Will a Fat Transfer Help Reduce The Appearance of Hand Wrinkles?

Throughout history, people have been fascinated by beauty, regardless of gender. The body has long been the focus of different art forms, from Renaissance paintings to Greek sculptures. Additionally, various body parts have been used to express the beauty standards of the time. 

One constant has been that the hands have always been considered an essential element in these art forms, traditionally to denote a privileged status.

Over the centuries, artists have depicted hands and their appearance in meaningful ways. In modern times, gorgeous, soft skin, beautifully filed nails, and long fingers have also been considered attractive. 

Therefore, there is a considerable demand for hand care products and treatments, including in rapidly growing cities like Austin. 

People now have several options to improve the aesthetic appearance of their hands. Fat transfer, or fat graft, can give you a better and more beautiful hand by counteracting the signs of aging. Fat grafting is also commonly used in aesthetic procedures to naturally enhance the breasts or buttocks.

What Is a Fat Transfer?

A fat transfer (fat grafting) is a procedure in which fat is used to improve the aesthetic appearance of a specific body part by adding volume. Fat is extracted from other body parts, such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, arms, or back. After the fat is removed via liposuction, it is purified by separating the individual fat cells from the blood and other material. The purified fat is then carefully injected into the desired areas of the body.

Can a Fat Transfer Help With Hand Wrinkles?

Fat grafting is a great way to rejuvenate the hands by masking wrinkles and fine lines. 

By injecting small, targeted amounts of purified fat into the wrist, surgeons can plump up the hands and fingers. This restores a younger-looking pair of hands and naturally delivers a smooth appearance.

What Are The Different Techniques To Rejuvenate Hands?

There are several hand rejuvenation procedures for people who want to look more youthful. In addition to aesthetic reasons, hand rejuvenation is used to address functional and cosmetic problems resulting from reconstructive surgeries.

Some of the most prominent hand rejuvenation procedures include:

1. Fat transfer increases hand volume and counteracts signs of aging.
2. Laser ablation can be used to reduce the visibility of unwanted veins and small blood vessels on the hands.
3. Fillers are designed to improve volume in the area and reduce wrinkles.
4. Laser treatments promote the natural renewal of youthful skin.
5. Chemical peels can improve skin texture.

Elite Body Sculpture Reigns Supreme For Hand Rejuvenation Fat Transfers

Patented AirSculpt® technology is the optimal tool for transferring fat from one body area to the hands.

While traditional fat grafting uses scalpels, needles, stitches, and even in some cases, general anesthesia, our AirSculpt® Hand Rejuvenation fat transfer does not.

Our use of minimally invasive tools guarantees that you'll be awake during the entire procedure and won't have to deal with many of the potential risks associated with traditional surgical practices. 

The patented AirSculpt® cannula we use to extract and inject fat into your hands revolves 1,000 times per minute, allowing fat to be plucked and injected cell by cell through tiny two-millimeter-wide entry points. These end up looking like freckles on the wrist at worst. The most you'll feel is a slight vibration sensation on your hands. Patients return to their daily lives within one to two days and can begin heavy exercise after just two weeks.
