Even when you take excellent care of your skin, your hands can age faster than your face. Volume loss, visible veins, and thinning skin are common signs of aging that appear earlier and are harder to conceal. In Short Hills, New Jersey, hand rejuvenation treatments help restore a smoother, fuller appearance—so your hands reflect the same youthfulness as the rest of you.
Beverly Friedlander MD uses advanced fillers to treat hand aging at the source. These in-office treatments are quick, safe, and effective for patients throughout Morris County who want their hands to look as youthful as they feel.
What Is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation addresses common aging concerns by restoring volume, improving skin quality, and reducing visible signs like veins and tendons. This treatment is often performed using Radiesse or Restylane to plump the backs of the hands. These fillers smooth the appearance of tendons and veins, leaving your hands softer and more youthful in appearance.
Many patients also choose to combine resurfacing procedures, such as laser treatments or chemical peels, to address sunspots and texture changes.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for hand rejuvenation if your hands appear:Thinner or more skeletal than you’d like
- Hollow or fragile with prominent veins or tendons
- Aged in appearance compared to your face or neck
- Uneven in tone or texture due to sun damage
Dr. Bev will assess your skin and discuss your health history to determine the right approach for your needs.

What is the Treatment Like?
Hand rejuvenation with dermal filler is a quick, in-office treatment designed to restore lost volume and improve the appearance of aging hands. Over time, the hands naturally lose fat and collagen, which can make veins, tendons, and wrinkles more noticeable. During the procedure, a dermal filler—most commonly a hyaluronic acid–based product—is carefully injected into the back of the hands to replenish volume and soften visible signs of aging. The treatment is typically performed using a needle or cannula and may include a topical numbing cream to help maximize comfort.
The procedure usually takes about 20–30 minutes and requires little to no downtime. After treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. Results are visible soon after the injections, with the hands appearing fuller, smoother, and more youthful. Depending on the type of filler used and individual factors, results can last several months to over a year, and maintenance treatments can help prolong the improvement.
Recovery and Results
Filler-based hand rejuvenation typically involves minimal downtime. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to regular activities immediately, although it’s best to avoid strenuous use of the hands for 24 to 48 hours.
Results appear shortly after treatment and continue to refine as the product settles. With fillers, results can last up to a year.
