Overview
Description
With age and sun exposure the backs of the hands lose fat and volume, becoming rough and crepey while veins and tendons grow more visible — often giving away one's age even when the face looks youthful. Special-area (hand) filler restores lost volume and smoothness to the backs of the hands, softening the appearance of prominent veins and tendons for plump, even, naturally youthful hands. Using high-purity, safety-approved hyaluronic-acid filler, the treatment rejuvenates hands affected by aging in a simple, non-surgical session.
Why it works
The essentials, at a glance
High-Purity, Safe Filler
We use KFDA- and FDA-approved fillers to minimize the risk of side effects.
Vein & Tendon Softening
Restored volume cushions the back of the hand so prominent veins and tendons appear less pronounced.
Firmer, Smoother Skin
HA promotes collagen response, improving the elasticity and tone of aged hand skin.
Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas
Each area is planned separately, based on your anatomy.
Back of the Hand
Filler restores volume and smoothness across the back of the hand for a plumper, more youthful look.
Between the Tendons
Volume in the grooves between tendons softens their prominence and evens the surface.
Over-Vein Areas
Added cushioning reduces the visibility of raised veins for a smoother appearance.
Who it's for

Where filler tends to make the most visible difference.
- Prominent veins and tendons on the backs of the hands
- Loss of hand volume from reduced underlying fat

Your visit
How the Procedure Works
What happens on the day, from consultation to aftercare.

Consultation & hand analysis — a HERA doctor assesses volume loss, skin quality and how prominent your veins and tendons are.
02
Design & marking — injection points are mapped across the back of the hand for even, natural volume.
03
Anesthesia — topical numbing cream is applied for a comfortable procedure.
04
Filler injection — high-purity HA filler is placed and spread evenly to cushion the back of the hand.
05
Shaping & smoothing check — the doctor gently molds the filler so the surface looks even and natural.
06
Aftercare guidance — care instructions are given and you can return to daily life right away.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions international patients ask us most.
Why do the hands often look older than the face?
The backs of the hands lose fat and elasticity with age and sun exposure, making veins and tendons more visible. Because hands are frequently exposed and often less cared for, they can reveal age even when the face looks youthful.
What filler is used and is it safe?
We use high-purity hyaluronic-acid fillers that are KFDA- and FDA-safety-approved, minimizing the risk of side effects. HA also supports collagen response to improve skin quality over time.
Does it hurt and how long does it take?
A hand session takes about 20–30 minutes. Topical anesthesia keeps discomfort minimal, so most patients feel only mild pressure during injection.
How long do the results last?
Volume and smoothness are visible immediately. Domestic fillers typically last 6–12 months and imported fillers 12–18 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
Is there any downtime or aftercare?
Downtime is minimal, but avoid strenuous hand use for a day or two. Mild swelling, redness or bruising may appear and usually settles within 2–3 days.
