HAND REJUVENATION
Cosmetic hand rejuvenation treatments are essential for maintaining a youthful appearance. Though many people focus only on the face when it comes to anti-aging protocols, neglecting the skin of the hands could mean that you are revealing your true age with every handshake. Fortunately, there are quick, minimally invasive methods that can significantly improve mild skin laxity, volume loss, and other conditions that cause our hands to look aged. In Mumbai, board-certified dermatologist and skincare specialist Dr. Sagar Gujjar provides highly customized, non-surgical hand rejuvenation procedures that can provide natural-looking volumization in as little as one treatment.
WHAT IS HAND REJUVENATION?
Cosmetic hand rejuvenation treatments help to smooth, strengthen, and beautify the skin on the backs of our hands. The backs of our hands receive more sun exposure than most other parts of our body, which causes the skin to age more rapidly. Signs of aging appear on the hands in various ways, including:- Thinning skin
- Volume loss
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Increased exposure of veins and tendons
QUALIFICATIONS
Dr. Gujjar’s hand rejuvenation protocols often involve multiple techniques and procedures. Strategically combining complementary treatments allows Dr. Gujjar to restore volume, improve the quality and texture of the skin, reduce wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of veins and tendons that cause our hands to look aged.
HOW DOES HAND REJUVENATION WITH FILLERS WORK?
Wrinkles, skin laxity, and protruding veins and tendons are often the result of decreased collagen production and lost volume due to the natural aging process. Dr. Gujjar uses dermal fillers to minimize wrinkles and tighten loose skin caused by volume loss. Dr. Gujjar can also use fillers to increase volume in the hollows around tendons and larger veins. Adding volume in these areas helps to camouflage veins and tendons and to smooth out crepey skin and wrinkles.
Due to the large number of veins and tendons running through the hands, it is essential that hand rejuvenation procedures are performed by an experienced, skilled professional like Dr. Gujjar. Dr. Gujjar understands the importance of injecting dermal fillers superficially to avoid the veins, nerves, and tendon sheaths (the layers of connective tissue that protect the tendons) deep beneath the skin. Dr. Gujjar also avoids placing fillers in the fingers, where the skin is too thin for injection.
WHAT IS HAND REJUVENATION WITH FILLERS?
Injectable dermal fillers are the foundation of most minimally invasive hand rejuvenation procedures. Dermal fillers are most often associated with facial sculpting. However, fillers can also be injected to reduce signs of aging in many other common problem areas.
Just as Dr. Gujjar can use dermal fillers to replace lost volume in the cheeks or to fill nasolabial folds, he can inject fillers into the backside of the hands to achieve a plumper, smoother, and dramatically more youthful look. Dr. Gujjar often recommends hand rejuvenation with fillers as a quick, minimally invasive, no-downtime solution for:
- Filling wrinkles
- Minimizing the appearance of veins and tendons
- Replacing lost volume
- Smoothing out crepey skin
- Stimulating collagen production for long-term improvements in skin texture
PROCEDURE DETAILS
The Original MicroNeedling
The original microneedling treatment involves using fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin's surface. This process stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing scars and wrinkles.PRP Microneedling
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) microneedling combines traditional microneedling with the application of PRP from your blood. The growth factors in PRP enhance the skin's healing and rejuvenation, making it effective for scars, fine lines, and overall skin renewal.Radio Frequency Microneedling
Radio Frequency (RF) microneedling blends traditional microneedling with RF energy. The controlled thermal energy from the RF promotes collagen production and tightens the skin, offering significant improvement in skin texture and sagging.
HAND REJUVENATION WITH FILLERS:
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT
Dr. Gujjar performs hand rejuvenation treatments with fillers at his Pali Hill medical practice. This quick procedure is minimally invasive and well-tolerated by the majority of patients.
First, Dr. Gujjar will carefully identify the ideal injection sites. Then, he uses a blunt-tipped cannula to deliver the filler. The cannula glides easily beneath the skin and under the blood vessels as Dr. Gujjar strategically injects tiny aliquots of filler in the area between the knuckles and the wrist.
