Hand Treatments

When considering any aesthetic treatment, it is important to be informed about potential risks and to consider two key factors: the safety of the treatment process and the qualifications, training, and experience of the person performing it. Taking time to research your options is strongly recommended.

All medical procedures carry possible side‑effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. Treatments designed to restore or enhance facial features use a smooth gel‑based material placed beneath the skin. As with any procedure of this nature, temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, lumpiness or mild discomfort can occur and generally resolve within a few days with simple aftercare. In rare cases, more significant side‑effects such as infection, allergic reaction, granuloma, or tissue injury have been reported, and in extremely rare circumstances, visual changes or vision loss have been documented.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, our team is trained in emergency response and the management of all adverse events in line with recognised clinical safety guidelines. We follow strict protocols for safe treatment delivery and medical management should a complication arise. At your initial consultation, and at least every 12 months thereafter, you will have a consultation with one of our supervising medical practitioners, who will review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or health conditions that may affect your suitability for treatment.

Our clinical team undergoes ongoing professional development and participates in regular in‑clinic safety and skills training. We also stay current with industry safety standards and emergency protocols through professional memberships and conference attendance. For your safety, we only use products and devices supplied via approved Australian therapeutic channels and with established safety profiles.

The duration of hand rejuvenating products can vary, but they typically last between 6 months to 2 years. The longevity depends on factors like the type of product used, individual skin characteristics, and lifestyle. The products commonly used for hand rejuvenation, are known for their relatively long-lasting results.

Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

Hand treatments are generally safe when administered by experienced professionals, but like all cosmetic procedures, they carry some risk of side effects.

Common and temporary side effects may include mild swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or slight itching at the treatment site.

These effects usually subside within a few days. Less commonly, small lumps or unevenness under the skin may occur but are often easily managed with massage or minor adjustment. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or vascular compromise.

Your Cosmetic Nurse will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation and provide detailed aftercare to minimise any issues.

The human hand is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. Understanding the anatomy and composition of the hand is essential when it comes to administering hand treatment products effectively.

The hand consists of three major areas: the palm, the back of the hand, and the fingers. Each area is composed of various tissues and structures that work together to provide proper hand function.

Hand rejuvenation treatments are commonly administered to specific areas of the hand, such as the backs of the hands and the skin between the fingers. These areas often show signs of aging, including loss of volume, thinning skin, and the prominence of tendons and veins.

By targeting these specific areas, cosmetic specialists can restore volume, improve skin texture, and minimise the appearance of wrinkles and veins.

A thorough understanding of hand anatomy is essential for effective hand rejuvenation treatments. The complex structure of the hand requires precision and clinical expertise to ensure that gel-based formulations are placed accurately within the appropriate layers for safe and natural-looking results.

By considering the unique composition of each individual’s hand and customising the treatment accordingly, the Cosmetic Nurses at The Cosmetic Studio can achieve natural-looking results and enhance hand beauty effectively.

Hand rejuvenation treatments are generally not considered painful. Most patients report only mild discomfort. The treatment products often contain a local anaesthetic to ease any potential pain during the procedure.

Additionally, topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort further. The process is typically well-tolerated.

Aside from hand rejuvenating products, there are various other techniques and treatments available for overall hand rejuvenation. These may include:

• Laser skin resurfacing: This procedure uses laser technology to remove the outer layer of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
• Chemical peels: By applying a chemical solution to the skin, chemical peels can exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and younger-looking skin.
• Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy: IPL therapy uses high-intensity light to target and reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and pigmentation issues.
• Microdermabrasion: This non-invasive procedure involves gentle exfoliation of the skin, reducing fine lines, age spots, and acne scars.

These techniques are often combined to achieve optimal results in hand rejuvenation procedures. A comprehensive consultation with a hand surgeon or cosmetic specialist will help determine the best treatment plan for each individual.
