injections across the dorsal hand deliver growth factors to the thin, thinning skin of the hand, stimulating collagen production that improves skin firmness, texture, and hydration. The growth factors from PRP activate the fibroblasts in the hand skin and promote the production of the collagen and hyaluronic acid that give youthful hand skin its plumpness and smoothness. PRP is often combined with volume restoration for comprehensive hand rejuvenation.
Age spots, sunspots, and uneven pigmentation on the dorsal hand are a primary visual aging signal and respond well to chemical peels. Superficial to medium-depth peels accelerate the removal of pigmented epidermal cells, producing clearance of age spots and evening of overall hand tone. A series of peels combined with appropriate brightening skincare produces comprehensive pigmentation clearance and maintains the results with an ongoing maintenance peel schedule.
Microneedling applied to the dorsal hand stimulates collagen production in the thin, sun-damaged hand skin, improving texture, firmness, and quality over a series of sessions. When combined with PRP, microneedling produces accelerated collagen remodeling and growth factor delivery that further enhances the improvement in hand skin quality. This combination is particularly effective for patients whose hand skin is significantly thinned or crepey from chronic sun exposure and aging.
PDRN microinjections or topical application via microneedling channels deliver polynucleotide therapy to the dorsal hand skin, activating A2A receptors on hand skin fibroblasts and stimulating collagen production alongside anti-inflammatory tissue support. PDRN is a valuable component of comprehensive hand rejuvenation programs, particularly for patients with sensitive or reactive hand skin that requires a gentler approach to stimulation.
The most complete hand rejuvenation outcomes are achieved with a multi-treatment program that addresses all components of hand aging in a coordinated sequence. Dr. Akers designs comprehensive programs that sequence volume restoration, skin quality treatments, and pigmentation correction in the order that produces the best cumulative result. The typical program begins with volume restoration for immediate structural improvement, followed by skin quality and pigmentation treatments that build on the restored framework.

01 Hands Age Differently From the Face and Need a Different Approach

The dorsal hand has thinner skin, less subcutaneous tissue, and chronic UV exposure that produces specific aging changes different from facial aging. Volume loss is more dramatic and structurally significant in the hand. Pigmentation changes from sun exposure are more concentrated and pronounced. Skin quality changes are accelerated by the thinner dermal structure. Effective hand rejuvenation requires understanding these specific changes and addressing them with treatments calibrated to the hand's anatomy.

02 The Result is Immediate and Dramatic With Volume Restoration

Unlike many aesthetic treatments where results develop gradually, hyaluronic acid volume restoration in the hands produces an immediate and highly visible improvement. The tendons and veins that created an aged, skeletal appearance are immediately softened by the restored volume, and patients typically see a dramatic improvement within minutes of treatment. This immediacy makes hand rejuvenation one of the most satisfying treatments from a patient experience perspective.

03 It Completes the Rejuvenation Your Face Has Achieved

Facial rejuvenation that is not matched by appropriate hand rejuvenation can produce a visible inconsistency between a more youthful face and aging hands that undermines the overall aesthetic result. Dr. Akers includes hand assessment as part of comprehensive aesthetic consultations and can coordinate hand and facial rejuvenation in a single appointment or as part of a planned aesthetic program that achieves a harmonious, age-consistent overall appearance.

Volume Restoration Restoring Hand Volume:
What the Treatment Involves

Dorsal hand volume restoration is performed with hyaluronic acid filler injected via a blunt cannula technique. A single entry point is created on the dorsal hand through which the cannula is advanced along the subcutaneous plane, depositing filler in a controlled pattern beneath the thin hand skin. The blunt cannula technique is preferred for hand treatment because it minimizes trauma to the dorsal hand veins and produces smoother volume distribution than needle injection.

The amount of filler used per hand depends on the degree of volume loss present. Mild volume loss may require one to two syringes per hand. Moderate to significant volume loss may require two to four syringes per hand. Dr. Akers assesses the degree of volume loss at consultation and provides specific volume recommendations based on your hand anatomy and the degree of structural change present.

Results from hand volume restoration are immediate and last one to two years depending on the specific product used and the patient's individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase if adjustment is needed. Most patients find the improvement so satisfying that they maintain their results with a single touch-up session every twelve to eighteen months.

The Full Picture Skin Quality and
Pigmentation Treatment

After volume restoration addresses the structural component of hand aging, skin quality and pigmentation treatments address the surface changes. Chemical peels for pigmentation clearance are scheduled two to four weeks after volume restoration to avoid interfering with the filler integration process. PRP or microneedling for skin quality improvement follows a similar sequence, allowing the volume restoration result to settle before introducing the stimulation of skin-level treatments.

The combination of volume restoration, skin quality improvement, and pigmentation correction produces a comprehensive hand rejuvenation result that addresses all three major components of hand aging simultaneously. Dr. Akers sequences these treatments appropriately and coordinates the timing to produce the most efficient path to complete hand rejuvenation. Most patients achieve a satisfying overall result within two to three months of beginning a comprehensive hand program.

Frequently Asked Questions Your Questions,

The most effective approach depends on which aspects of hand aging are most prominent. Volume loss that makes the tendons and veins prominent responds dramatically and immediately to hyaluronic acid filler. Age spots and pigmentation respond well to chemical peels and brightening treatments. Skin quality, thinning, and crepiness respond to PRP, microneedling, and PDRN. For most patients with multiple aging concerns, a comprehensive program that addresses all three components produces the most complete and satisfying result.
Hyaluronic acid hand filler typically lasts twelve to eighteen months. The dorsal hand is an area of significant movement and mechanical stress, which can accelerate filler metabolism compared to less mobile facial areas. The specific product used also affects longevity, with thicker, more cross-linked products generally lasting longer. Dr. Akers discusses product selection and expected longevity at your consultation based on your anatomy and the amount of volume needed.
Hand filler with cannula technique involves a small needle insertion for the entry point and then the cannula advancement, which is well tolerated with local anesthetic or topical numbing. Chemical peels on the hands produce a stinging sensation during application. Microneedling on the dorsal hand is performed with topical numbing cream and is generally comfortable. Dr. Akers uses appropriate numbing protocols for all hand rejuvenation procedures.
Yes. Hand and facial rejuvenation treatments can often be combined in a single appointment, depending on the specific treatments involved. Volume restoration for both the face and hands can be performed in a single session. Chemical peels on the hands can be coordinated with facial peel treatments. Dr. Akers can discuss which treatments can be efficiently combined and which should be sequenced at your comprehensive consultation.
After dorsal hand filler, avoid vigorous hand massage or pressure to the dorsal hand for 24 to 48 hours while the filler integrates. Normal daily activities can resume immediately. Avoid extreme heat such as hot tubs or saunas for 24 hours. The filler may feel slightly firm initially and will soften to a natural feel within one to two weeks. Some patients notice mild bruising or swelling at the treatment area for a few days, which is managed with arnica and resolves naturally.
