First 24–48 hours
Mild swelling, redness, or small raised bumps are common and temporary
Apply a cool compress if needed (avoid direct ice on skin)
Avoid:
Strenuous hand use (e.g. gym, heavy lifting)
Heat exposure (hot showers, saunas, steam rooms)
Alcohol, as it may increase swelling or bruising
Skincare and hygiene
Keep hands clean and well moisturised
Use a gentle, fragrance-free hand cream
Avoid active skincare (retinol, exfoliants, acids) for 3–5 days
Sun protection
Apply SPF 30 or higher daily to the hands
Avoid direct sun exposure for several days
UV exposure can affect healing and pigmentation outcomes
Bruising management
Minor bruising can occur and typically resolves within a few days
Arnica gel or similar products may help
Avoid unnecessary blood-thinning supplements unless prescribed
What to avoid
Do not massage or apply pressure to the treated area unless instructed
Avoid additional treatments (e.g. peels, laser) for 1–2 weeks
Benefits of TKN Skin Boosters for Hands
TKN skin boosters use polynucleotides to improve skin quality through regeneration rather than volume replacement.
Key benefits
Improved hydration and reduction in dryness
Stimulation of collagen production leading to firmer skin
Smoother texture with reduced fine lines and crepiness
More even skin tone and improved radiance
Reduced visibility of veins and tendons due to improved skin thickness
Benefits of Two Treatments
Typical protocol
Two sessions spaced approximately 3–4 weeks apart
Why two treatments are recommended
Cumulative collagen stimulationThe first session initiates regeneration. The second enhances and reinforces this process.
Improved longevityA single treatment may provide mild, short-term improvement. Two treatments produce more sustained results.
Enhanced skin qualityProgressive improvement in hydration, elasticity, and thickness occurs with repeated treatment.
More uniform outcomeThe second session allows refinement and balancing of areas that may have responded differently after the first treatment.
Expected Results Timeline
Early improvement: within 1–2 weeks
Optimal results: 4–8 weeks after the second session
Duration: typically 6–9 months depending on individual factors
When to Seek Advice
Increasing pain, severe swelling, or spreading redness
Signs of infection such as heat or discharge
Lumps persisting beyond several days
