In the world of medical aesthetics, our face is often the focal point. We employ many advanced methods to smooth wrinkles, revitalize skin, and restore lost volume. But what about our hands? Our hands, which bear the brunt of daily life and are exposed to the sun, water, and external factors just as much as our faces, are unfortunately often neglected in our care routines.

The result? No matter how young and dynamic our face may look, our hands, with their blemishes, visible veins and thinning skin texture, become silent indicators that reveal our true age, and sometimes even more.

At Dr. Filiz Gültekin, I approach aesthetics holistically in my clinic. I implement the most effective solutions offered by modern medical aesthetics to help you achieve youthful, smooth hands that complement the radiance and health of your face. Hand rejuvenation is not a single procedure; it's a holistic approach that focuses on multiple issues simultaneously.

Why and How Do Our Hands Age?

The skin on the back of the hand is much thinner and more delicate than that on our face. There's also very little subcutaneous tissue underneath. As we age, this thin layer of fat melts away even more.

Two other things happen simultaneously in this process:

1. Loss of Collagen and Elastin: These proteins, the building blocks of our skin, decrease. Skin loses its elasticity, firmness, and moisture.
2. Sun Damage: After years of unprotected sun exposure, melanin pigment accumulates unevenly on our hands, causing brown spots called “sun spots” or “age spots” (lentigo).

As a result, we encounter three main problems: volume loss, blemishes and deterioration in skin quality.

A Multifaceted Treatment Plan for Hand Rejuvenation

When evaluating our patients who come to our clinic with a request for "hand rejuvenation," we create a personalized treatment map by taking these three main problems into consideration.

Problem 1: Volume Loss, “Bony” and “Veiny Hand Appearance”

As fatty tissue on the back of the hand decreases with age, the underlying tendons and veins become more visible, giving the hands a "bony" and aged appearance.

Solution: Hand Filler (Hyaluronic Acid) The fastest and most effective solution to this problem is hand filler. Just as with the sagging areas of our face, we use cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers specifically formulated for the hands.

• How is it applied? After the anesthetic cream is applied, the procedure is performed by inserting a blunt-tipped needle just under the skin, which generally does not damage the vessels and tissues. cannulas The filler spreads over the back of the hand, instantly restoring the lost volume in that area.
• The result: Visible veins and tendon depressions are camouflaged. The back of the hand becomes fuller, smoother, and more youthful. Hyaluronic acid's water-retaining capacity also provides overall hydration and revitalization.

Problem 2: Sun and Age Spots

Those brown spots that accumulate over the years are one of the most important targets of hand rejuvenation.

Solution: Spot Mesotherapy and Chemical Peeling We can combine two powerful methods in the treatment of spots:

• Spot Mesotherapy: One of the most modern answers to the question, "How do I get rid of spots on my hands?" We inject special spot-lightening mesotherapy cocktails (vitamin C, glutathione, tranexamic acid, etc.) directly into the affected skin layer using very fine needles. This both treats the spot from within and suppresses the formation of new spots.
• Chemical Peel (TCA, Glycolic Acid): Aims to peel the top, blemished layer of the skin in a controlled manner. This allows for a fresher, blemish-free, and renewed skin texture to emerge from underneath.

Problem 3: Thinning Skin, Wrinkles, and Dryness

When the skin loses collagen, it becomes thin, like paper, dries and wrinkles easily.

Solution: Youth Vaccine and Moisture Vaccine Our aim at this point is not to make “fillers” but to improve the quality of the skin from the inside.

• Moisture Vaccinations (Pure Hyaluronic Acid): Provides intense moisture to the skin, helps to reduce fine wrinkles and makes the skin look brighter and healthier.
• Youth Vaccine (H-100, Salmon DNA, etc.): These biostimulatory products trigger the skin's own repair mechanisms. They stimulate cells called fibroblasts in the skin, encouraging them to regenerate their own collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, more elastic skin tissue that thickens over time.

The Right Planning for You

As you can see, hand rejuvenation is not a single step.

During our consultation, I'll thoroughly analyze your hands. Perhaps you simply need fillers for volume loss. Perhaps we'll prioritize a hand mesotherapy protocol for blemishes. We often achieve the best and most striking results by combining these methods in the right order and timing.

During and after the treatment process, your most important supporter for the permanence of the results will be the habit of using sunscreen.

Your hands are part of your beauty

Don't spare your hands the same care you give your face. They, too, deserve to be rejuvenated and revitalized.

To ensure that your hands reflect your elegance, not the traces of time, you can make an appointment at our clinic and together we can create your personalized hand rejuvenation protocol.
