How much does hand rejuvenation cost? In Houston, the average cost of hand rejuvenation typically ranges from $700 to 2,500. The total cost for your hand rejuvenation will depend on factors such as the type of technique you choose to rejuvenate your hands, the location of your procedure, and other miscellaneous expenses. At Studio Essex by Heights Plastic Surgery, we accept cash and all major credit cards. We are also happy to offer financing through CareCredit® for patients. Because hand rejuvenation is typically more about cosmetic appearance and is less of a medical necessity, it is not covered by most insurance plans.
How does Studio Essex make my hands look younger? Hand rejuvenation is a procedure done in the comfort of our inviting office that typically takes under an hour to complete. Dr. Downey or Dr. Bullocks can perform the following hand rejuvenation techniques in a two-step process. Laser skin resurfacing. The gentle application of laser technology improves textural irregularities and uneven skin tone on your hands. To accomplish this, the application of Broadband Light (BBL) or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) may be used. Dermal Fillers. To plump up sunken areas on the hands, injectable fillers are used after laser skin resurfacing treatment. There are different types of injectables that can be used for hand rejuvenation including fat transfer and Sculptra® Fat transfer can be accomplished during one to two outpatient office procedures and, though you may require touch-ups as the aging process continues, the volume placed is permanent. Fillers are a temporary solution that will need to be repeated every four months to two years, depending on the product used.
Is there a recovery period or downtime after getting hand filler or laser treatments for the hands? 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.
