Hand Rejuvenation with Radiesse® in New Orleans, LA | Dr. Burkenstock's Skin Body Health

Most people invest significantly in facial anti-aging treatments, but the hands are often the first place age becomes undeniable. Unlike the face, the hands are constantly exposed to sun, environmental damage, and daily wear a nd they have very little fat to begin with, so volume loss happens faster and more visibly.

At Dr. Burkenstock’s Skin Body Health in New Orleans, we treat hand aging as seriously as facial aging. Because your hands should match how you feel.

What Makes Hands Look Older?

Schedule a consultation today to learn h

As we age, the hands undergo several distinct changes:

Volume loss — the fat padding beneath the skin diminishes, making tendons, veins, and bones increasingly prominent
Skin thinning — reduced collagen and elastin production leads to crepe-like, fragile skin
Sun damage — age spots, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture from years of UV exposure
Loss of skin elasticity — skin no longer snaps back the way it once did

These changes are natural, but they don’t have to be permanent.

Radiesse® Hand Rejuvenation: How It Works

We use Radiesse®, an FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler that is uniquely suited for hand rejuvenation. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse® works in two distinct ways:

Immediate volumization — Radiesse® instantly restores lost volume beneath the skin, smoothing the appearance of prominent tendons and veins and giving hands a fuller, softer look.

Long-term collagen stimulation — The CaHA microspheres in Radiesse® act as a scaffold that stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production over time. This means results continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.

Radiesse® is the only filler FDA-approved specifically for hand rejuvenation, which is why it is our preferred choice for this treatment.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® at Dr. Burkenstock’s is a straightforward, in-office procedure with no surgery and minimal downtime.

The process typically looks like this:

Consultation — We assess the degree of volume loss, skin quality, and your goals to determine the right treatment plan
Preparation — The treatment area is cleaned and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort
Injection — Radiesse® is carefully injected into the back of the hands using precise technique to distribute volume naturally
Aftercare guidance — You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions before leaving

Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.

Is Hand Rejuvenation Right for You?

Hand rejuvenation with Radiesse® is well-suited for adults who are experiencing:

Prominent veins or tendons on the back of the hands
A hollow or sunken appearance
Thinning, crepey skin texture
Visible signs of volume loss that make hands look older than the face

A consultation with Dr. Burkenstock will determine whether Radiesse® is appropriate for you, and whether combining it with other treatments such as laser skin resurfacing for pigmentation or texture would give you more complete results.

FAQs:

Does hand rejuvenation hurt?

Most patients describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable at most. A topical numbing agent is used to maximize comfort, and Radiesse® contains lidocaine to further reduce any sensation during injection.

How long does Radiesse® last in the hands?

Results typically last 12 to 18 months. Individual results vary depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and skin condition.

Can hand rejuvenation be combined with other treatments?

Radiesse® hand rejuvenation with treatments for age spots or skin texture, such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels, for more comprehensive results. Dr. Burkenstock will discuss the best combination approach during your consultation.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. Some patients experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days. Most return to normal activities immediately.
