Is there a recovery period or downtime after getting hand filler or laser treatments for the hands? January 24, 2023 Because hand rejuvenation is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure, there is no formal downtime or recovery period associated with your treatment. While swelling, bruising, and mild tenderness may occur following your hand rejuvenation treatment, these symptoms typically subside on their own after just two to three days. Patients who come in for hand rejuvenation are able to return to work and their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
