What a Plastic Surgeon Recommends for Younger-Looking Hands

We exfoliate, we serum, we SPF, but when was the last time we did something for our hands? While we’re busy smoothing out our foreheads and hydrating our cheeks, our hands quietly age in the background. And sometimes, they age faster than our faces.

Why? For starters, the skin on the hands is thinner and more exposed. They take the brunt of everything, sun, soap, cleaning agents, driving, and yes, even your regular gel manicures. If you’re someone who gets your nails done frequently, the UV lamps used to cure gel polish can cause cumulative sun damage, accelerating collagen breakdown and causing early signs of aging like brown spots, wrinkling, and thin crepey skin.

Add to that natural volume loss and visible veins, and you’ve got a part of your body that tells your age, sometimes even before your smile lines do.

But the good news is: you don’t have to settle for that. Thanks to advanced aesthetic procedures, hand rejuvenation treatments in Vizag are giving people the chance to literally turn back the clock, on their hands.

Whether you’re just starting to notice subtle signs or already seeing bony, veiny hands in selfies, plastic surgeon Dr. Anjali Saple shares what really works, and what’s just hype, when it comes to restoring younger-looking hands.

Understanding the Aging Process in Hands

Before diving into treatment options, it’s important to understand what causes hands to look older. Aging hands are not just about wrinkles. There are multiple anatomical and environmental factors at play:

• Volume Loss: With age, the fat pads on the dorsum (back) of the hands thin out. This reveals underlying veins, tendons, and bones, giving the hands a hollowed, “skeletal” look.

• Dermal Degradation: Decreased production of collagen and elastin leads to thinning, wrinkling, and sagging of skin. The skin becomes more fragile and prone to damage.

• Photodamage: UV exposure leads to hyperpigmentation, often seen as age spots or solar lentigines. The skin becomes uneven in tone and texture.

• Mechanical Stress: Frequent washing, cleaning agents, and general overuse contribute to chronic skin dryness, crepiness, and texture changes.

Recognizing these factors helps in choosing the best treatments for aging hands, because rejuvenation isn’t one-size-fits-all—it must be layered and tailored.

Plastic Surgery Approaches for Hand Rejuvenation

Plastic surgery offers a comprehensive toolbox to reverse or soften these changes. Here are the core methods used today in younger-looking hands plastic surgery in Vizag:

1. Volume Restoration

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) are injected under the skin to restore lost volume and smooth out the dorsal contours of the hands. Brands like Restylane Lyft or Juvederm Voluma are commonly used and FDA-approved for this purpose. These fillers:

• Re-plump areas that have hollowed out

• Minimize visibility of veins and tendons

• Provide results that typically last 6–12 months

• Are minimally invasive with minimal downtime

Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which resolves in a few days. Results are immediate.

Autologous Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)

This is considered a more permanent alternative to fillers. It involves:

• Harvesting fat from a donor site (typically abdomen or thighs) using liposuction

• Purifying the fat and re-injecting it into the hands in precise amounts

• The grafted fat integrates with the existing tissue, improving both volume and skin quality (thanks to the regenerative potential of stem cells)

Fat transfer to hands in Vizag is growing in popularity among patients who want natural, long-lasting results without synthetic materials. Approximately 60–80% of the fat survives long-term, offering rejuvenation for several years.

2. Skin Quality Improvement

Laser Resurfacing

For patients dealing with pigmentation, wrinkles, or rough texture, laser therapy helps renew the skin:

• Fractional CO₂ or Er:YAG lasers are used to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and reduce age spots

• These treatments also address fine wrinkles and improve overall tone

• Multiple sessions might be required, with downtime of 5–7 days depending on laser strength

Laser rejuvenation is often combined with volume restoration to achieve harmonious results.

Chemical Peels

Mild to moderate chemical peels with TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or glycolic acid help in sloughing off the upper damaged layers of skin, improving clarity and tone. They are typically recommended:

• For patients with mild photodamage

• As a maintenance therapy post-fillers or fat grafting

Peels are quick, office-based procedures with minimal discomfort and downtime.

3. Skin Tightening and Surgical Rejuvenation

For more advanced cases where there is significant laxity or dermal redundancy, surgical hand rejuvenation in Vizag is a consideration.

Procedures may include:

• Skin excision (rarely needed for dorsal hand aging but useful in some cases)

• Laser-assisted skin tightening combined with subdermal heating

• Advanced microneedling-RF devices for collagen stimulation without surgery

Is Hand Rejuvenation Permanent?

Hand rejuvenation is not permanent, but it can be long-lasting.

• Fillers last up to a year.

• Fat grafts may persist for years.

• Laser and peels require maintenance (every 6–12 months).

• Sun protection and skincare help prolong results.

A layered approach—volume + surface + skin care—delivers the most sustainable rejuvenation.

Cost of Hand Rejuvenation in Vizag

The cost varies based on:

• Type of treatment (filler vs fat transfer vs laser)

• Amount of product or sessions required

• Whether procedures are combined

In Vizag, Dr. Anjali Saple offers customized plans based on aesthetic goals and budget, ensuring clarity before treatment begins.
