Hand Rejuvenation

A hand treatment is a non-invasive procedure that requires
little to no downtime and can be done within 30 minutes to one hour
depending on the area treated. The injections are made between the
spaces of the fingers; usually between the second and third fingers
and the third and fourth fingers.
Results will be immediate and the effect will last for
6 to 8 months.

Before your hand rejuvenation:

• Schedule a consultation with a qualified cosmetic injector
• Discuss medical history, skin concerns and desired outcome
• Avoid blood thinning medications or supplements (e.g. aspirin, fish oil) for a few days prior
• Don’t drink or smoke to reduce healing time
• Make sure hands are clean and free of infections

The procedure includes:

• Assessment of hand anatomy and target areas
• Cleansing the treatment site
• Application of numbing cream (if required)
• Injection of a product with a fine needle or cannula
• Massaging the product for even distribution

The treatment takes about 30–45 minutes and you can go back to
most activities immediately.

Bruising is a common side effect. To minimise bruising after treatment stop taking
Nurofen, aspirin and all other anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners
at least one week before your treatment date. Do not stop taking any prescribed medications
without your doctor’s approval. It is safe to take Panadol as a painkiller.

• Your hand will be swollen and a little stiff after treatment and will gradually go down over the first two weeks
• Make sure to wash your hands regularly for cleanliness
• You can apply ice to your hands to minimise pain and swelling
• Try to keep your hands out of direct sunlight
• Do not rub the treatment area for a few days
• If you have been treated with a thick long lasting filler you may be asked to massage the treated area from time to time for a few days. If not massaged tiny lumps may form around the treated area.

As with any treatment there are risks involved with hand treatments.
You should be aware of these before you go ahead with the treatment.
Better safe than sorry.

Possible side effects and complications that may occur after
hand treatments are usually minimal and short-term. They include:

• Allergic reactions
• Swelling
• Inflammatory reactions resulting in nodule formation, cold sores,
  flare-up of arthritis and other similar problems
• Infections
• Bleeding, bruising and scarring
• Bumps and lumps
• Migration of filler material to a different site

The experience and skill of the injector play a big role in avoiding
side effects. That’s why you should choose an accredited practitioner
for cosmetic treatments.
