Even though we may make every effort to conceal signs of aging with facial and body treatments, our true age can still be revealed by our hands. Over time, the thinner skin of the back of our hands begin to show the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen loss.
Hand fillers applied by our medical injector Shelly Montante can quickly treat signs of aging on the hands to provide a naturally youthful appearance. To learn more about hand fillers in Richmond and our other non-surgical procedures, connect with our elite medical team today.
What Is Hand Filler Treatment?
Hand filler treatments in Richmond are the best way to achieve smooth hand skin and combat the aesthetic concerns that can make you appear much older than you are. Most of our patients are familiar with injectable facial fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm. These hyaluronic acid-based treatments are used to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, restore volume and bounce to the skin, promote collagen production, and address other skin texture issues such as scarring. Best of all, they make the skin look healthy and youthful.
Dermal fillers can also be safely used to treat the signs of aging on the hands in much of the same ways they are used on the face. When applied to the back of the hands, dermal fillers add volume and fullness, reducing the appearance of crepey skin, wrinkles, and the tendons, bones, and veins that become more apparent with volume loss.

The Hand Filler Injection Procedure
Hand filler injections are performed in-house at our Richmond clinic by our professionally licensed cosmetic medical injector, Shelly Montante. During your treatment, we will first cleanse your hands and, if necessary, apply a topical anesthetic prior to injection. For many of our patients, however, the anesthetic is not necessary.
The injections themselves are generally painless and typically take less than an hour. It feels like any other injection or vaccine. The amount of filler you need will depend on your goals and the extensiveness of your concerns. Following the procedure, your hands will be thoroughly cleansed again, and you may be given an ice pack to reduce swelling if necessary. There is little to no downtime required, and most people are able to return to their daily activities immediately following their injections.
Are Hand Filler Results Permanent?
From the moment you leave our clinic, you will notice a significant improvement in the appearance of your hands from your hand filler procedure. Results will continue to appear gradually over the following days as any swelling and bruising subsides.
Filler is naturally broken down by the body over time. Results from hand fillers will typically last up to a year. In order to prolong your beautiful results, hand fillers should be maintained with touch-up appointments.
Restore Your Youthfulness With Hand Fillers in Richmond
Aging visibly manifests on the hands. Many of our clients make the mistake of only getting work done to their faces, while neglecting the rest of their body. With the development of skin folds, wrinkles, and gradual loss of collagen, your hands will immediately give away your real age or make you appear older than you are.
