Because our hands receive so much environmental exposure, they are one of the first places to start showing visible signs of aging such as sun spots, freckles, wrinkles, and precancerous growths. A loss of fatty tissue also occurs, making our hands look bony. Our advanced nurse practitioners offer hand rejuvenation treatments, to help restore the hands to a more youthful appearance. At our practices all the procedures are personally performed by your practitioner.

Aging of the Hand

With age, the suppleness and elasticity of the skin decrease. While this becomes most apparent on the face, the skin on your hands is equally susceptible to the ravages of time.

It can result in the hollowing of the dorsal web spaces, which can be identified as the space between the tendons of your fingers on the back of your hand. Additionally, the veins and bones of the hand become more prominent and may be projected outward, giving your hands an aged look.

Also, the skin can suffer from aging characteristics, such as pigmentation (due to sun damage or age spots), vascular lesions, and textural changes.

If you are considering getting rejuvenation treatments for your face or neck, it may be also prudent to talk to your provider about addressing a similar treatment for your hands. Having your face and hands match in their youthful appeal will ensure a more consistent post-procedure look.

Treatment Options for Hand Rejuvenation

The most convenient treatment option for fixing an aged look in your hands is to have a minimally invasive procedure using dermal fillers for the hands. At Allure Laser Medispa, we also offer laser treatments and MEDICAL GRADE skincare products to improve the color, tone, and texture of the skin of your hands. Dermal filler works really well to fill hands that have lost significant volume due to aging. Fillers significantly diminish the appearance of prominent veins and blood vessels while providing youthful volume and improving the contour and fullness of the hand.

Hand rejuvenation with fillers usually takes anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. Results can last up to one year or more.

Laser Treatment

While the fillers address the problem of missing volume in the hands, laser treatment can help with other signs of aging, such as brown spots and redness, while encouraging the creation of collagen.
