HAND REJUVENATION TREATMENTS
HAND REJUVENATION TREATMENTS: TO REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLY, DRY HANDS AND PROTRUDING VEINS
The skin is the first body part to show signs of our age, and our hands begin to look crepey and dry. Most of us have a daily skincare regime we use for our face, but often our hands don’t get the same TLC.
It isn’t too late to start to improve the appearance of your hands and there are many treatments that target all the age-related changes from improving the skin texture, replacing lost volume, and targeting pigmentation and hydration.
​
WHAT CHANGES DO WE SEE IN OUR HANDS WITH AGE?
The skin on our hands gets thinner as it loses its elasticity from a decline in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The hands lose volume and fat, and the texture become rougher and drier.
This reduced volume and decreased elasticity produces translucent skin that wrinkles the skin, makes hands appear crepey, age spots develop, broken capillaries form and they then makes us look older than we are.
​
ANTI-AGEING HAND TREATMENTS
There are multiple treatments that target all the visible signs of ageing on our hands, from volume replacement (to replace fat lost in the hands), improving the skin integrity and condition and reducing aged spots. There are many treatments in clinic, but also some things you can do at home to keep your hands looking hydrated and rejuvenated.