Injecting fillers with a needle is more commonplace than using a cannula. However, Dr. Gujjar has found that using a cannula instead of a needle helps to reduce pain and minimize swelling and bruising post-treatment.
Most patients experience a pinching sensation or mild discomfort during the injections. For others, the treatment can be moderately painful. To help alleviate pain, Dr. Gujjar combines the filler with lidocaine. Lidocaine is an anaesthetic that numbs the area once injected.
To ensure even distribution throughout the treated area, Dr. Gujjar lightly massages the filler once it is injected. Adding lidocaine to the filler gives the solution a thinner, more viscous consistency, which makes it easier for Dr. Gujjar to massage the product across the back of the hands for the most aesthetic, natural-looking results.
During the post-injection massage, Dr. Gujjar uses a “tenting” technique, in which he pinches the skin upwards. This method allows Dr. Gujjar to target specific low-volume areas safely and effectively. Warming up the hands immediately after treatment also helps to achieve optimal distribution of the filler.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER HAND
REJUVENATION TREATMENT
There is minimal downtime with a hand rejuvenation procedure. Although you may experience redness, swelling, and/or tenderness in the area for up to two weeks, patients can return to their everyday activities immediately after treatment.
HOW DOES DR. GUJJAR DO NON-SURGICAL
HAND REJUVENATION DIFFERENTLY?
Dr. Gujjar has extensive experience with dermal fillers for cosmetic enhancement. His injection technique is highly refined, and he is meticulous in selecting the right type of filler and optimal dosage for each unique patient. While he can provide visible results with fillers alone, Dr. Gujjar has found that the most effective approach to rejuvenating the hands is a customized, combination treatment that blends multiple methodologies and innovative techniques with:
- Non-ablative resurfacing to promote skin tightening, visibly improve wrinkles and mild skin laxity, and enhance skin texture and tone.
- Microneedling devices to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, improve surface texture, and enhance collagen production.
- Chemical peels such as Cosmelan to maintain the tightening and brightening achieved through laser skin resurfacing, improve hyperpigmentation, and accelerate cellular turnover to remove dead skin cells, soften texture, smooth the skin, and reduce pores and fine lines.
- Mesotherapy, which delivers hydrating nutrients and serums through superficial micro-injections, plumping the skin and giving an overall more youthful appearance.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which works in conjunction with RF devices, and Microneedling to improve wrinkles and sun damage.
- Post-procedure healing treatments such as LED Light Therapy, which can increase blood circulation, accelerate healing, and help improve overall skin quality.
- A patient-tailored daily skincare and sun protection protocol to keep the treated skin exfoliated, hydrated, and bright.
RIGHT FOR YOU?
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR
HAND REJUVENATION?
It is important to schedule a formal evaluation with a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Sagar Gujjar to determine the best method of hand rejuvenation for you. Dermal fillers are safe and effective for patients of many ages and all skin tones. However, some hand rejuvenation treatments may not be advisable for patients with certain medical conditions that affect the hands, such as arthritis or Reynaud’s disease.

HOW MUCH DOES HAND REJUVENATION TREATMENT COST?
Dr. Gujjar will develop a unique hand rejuvenation treatment plan for your specific needs. The cost of cosmetic hand rejuvenation depends on the complexity of treatment, the dose of filler required, and whether complementary procedures are needed to resurface, hydrate, and beautify the skin. In your consultation, Dr. Gujjar will review your hand rejuvenation options and the related costs, so you can choose the approach that is best for you.
HOW LONG DO HAND
REJUVENATION RESULTS LAST?
On average, hand rejuvenation with fillers provides results that last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the filler used. Patients who diet and exercise regularly may experience greater volume loss and more rapid aging in the hands and therefore may require more frequent touch-ups and maintenance treatments. Dr. Gujjar can maximize the duration of improvements by pairing fillers with complementary treatments that improve the strength and appearance of your skin.
