Hand Filler in Seoul |
Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
Hands are often the first place to show age, yet they are easy to forget in a skincare routine. At Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic, hand filler restores soft, natural volume to the back of the hands so they match a youthful face.
What is hand filler?
With time, the back of the hand loses fat and collagen. Skin becomes thinner, and veins, tendons and knuckle bones stand out more. Hand filler places a smooth hyaluronic acid filler in a thin layer under the skin, cushioning these structures and giving the hand a fuller, softer look.
The goal is not "puffy" hands. It is simply to bring back the gentle padding that was there a few years ago.
Who is it for?
Hand filler may suit you if:
- Veins and tendons are very prominent on the back of your hands
- Your hands look bony or older than your face
- You want a non-surgical option with little downtime
It is not suitable if you have an infection, open wound or eczema flare on the hands, active rheumatoid arthritis or recent hand surgery, a bleeding disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If your main concern is brown age spots, filler will not change them; laser treatment is usually a better first step.
Benefits
- Softens the look of visible veins and tendons
- Smoother, more youthful-looking hands
- Short treatment, usually under 30 minutes
- Natural feel and full movement of the hands
Your treatment at EU:GENES
In a private 1:1 consultation, Dr. Jung Yoo-jin looks at your hands with fingers spread and relaxed, and in different lighting, to see where volume is missing. She also asks about your work and hobbies, since how you use your hands affects the plan.
The doctor personally performs the treatment. Numbing cream is applied, then filler is placed through a few tiny entry points, often with a cannula, and gently massaged to spread evenly. We then review aftercare with you before you leave.
Results & how long they last
Results are visible straight away and look more natural after a week, once swelling has settled. Hand filler typically lasts around 6 to 12 months for most patients, as hands move constantly. Many people schedule a top-up once or twice a year. Pairing filler with a skin booster can also improve the texture of thin, crepey skin.
Downtime, aftercare & possible side effects
Expect swelling for two to five days, which can make rings feel tight, so remove them before treatment. Keep your hands raised when possible on the first evening, and avoid heavy lifting, gym work and hot baths for 48 hours.
Bruising, tenderness and temporary stiffness are common and short-lived. Less often, small lumps can form; these usually respond to massage. Infection and vascular problems are rare but possible, so please contact us if you notice increasing pain, redness or color change in the skin.
FAQ
Can I use my hands normally afterward?
Yes, for everyday tasks. Just avoid strenuous gripping and heavy exercise for a couple of days.
Will my veins disappear completely?
No. The veins remain and work normally; filler simply makes them less prominent.
Can I treat my hands and face on the same day?
Often yes. The doctor will advise on the total amount and order during your consultation.
