Hand Rejuvenation Solutions

Who may consider hand rejuvenation procedures?

Aged hands happen because even though your body has amazing self healing properties, time and nature are relentless. Sun damage causes skin to darken. Gravity pulls at elastin and collagen (two critical skin integrity proteins) and makes them degrade. Fat and muscle atrophy, and skin thins making your veins pop out even if you haven’t just finished a lifting session. Use the overview below, and the happy thoughts from above, to specifically identify your concern.

• Age Spots: These are the hyperpigmented areas that appear on the back of the hands and then seem to multiply exponentially.
• Crepey Skin: Thin, wrinkled, and worn. That’s how we’d describe crepey skin-nowhere near as nice as crepes.
• Veins: These blood vessels look like they are trying to escape your body. It’s not their fault-everyone else just got smaller.

What can you expect from hand rejuvenation procedures?

Hand rejuvenation techniques can target a few different areas. They can promote the body to produce collagen and elastin, enhance the surrounding soft tissues, or compel the body to initiate the healing response. Depending on your unique concern there are a few available options.

• Injectables: Hand rejuvenation with fat transfer and hand rejuvenation with dermal fillers allows for soft tissue augmentation to restore volume to the hands.
• Laser Therapy: Laser hand rejuvenation and pulsed dye laser therapies encourage skin tightening and smooth skin appearance.
• Vein Treatment: Sclerotherapy targets overly prominent veins for reabsorption by the body.

The invasiveness and permanence of these procedures is dependent on the technique used. Most of these are minimally invasive with no more than a few days or weeks recovery time. They last months to years and usually require maintenance treatments.

When should you consider a hand rejuvenation procedure?

Signs of aging hands (like sun spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and prominent veins) will affect everyone at different times. No one is immune, however, and a good candidate is in generally good health, has ruled out any underlying medical conditions (all dark spots should be checked by your primary care physician or dermatologist for skin cancer), and have reasonable expectations of the procedure.

Why should you consider a hand rejuvenation procedure?

The hands tell all. That’s not exactly a common saying, but it should be. Hands will be some of the first body parts to show aging, and given the amount of abuse they take it could be sooner than you’d like. Gloves are cool, but you should only wear them to protect from the cold, and not from people trying to guess your age.
