Hand Rejuvenation in New Orleans
Our hands are constantly exposed to the environment, and as we age, they can demonstrate changes related to the aging process, such as age spots, loss of volume, and thinning skin. Thus, rejuvenating the hands can help reverse the aging process and give your hands a more youthful appearance.
Hand rejuvenation refers to a set of cosmetic procedures that can restore the hands to a more youthful appearance. Many of the same procedures that work for the face also work on the hands. The procedures that Dr. Hendrick uses include injectables such as Juvéderm, Radiesse, Belotero, fat grafting, and laser skin resurfacing.
What Happens During Hand Rejuvenation?
Dr. Hendrick will examine your hands during your consultation and will listen to your concerns about their appearance. He will then choose a procedure or set of procedures to improve the look of your hands. If you have both age spots and volume loss, you may require injectables or fat grafting, as well as skin resurfacing.
Dr. Hendrick may use a COâ‚‚ laser or fractional COâ‚‚ laser to improve skin tone and texture. Read more about skin resurfacing.
Injectables like Juvéderm, Radiesse, and Belotero involve injecting a dermal filler into the hands to add volume. Click on the name of the product to read more about each filler.
Fat grafting is another option for restoring hand volume. It involves removing fat from donor sites on the body such as the abdomen or hips and then injecting it into the hands. This technique is more invasive, as it involves small incisions and treats more than one area of the body, but fat grafts last longer than injectables.
What Can Hand Rejuvenation Accomplish?
Hand rejuvenation can restore lost volume that has made the hands look thin and aged, fade age and sun-related spots and keratoses on the hands and/or help the hands look more youthful.

Hand Rejuvenation FAQs in New Orleans
What can I expect during recovery from hand rejuvenation?​
Recovery depends on the treatment you receive. While the skin on the hands takes longer to heal than the skin on the face, none of the hand rejuvenation procedures require significant downtime.
Fat grafting typically requires the most recovery time, as it involves incisions for liposuction on the body. Healing after laser resurfacing may take a couple of weeks, while Injectables generally involve the least post-procedure effects. In all cases, there is usually some tenderness and inflammation. Injectables may also cause minor bruising.
How long do the results of hand rejuvenation last?​
The answer depends on the method used for your hand rejuvenation. Dark spots that have been removed through skin resurfacing do not return, but new spots can form, especially if you do not protect your hands from the sun.
Injectables are temporary and will likely require repeat injections.
Fat grafting may be a longer-lasting solution for volume loss but is the most invasive procedure.
Does insurance cover hand rejuvenation?​
Hand rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure, so insurance carriers will not cover it.
