Hand Rejuvenation
If the appearance of your hands is making you feel older than you are, you're not alone. Hands are one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing.
Mr Rikki Mistry, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers advanced private hand rejuvenation treatments at clinics in East Grinstead, Chatham, and Tunbridge Wells - restoring a smoother, fuller and more youthful appearance with natural-looking, personalised results.
The signs of aging hands
As we age, the hands commonly develop volume loss, prominent veins and tendons, thinning skin, and pigmentation from years of sun exposure. Unlike the face, hands are often exposed to the elements but overlooked in skincare routines, meaning visible ageing can accelerate faster than expected.
Common concerns include:
-
Hollow or "bony" appearance from lost fat and soft tissue
-
Prominent, visible veins and tendons
-
Crepey, thin or fragile-looking skin
-
Uneven tone and sun-related pigmentation
-
An overall aged appearance that doesn't match how you feel
If your hands are giving away your age before your face does, hand rejuvenation can help restore a softer, more youthful look.
Hand Rejuvenation - What to Expect
Hand rejuvenation is typically delivered as a combined treatment approach, since ageing affects volume, skin quality and colour together - addressing all three creates the most natural, balanced result.
-
Fat Transfer (Hand Lipofilling) - Uses your own fat, usually taken from the abdomen or thighs, to restore lost volume and soften the appearance of veins and tendons, with long-lasting, natural results
-
Dermal Fillers - Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume with immediate results and minimal downtime, ideal for patients who prefer a non-surgical option
-
Skin Treatments - Medical-grade skincare, laser or light-based therapies, pigmentation treatments and chemical peels to improve tone and texture
At your consultation, Mr Mistry will assess your skin quality, volume loss and vein prominence, and recommend the treatment or combination best suited to your goals.

FAQ: Hand Rejuvenation
Why do hands show signs of ageing so noticeably?
Hands lose fat and soft tissue over time, making veins and tendons more visible, while the skin thins and becomes more prone to fine lines, creases and pigmentation from sun exposure. Because hands are frequently exposed to the elements but often left out of skincare routines, this ageing tends to become visible sooner than people expect.
What can hand rejuvenation actually improve?
It can address a hollow or bony appearance, prominent veins and tendons, crepey or thin skin, and uneven tone or pigmentation. The goal isn't to change how your hands function, but to restore a softer, healthier and more youthful look.
What treatments are used in a hand rejuvenation package?
Treatment is usually a combination approach, which may include fat transfer to restore volume, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for a non-surgical option with immediate results, and skin treatments such as medical-grade skincare, laser therapies, or chemical peels.
What is recovery like after hand rejuvenation?
Mild swelling, bruising or redness is common immediately afterwards, and hands may feel tight or tender. Bruising typically fades within 1-2 weeks, and most patients return to normal daily activities quickly.
Where does Mr Mistry perform hand rejuvenation treatments?
Mr Rikki Mistry holds private clinics in East Grinstead, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, where hand rejuvenation consultations and treatments are available.
How long do results last?
Initial improvement is often visible quickly, though fat transfer results continue to refine over several months. Results are long-lasting overall, particularly when supported by good skincare and consistent sun protection.
