Fat Grafting for hands
Not all fat grafting is created equal. Structural fat grafting involves small amounts (less than 0.1 cc at a time) of fat being carefully microinjected in a series of discrete layers to gradually 'build' new soft tissue structure. As there is space between each microinjection, new blood vessels are able to grow into the grafted fat, allowing it to persist.

Fillers for hands

IPL treatments of the brown spots and PhotoFacials of the hands, along with microdermabrasion and light TCA peels are all options as well.
