Hand Rejuvenation in Cincinnati

IPL excels at improving the appearance of sun spots and hyperpigmentation. You might hear us refer to these sun exposure effects as “photoaging.” It is often the most visible in your face, neck, chest, and hands.

During your hand rejuvenation in Cincinnati, Dr. Welden, or one of our other providers, uses an advanced device that shines multiple wavelengths of pulsating light onto your skin. The light targets a particular color in your skin. As IPL heats your skin, your body gets rid of the cells responsible for concerns like sun spots and hyperpigmentation. The light does not affect your skin’s tissue, and you heal from the process very quickly. The result is a more even skin tone and youthful-looking hands.

Fillers are more commonly known to restore lost volume to facial skin. When used on hands, they soften the appearance of the tops of hands beautifully.

During treatment, we can use the same dermal fillers we use for facial appearance on your hands. Your provider administers the injectable precisely to the areas that need rejuvenation the most. Improvements will continue to develop as your skin experiences a boost in collagen and elastin production. The result is restored volume and youthful beauty to your hands.

To ensure your treatment for hand rejuvenation in Cincinnati is effective, our providers recommend adhering to the following guidelines:

Things to Do:

• Tell us about any medications and supplements you take. It’s important for us to know ahead of treatment, as some medications can increase the risk of bruising after a filler treatment.

Things to Avoid:

• Refrain from alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. Alcohol can increase the risk for post-treatment bruising.
• Avoid sun exposure, deliberate tanning, and anything else that changes the color of your skin.

Things to Do:

• Schedule your follow-up sessions based on your personalized treatment plan.
• Apply sunscreen to your hands to prevent sun damage as your skin heals.
• Keep your hands well moisturized.
• Be sure to apply sunscreen to your hands each day.

Things to Avoid:

• Avoid using retinoids, exfoliating creams, and skincare products that contain glycolic acid for 1 week post-treatment.
• Refrain from picking at your skin. The roughness you may experience from IPL is a part of the natural healing process.

You may be a good candidate for hand rejuvenation in Cincinnati if you:

• Want a noninvasive procedure that addresses your unique hand-related aesthetic concerns.
• Want to address the signs of aging on your hands.

No, neither of the hand rejuvenation treatment options should cause you any pain. For IPL treatment, you will feel some heat paired with tingling on your hands as the treatment progresses. For fillers, Dr. Welden and the aesthetic team will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure you have a painless experience. As we inject the filler into your hands, you may feel a slight tingling or pinch on your skin. The pinching feeling is temporary.

No, your results will not be permanent. Your rejuvenation results from IPL and fillers may last for 6 months to 1 year, depending on your unique hands. During your consultation for hand rejuvenation in Cincinnati, we provide a treatment plan to help you achieve and maintain your best results.
