Conveniently located to service Ridgewood and Bergen County NJ
Jump To:
As we age, the skin on our hands can change just as much as the skin on our face, resulting in thinner, sagging skin and an increased visibility of the tendons and veins. Hand rejuvenation at Village Plastic Surgery is a restorative treatment that combines skin fillers, such as Restylane Lyft and Radiesse, with native fat and laser treatments, including Fraxel, to replace lost volume and enhance the overall appearance of the hand. IPL laser can help treat brown spots too.

How Hand Rejuvenation Works
The skin of the hand is first injected with a biocompatible filler that stimulates collagen production, thickening the skin and making tendons and veins less visible. Desired results can usually be achieved after a series of two to three hand rejuvenation treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
Laser treatments work in conjunction with the filler to enhance the skin’s texture while also reducing sun spots and other unwanted blemishes. A series of four laser treatments, spaced a month apart, can help patients achieve significant results.

The Hand Rejuvenation Procedure
Your hand rejuvenation treatment is a personalized plan by Dr. Pedy Ganchi. For a filler treatment Dr. Pedy Ganchi uses a fine needle or cannula to place the filler, such as Restylane Lyft, beneath the skin’s surface. This injection process often takes 15-20 minutes and includes numbing.
A fat transfer is a two-step procedure that involves harvesting fat via liposuction or simple extraction and then injecting it into the hands. The harvested fat is purified and strategically injected into the back of the hands to restore natural-looking volume.
If you are having a resurfacing treatment, Dr. Pedy Ganchi will use a laser device like IPL that works by removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, or Fraxel that promotes collagen production. The exact procedural approach for your hands will be determined during your consultation.
Hand Rejuvenation Aftercare

Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of your results depends on the treatment method. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume that can last from six months to over a year. Results from a fat transfer can be much longer-lasting, as the transferred fat cells integrate with the surrounding tissue, resulting in a natural appearance.
Patient comfort is a priority. Procedures involving injections are performed using a very fine needle, and a topical anesthetic may be applied beforehand to numb the area. Most patients report feeling only a slight pinch or pressure, not significant pain.
This depends on your specific goals and the treatment used. For dermal fillers, some patients achieve their desired volume in one session, while others may opt for a follow-up appointment. Laser treatments for pigmentation almost always require a series of sessions to achieve the final result.
We advise patients to avoid strenuous activities, especially those involving heavy lifting or a strong grip, for at least 24-48 hours. This helps to reduce swelling and allows the filler or fat to settle properly. Light activities, such as walking, are generally fine.
There is no "correct" age for this procedure. The best time for treatment is when you first begin to notice the appearance of your hands is bothering you , whether due to volume loss, thinning skin, or sun damage. Patients of various ages can be excellent candidates.
