Hand Rejuvenation Treatment

Hand rejuvenation involves using Injectable fillers when the signs of aging begin to appear to combat age-related changes, including volume loss, saggy skin, fine lines, and sunken areas. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments can be used to get rid of discolorations and dark spots, on the hands.

Yes! Treatment with fillers is FDA approved. IPL treatments are safe for individuals with skin that is Fitzpatrick type 1-4; however, individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types 5 or 6 are not candidates for treatment. One of our skilled medical professionals will determine your skin type and let you know if you are a candidate for an IPL treatment.

Schedule a free consultation! During your consultation, a highly-skilled Skin Works Med Spa medical professional will evaluate the areas of your hands that concern you and educate you on hand rejuvenation. You will learn about the treatment options, expected results, possible complications, and follow-up care that may be needed. If you decide to get a treatment on the same day, you will be offered a free medical-grade numbing cream prior to treatment. Most areas do not require numbing creme, and treatments are typically comfortable; however, they can be mildly painful to some individuals. Do not drink alcohol or take multivitamins, St John’s Wort, aspirin, Ibuprofen, high doses of vitamin E, or blood thinners for one week prior to filler treatment to decrease the risk of bruising. Prior to an IPL treatment, avoid using Retinols 3 days prior to treatment and avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you have a new tan, you may have to postpone treatment.

Treatment with the filler Radiesse usually only takes a few minutes. IPL treatment can take between 15 and 30 minutes.

Typically, the only feeling experienced during a filler treatment will be a small prick. Our highly skilled medical professionals insert the needle with medical precision to ensure that the treatment is as painless as possible. IPL treatments may lead to a warm sensation at the treatment site.

If you are very sensitive to pain, you may want to have a numbing cream applied to the treatment area during treatment. This will ensure that no sensation will be experienced during the injection. Most people typically receive treatment without numbing cream as they describe the treatments as causing little to no pain.

Results are typically seen instantly with injectable fillers. Results from IPL treatment are typically seen within 1 to 2 weeks.

Our skilled medical professionals artistically use fillers with medical precision to reduce the appearance of folds, wrinkles, or creases in the hands! Injectable fillers do exactly what their name says: They fill the area and create a “fuller” appearance, making tendons and veins less noticeable. IPL is used to create a clearer complexion with an even skin tone once pigmentation lightens!

Some people may want a few days to recover from minor swelling and bruising after filler treatment. After an IPL treatment, you may notice the treatment area get slightly darker prior to lightening. This can result in some “social downtime” until your skin lightens.

During your free consultation, a highly skilled medical professional will assess the area to determine how many treatments you may need. If more than one treatment is necessary, we will discuss it with you. For fillers, one syringe per hand is usually enough. For IPL treatments, most individuals are happy with results after one session; however, 3 treatments are usually recommended to get your ideal clear, bright skin.

Results from injectable fillers are temporary and must be touched up to maintain results. Treatments with Radiesse usually last 9 to 12 months and helps to stimulate collagen production, reducing the amount of filler you will need with future treatments. Results from IPL treatments are permanent; however, pigmentation can return for a variety of reasons, including sun exposure. Multiple treatments may be recommended for certain individuals.

Do not get treated with fillers or IPL if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not get fillers if you have an infection near or at the desired treatment site or are planning to work out the day of treatment. If you are planning to drink alcohol the night before or the day of your appointment or to take multivitamins, St John’s Wort, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, high doses of vitamin E, or blood thinners one week prior to treatment, then please talk to one of our medical professionals to see if you are eligible for treatment. If you have very tan or dark skin, you may not be a candidate for IPL treatments. If you have an active herpes breakout or have used Accutane within the last 6 months, do not get IPL treatments. Individuals with a history of seizures are advised of the bright light at the beginning of treatment and, depending on seizure history, may be advised against treatment. If you have any concerns, please bring them up with one of our highly skilled medical professionals during your consultation!

The most common side effects of filler treatments are swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which typically resolves within 48 to 72 hours of treatment. Discomfort can be managed with numbing cream during the procedure. For IPL treatments, there are little to no side effects; however, redness at the treatment site is common. Areas of pigmentation may darken before becoming lighter. These areas can be covered with makeup or tinted sunscreen.

Due to the possibility of swelling or bruising with fillers, it is generally not recommended to have your treatment right before an important event. It is absolutely fine to travel or return to work if you feel up to it! Since the treatment area can darken immediately following treatment, we recommend that IPL treatments occur 2 to 4 weeks prior to any important event you will attend.
