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.
