Bony Hands

Description

"Bony hands," also known as veiny hands, skeletal hands, crepey hands, or thin skin on hands, describe a condition where the hands develop a sharp, angular look because of the loss of soft tissue under the skin.

Hand rejuvenation and hand fillers are popular solutions to restore lost volume, making hands look smoother and younger. If you’re worried about your hands looking bony or veiny, safe and affordable treatment options are available in South Korea, the global leader in cosmetic medical tourism.
