Thank you for your question!I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you and see if there are safer approaches to achieving your desired results.At my practice, an approach I like to use for the hands to rejuvenate them, is a combination of fillers like Radiesse and Belotero, fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and lasers like Fraxel.  I also recommend medical-grade skin care to improve the appearance of your hands and/or maintain treatment results such as iS SHEALD Recovery Balm found at Emeragecosmetics.com, along with free consultations with one of my Skin Care Specialists. (link below).Again, I recommend seeing at expert.Best, Dr. Emer

I appreciate your concern, but no. This is not a good idea as it could affect functions of the hand. Instead, consider PRP injections.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Thanks you for your question.  I would not recommend any procedure that might impact your finger's range of motion or function and would caution against creating any unnecessary scars that could interfere with your range of motion.  Best of luck!
