Hands are as visible as the human face. They are exposed to the sun, heat, weather elements and pollution. Hands, therefore, begin showing signs of ageing and damage very quickly.
Beautiful, even-toned hands make a person feel more confident in their personal and professional life. Protruding veins, sagging skin can make anyone feel conscious and uncomfortable.
Keeping this in mind, Mumbai’s Vanity Cosmetic Clinic has come up with the Hand Rejuvenation Cosmetic procedure. Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Director of the Clinic offers not just one but multiple ways of restoring your youthful hands. These methods are safe, effective and have minimal downtime.

What Is
hand rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation is an umbrella term that covers a variety of minimally invasive and non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can eliminate the signs of ageing and damage due to weather and pollution. These treatments target only the hands of the patient and hence prove to be super effective.
Hand Rejuvenation has become popular as anti-ageing treatment at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai along with Facial Rejuvenation procedures to give patients a totally transformed, younger version of themselves.
Dr Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon performs Hand Rejuvenation with the highest care and precision to ensure WOW results with total safety.
What are the
different hand rejuvenation methods?
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai prides itself on bringing the best technology and best treatments for its patients. Even for Hand Rejuvenation, we offer different methods. They are as follows:
Fillers:
Dermal Fillers is a popular anti-ageing treatment choice amongst patients all over the world. Fillers get rid of wrinkles, fine lines and add volume to the hands. Restylane and Juvederm are US-FDA fillers which may be used by Dr Santosh Bhatia for your treatment.
Fat Grafting:
Hand Rejuvenation by Fat Grafting involves suctioning out excess fat from another part of the body and injecting purified fat into the hands. This minimally invasive method restores lost volume to the hands. Another advantage is that since the fat is taken from the patient’s body and injected back into his body there are no issues with absorption, making it safe.
Sclerotherapy
Prominent veins on the hand dampen the overall appearance of the person. In Sclerotherapy a chemical is injected by Dr Santosh Bhatia which essentially eliminates the presence of such prominent veins. This restores the hand to their normal size and looks. This is also considered an effective treatment for Varicose Veins.
Laser Treatments:
Laser treatments using the latest technology of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai to combat signs of ageing and sun damage. Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon offers two types of Laser Treatments:
- Ablative Lasers: Ablative skin resurfacing results in vaporizing of tissue. This vaporizing of tissue generally initiates a healing process wherein new collagen production is observed. Ablative lasers work on the superficial layers of the skin and thus help in solving issues like sun damage, fine lines or small blemishes. The most common types of ablative lasers involve Ebrium YAG and CO2.
- Non-Ablative Lasers: Non-Ablative lasers generally penetrate deeper to reach the dermis and the epidermis. They not only stimulate collagen production, but also skin growth. This helps to solve more complex problems like long term sun damage and scarring.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy:
Sometimes it’s not just prominent veins but also dark spots that affect the hands. IPL therapy is the best treatment available at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai to eliminate the problem of dark spots.
IPL involves using high powered light waves to remove discolouration from the skin on the hands. This is performed by Dr Santosh Bhatia with complete accuracy and helps in making the skin even-toned and younger.
Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels are a completely non-invasive method of hand rejuvenation. Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai has designed chemical peels with different chemical combinations to help in restoring the glow of the skin on the hands. Chemical peels also give the skin’s health a positive boost thus improving their health from within.
Chemical peels are a popular choice amongst our patients because of the zero downtime and simplicity of the treatment.
Skin Excision:
In some cases, patients seem to have loose or sagging skin on their hands. For such patients, Dr Santosh Bhatia offers skin excision as a hand rejuvenation treatment. In this procedure excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is tightened around the hand. This process makes the hands look younger and taut.
Who Is
an ideal candidate for hand rejuvenation?
Even though all hand rejuvenation treatments are either minimally invasive or non-invasive, Vanity Cosmetic Clinic still has some basic guidelines through which we decide whether or not a patient is fit for Hand Rejuvenation treatments.
They are as follows:
- An individual who is overall in good health
- An individual whose hands show prominent veins and tendons because of volume loss
- Candidate has realistic expectations from the surgery.
- An individual whose hands are wrinkled and thin
- An individual who has age spots on the hands
- An individual who could benefit mentally and physically from the improved skin tone and colour.
Please note that not every individual will show all of the above signs of ageing or sun damage. Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon will decide whether or not a candidate should undergo these treatments based on a personal evaluation.
These treatments are gender-neutral, hence both men and women can undergo them.

How Is
hand rejuvenation performed at vanity cosmetic clinic?
As we have mentioned above Dr Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon offers different methods of Hand Rejuvenation to his patients.
We will discuss each method briefly:
- Fillers: The hands are properly cleaned. Anaesthesia is not required as it is a minimally invasive procedure. However, some fillers contain a local anaesthetic like lidocaine to enhance comfort during injection. A topical anaesthetic may also be used in certain cases. The needles used for injecting are thin and short, thus the pain is minimal. Utmost care is taken to inject the filler properly so as to avoid any damage to the underlying structure and to prevent any nerve damage. The quantity of the injectable liquid depends on the individual’s unique case. It can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to complete the procedure.
- Fat Grafting: In the fat grafting procedure, the doctor will extract fat from other parts of the body using liposuction. This fat is then collected injected into the patient’s hands. Many patients prefer fat grafting based hand rejuvenation because bodily fat is a natural substance and will be accepted by the body without any allergic reaction.
- Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is effective for medium-sized blood vessels (greater than 3 mm in diameter). A US- FDA approved sclerosant solution is injected into the vein with a micro-needle. The vein turns white (blanches) and gradually disappears. There is little if any discomfort when undergoing treatment and there is no downtime.
- Laser Treatments: Laser treatments are an outpatient procedure. That is, one does not need to stay at the hospital overnight for the process. As the process is non-invasive, a topical anaesthetic is sufficient. However, in some cases, local anaesthesia might be given to avoid any discomfort. The type of laser according to the situation is decided upon. Laser Hand Rejuvenation is performed with the help of either Ablative Lasers or Non-Ablative Lasers at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic. Both these methods use different wavelengths of lasers which penetrate differently into the skin surface to correct the issue at hand.
- IPL Therapy: The patient’s hands are cleaned completely to avoid interaction of moisturisers or sunscreen with the beams of light. Dr Bhatia then uses the handheld IPL device on the targeted area at a range of power he deems fit for the patient. The patient does not feel any discomfort and the treatment has minimal downtime.
- Chemical Peels: Dr Santosh Bhatia will clean the patient’s hands and prepare them for the chemical peel. The chemical peel is then applied to the hands and left to work its magic for a fixed duration. Once the duration is completed Dr Bhatia will remove the peel and let the skin begin its recovery process.
- Skin Excision: Dr Santosh Bhatia may give the patient a local anaesthetic to make him/her comfortably numb. Once the anaesthesia sets in, he will remove the excess skin and tighten the remaining skin around the hands, The newly tightened skin will be closed with sutures and bandaged.
During each of these treatments Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai prioritises patient safety and best results.
What Is
the recovery process for hand rejuvenation?
Essentially all hand rejuvenation treatments have a very small amount of recovery time. Typically patients are instructed to avoid exposing the freshly treated hands to the sun or other elements like heat or water.
Some treatments may result in mild bruising or swelling, in such cases use of ice packs is prescribed.
Other specific instructions will be provided by Dr Santosh Bhatia during your consultation.
What are
the risks associated with hand rejuvenation?
Following are the risks associated with Hand Rejuvenation:
