It works immediately upon injection, volumizing the treated area and additionally, as time goes on, the gel microspheres stimulate your naturally occurring collagen, leaving you with long-lasting natural results.

UltraClear Laser for Hand Rejuvenation
What is it?
UltraClear® laser hand treatment is a non-surgical resurfacing procedure designed to improve tone, texture, sun damage, and crepey skin on the hands. Because the hands are often one of the first areas to show aging, this treatment helps restore a smoother, brighter, more youthful appearance while maintaining a natural look.
How does it work?
UltraClear® uses advanced cold fiber laser technology to deliver controlled energy into the skin, creating precise micro-channels that stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal. This process helps fade discoloration, refine texture, and improve skin thickness and elasticity over time. The result is clearer, firmer, healthier-looking skin with gradual improvement over several weeks.
Is it right for me?
Hand rejuvenation with UltraClear® may be a good option if you’re noticing sun spots, thinning skin, fine lines, or uneven tone on your hands and want meaningful improvement without surgery. During your consultation, we evaluate your skin type, degree of sun damage, and goals to determine whether UltraClear® alone or in combination with other treatments will provide the most balanced, long-term result.
What can I expect after? For UltraClear® laser hand treatments, most patients can expect about 5–7 days of visible downtime.
During the first few days, it’s normal to experience redness, mild swelling, and a warm or tight sensation. You may notice some light surface dryness and a slightly rough texture as the skin renews. You will want to keep the area well moisturized and protected from sun exposure. Over the following weeks, pigment continues to fade and collagen remodeling improves skin thickness and smoothness. Hands require diligent sun protection during healing to protect your results and prevent new discoloration.
Renuva for Hand Rejuvenation
What is it?
Renuva is an injectable treatment designed to restore lost volume in areas where fat has naturally thinned over time. In the hands, it helps soften the appearance of prominent veins, tendons, and bony contours, creating a smoother, more youthful look while maintaining natural movement and texture.
How does it work?
Renuva is an off-the-shelf adipose matrix that acts as a scaffold for your body to gradually replace with your own fat cells. Once injected beneath the skin, it supports tissue regeneration and stimulates your body to rebuild volume over time. Results appear gradually and can continue to improve as your body integrates the matrix and generates new fat.
Is Renuva right for me?
Renuva may be a good option if you are noticing hollowing or thinning on the backs of your hands and want longer-term, natural volume restoration without harvesting your own fat. It is especially helpful for patients who want subtle, regenerative improvement rather than a traditional filler look. A consultation allows us to assess your degree of volume loss and determine whether Renuva alone or combined with laser treatment will give you the most balanced result.
What is my downtime?
Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for several days after treatment. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with gradual improvement in contour over the following weeks as your body begins to regenerate its own fat cells.
