We invest enormous time and energy in caring for our faces — SPF, serums, treatments and regular aesthetic appointments. But there's one area that often gives away our age more readily than our faces, and that receives a fraction of the same attention: our hands.
Why do hands age so visibly?
The skin on the backs of the hands is naturally thinner than facial skin and has fewer sebaceous glands, making it more vulnerable to dryness and environmental damage. Hands are also exposed to UV rays, water, cleaning products and physical wear every single day — without the SPF protection we routinely apply to our faces.
As we age, the fat pads beneath the skin of the hands naturally diminish — making the veins, tendons and bones more prominent, and the skin more crepe-like and loose. Collagen and hyaluronic acid decline here just as they do in the face, but the effects can be more pronounced because the skin starts thinner.
What treatments are available?
Radiesse hand filler is the gold standard for hand rejuvenation. Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume — restoring the plumper, smoother appearance of younger hands — but also stimulates the body's own collagen production over time. It is the first and only filler approved by the FDA specifically for hand volume correction, and results typically last 18–24 months.
"Clients are often amazed by how much of a difference hand filler makes — the hands look genuinely younger, and the results last significantly longer than facial fillers."
Profhilo for the hands is an excellent complementary treatment — or an alternative for clients who want to focus on skin quality rather than volume. Profhilo applied to the hands deeply hydrates the skin, stimulates collagen and elastin, and firms and smooths the appearance without adding visible volume.
Biorevitalisation is also highly effective for hand skin quality, particularly for sun-damaged or heavily dehydrated skin on the backs of the hands.
Is it suitable for me?
Hand rejuvenation treatments are suitable for a wide age range — we treat clients from their 30s through to their 70s. The best approach depends on whether the primary concern is volume loss, skin quality, or both. Your free consultation is the place to work that out — and the results often genuinely surprise people.
