Turn Back the Clock: Hand Rejuvenation at Olympia Aesthetics
Our hands are one of the most expressive parts of our bodies, constantly in use and exposed to the elements. While they tell the story of our lives through years of experience, they also tend to be one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Sun damage, volume loss, and decreased collagen production can lead to wrinkles, age spots, prominent veins and tendons, and a crepey, thin appearance. If you’re looking to restore a more youthful and vibrant look to your hands, hand rejuvenation at Olympia Aesthetics in Palm Harbor, Florida, can help.
What Causes Our Hands to Age?
Several factors contribute to the aging process in our hands:
- Sun Exposure: Cumulative sun exposure is a leading cause of premature aging. UV rays break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that give our skin its structure and elasticity. This leads to wrinkles, age spots, and a leathery texture.
- Volume Loss: As we age, we naturally lose fat and collagen throughout our bodies, including our hands. This loss of volume can make veins and tendons more prominent, giving the hands a bony or skeletal appearance.
- Decreased Collagen Production: Collagen is essential for maintaining skin’s firmness and plumpness. As collagen production declines with age, the skin on our hands becomes thinner, less resilient, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to harsh chemicals, frequent hand washing, and dry climates can also contribute to dryness, irritation, and premature aging of the hands.
What is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation encompasses a range of treatments designed to address the visible signs of aging in the hands. These treatments aim to:
- Restore lost volume
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Minimize the prominence of veins and tendons

How Does Hand Rejuvenation Work?
At Olympia Aesthetics, we offer Radiesse, a unique dermal filler that goes beyond simply adding volume. Radiesse is a bio-stimulator that promotes your body’s natural collagen and elastin production for long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. When injected into the hands, these microspheres provide immediate volume and lift, while also stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This dual-action approach helps to:
- Restore volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles: The CaHA microspheres provide immediate volumization, smoothing out wrinkles and plumping the skin.
- Improve skin firmness and elasticity: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Radiesse helps to improve the skin’s underlying structure, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking hands.
- Provide long-lasting results: The collagen-stimulating effects of Radiesse can last for a year or more, providing extended benefits compared to traditional fillers.
Benefits of Hand Rejuvenation with Radiesse
- Natural-looking results: Radiesse provides subtle, natural-looking results that enhance the appearance of your hands without looking artificial.
- Long-lasting improvement: The collagen-stimulating effects of Radiesse provide long-lasting results, extending the benefits of the treatment.
- Improved skin quality: Radiesse not only adds volume but also improves skin firmness and elasticity for a more youthful texture.
- Minimal downtime: You can resume most of your normal activities immediately following the treatment.
- Improved self-confidence: Rejuvenating the appearance of your hands can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, Radiesse is injected into targeted areas on the back of your hands using a fine needle. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days.
After the treatment, you can return to your normal activities. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
