We know that changes in the skin on the hands are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of the hands.
Our clinic can provide consultations about hand treatment. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate for you.
Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Hand Treatment
What may be discussed in consultation
For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:
the appearance of skin texture on the hands
the appearance of skin tone variations
the appearance of skin that feels or appears less supple
These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether any cosmetic procedures may be appropriate.
How treatment planning works
After reviewing your medical history and examining the hands, your practitioner may discuss non-surgical cosmetic options that could be considered.
Examples of options that may be discussed include:
light-based or energy-based procedures used with device-specific settings where appropriate
skin-directed procedures that may be included in a cosmetic treatment plan
skincare and sun-protection advice relevant to hand care
The type of procedure, number of sessions and timing are determined after consultation and clinical assessment.
In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach or no procedure.
Safety, Risks and Aftercare
All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
review your medical history, medications and relevant health information
examine the treatment area
explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed
discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications
Risks associated with procedures may include:
redness or swelling
dryness or peeling
skin sensitivity or irritation
pigmentation changes
infection or delayed healing
temporary muscle weakness
uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
