Hand Rejuvenation London | Skin Laxity Treatment | Amer Clinic

Yes. The infra-red and radiofrequency energies used in this protocol are melanin-safe. The BBL settings will be patch-tested to ensure a safe and effective treatment for your specific skin type (Fitzpatrick I-V). This advanced hand rejuvenation protocol is designed to be safe across all skin tones. Energy-based settings are carefully adjusted and patch tested, ensuring effective collagen stimulation and pigment correction while protecting melanin-rich skin.

A light "snap-back" is often felt immediately after the treatment. The visible lift builds progressively over the next 8-12 weeks as your body's collagen network reorganises and strengthens. Some patients notice an immediate sense of firmness following treatment. However, visible tightening develops gradually over eight to twelve weeks as new collagen forms, strengthens the skin structure, and improves overall hand texture.

Discomfort is low and often described as a warm pressure. The tiny radiofrequency pinpricks resolve quickly. We use topical anaesthetic and cooled air to ensure comfort throughout. Treatment discomfort is minimal and typically described as gentle warmth or pressure. Topical numbing cream and cooling techniques are used throughout, allowing the procedure to remain comfortable while the skin’s regenerative response is activated.

The collagen gains from this unique protocol persist for up to two years. We recommend a single-session boost annually to maintain optimal results. Results from Sculptra for the hands are long lasting, with collagen regeneration continuing for many months. Improvements can persist for up to two years, with occasional maintenance sessions recommended to preserve skin quality.

We recommend avoiding heavy sweating and heat (such as a sauna or hot yoga) for 48 hours after your treatment to ensure the best possible healing and results. Light daily activity can be resumed immediately, but strenuous exercise and heat exposure should be avoided for forty eight hours. This allows the skin to settle properly and supports optimal collagen regeneration and healing.

Sculptra works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production deep beneath the surface. This gradual process helps restore lost volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture—revealing hands that look naturally fuller, firmer, and more youthful over time.

Side effects may include swelling, tenderness, or bruising, but these are typically mild and temporary. All treatments are tailored by trained medical professionals.

Anyone experiencing volume loss, prominent veins, or wrinkled skin on their hands can benefit; especially those seeking natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

Absolutely. At Amer Clinic, our Hand Rejuvenation (combination treatment) merges Sculptra with advanced laser and peel options for synergistic results. While Sculptra works beneath the surface to restore volume and build collagen, lasers (like Moxi™ or BBL® HEROic™) enhance texture, pigmentation, and skin tightness. Peels, such as our Obagi Radiance and Cosmelan formulations, further refine tone and clarity. Together, these therapies are carefully customised during your consultation to ensure smooth, volumised, and naturally youthful hands.

Yes, Sculptra can help make veins and tendons less visible in the hands. As it stimulates collagen production over time, the skin gradually becomes thicker and more voluminous. This added volume softens the appearance of prominent veins and tendons, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking hands.
