Our hands are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. As time passes, the skin on the back of our hands loses its elasticity, causing wrinkles to form, veins to become more prominent, and dark spots to appear. Hand rejuvenation treatments can help lighten and brighten the skin, remove age spots and wrinkles, and make the skin thicker.
Age Spots
The hands often show signs of aging due to sun exposure and the loss of skin elasticity. Fine lines, prominent veins, and dark patches on the skin (sometimes called liver spots) can make our hands look older. Thankfully, there are various cosmetic treatments available to remove or lighten age spots. The new Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing technique rejuvenates hands by vaporizing the superficial skin cell removing brown spots, tightens and improves the appearance by contracting collagen, and stimulates further collagen production to fill in the hollow spaces of the hands. If you’re interested in revitalizing your aging hands, consider consulting with an experienced specializes lie Dr. Abovian.
Wrinkles
Our hands are particularly prone to showing signs of aging, especially with excessive sun exposure. This often leads to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to address these concerns, such as skin resurfacing lasers, dermal filler injections, PRP or PRF injections, and EZ PRF Gel injections, and CO2 Laser Resurfacing.
During your initial consultation, the physician will discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your hands, and determine the most suitable treatments for you. Many of these treatment options can be performed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
Skin Texture
The skin of our hands often experiences sun damage, resulting in dark spots, uneven patches, and rough texture. Fortunately, there are several non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can help improve the skin’s smoothness and appearance. Dermal fillers can add volume and stimulate collagen production, reducing fine lines temporarily. Chemical peels lighten dark spots, and exfoliating creams containing hydroquinone can help with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
CO2 laser treatment can effectively remove sun damage spots, reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and make the hands appear smoother and younger in single treatment. Intense pulsed dye (IPL) laser is another option to reduce redness, spider veins, and hyperpigmentation on the hands, but requires multiple sessions at 4 weeks intervals. These treatments, when combined with proper sun protection, can offer long-lasting results.
Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer has recently become popular in adding volume to hands, restoring natural padding of hands, and hiding tendons and veins. The procedure involves removing excess fat from another area of the body through liposuction, purifying it, and injecting it into the hands for a natural-looking outcome. Fat transfers also contain healthy stem cells that help rejuvenate the skin, minimizing wrinkles and scarring. This makes fat transfers a superior option to dermal fillers for hand rejuvenation.
Additionally, fractional CO2 laser treatment can be used to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in younger-looking hands, without any fat transfer.
Final Thought
CO2 laser treatment is the most effective Non-Invasive and Non-Surgical method for rejuvenating the skin on the hands. It helps even out skin tone, remove age spots, and tighten the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance of hands. Other Hand rejuvenation procedures that restore volume include: Fat transfer, EZ PRF BIO Gel injections, PRP and PRF liquid injections, and Dermal fillers.
