Often our hands’ skin shows brown spots from sun exposure. Today, there are options to give your hands a more youthful appearance. Using fillers such as Juvederm® or Restylane® our surgeons can re-plump and replenish the natural volume to the back of the hands to provide a more supple and youthful appearance. Longer lasting options include fat transfer to your hands. For sun-damaged skin, laser and other techniques can improve the surface of your skin and get rid of some of the brown-pigmentation and uneven texture of the skin. Our plastic surgeons offer several options to improve the appearance of your hands.
