The hands are often a neglected area of the body as most of us focus mainly on treatments on the face. Therefore our hands tell the story of our age more so than our face.
The skin of our hands is subjected to the ravages of chemicals, sun exposure and other environmental stresses that our hands are exposed to. As we age our hands also lose collagen elastin and fat as we age.
The signs of aging process and sun damage are that our hands look crepe-y, hollow and bony. It is also not uncommon to find age spots, prominent veins and wrinkles.
When we age, some parts of our bodies may change in appearance, and this includes the volume loss on our skin. The skin on the back of our hands may start to lose its volume due to the loss of fat and muscle bulk. Patients are commonly advised by their surgeon or doctor to take lasers, injections, or a chemical peel treatment procedure to treat their skin problems that were affected with age. Lasers are one of the most popular treatments for a lot of skin issues as the device used for the treatment is enhanced and upgraded from time to time.
One reason why our skin tends to experience the signs of aging even at a young age is because of our unhealthy lifestyle. While a lot of factors can contribute to our aging skin, here are some of the indications if your skin is beginning to age:
As we age we suffer fat loss in our hands and they appear bony and our hand veins become obvious. These can be easily restored with filler treatments. (the choice of fillers will determine the duration of results) With restored volume in the hands, the skin will also look tighter and firmer.
Spots and blemishes (brown spots), or age spots, be it in the face or the skin on the back of the hands, are signs of aging and are unsightly. Fortunately, they are easily removed with laser treatment procedure with the result of clearer skin.
It takes only a few extra minutes of treatment time to have our hands treated along with your face, why not have hand rejuvenation benefits along with a younger face?
It is ideal to consider hand rejuvenation treatment procedure when you start to notice early signs of hand damage and aging. We will certainly recommend that your hands should match your face.
Dermal filler injection for hands is excellent to fill up the hollows of the hand and also reduce prominent veins. Many choices of fillers were used in the past and we certainly have our favourites.
Curas Advanced Nano Laser is the latest generation of Q- switch lasers that promised a more optimal performance for the treatment of skin pigmentation at the hands.The results of this laser treatment are in just a few sessions, sun spots, liver spots or brown spots and freckles can be removed.
The spots will appear red right after the laser treatment procedure, which will eventually be scabbed off, leaving the spot visibly reduced.
Post laser care such as adequate sun protection and moisturizers are advised to maximise results. The long pulse mode of Curas laser also stimulates collagen production on the hand skin, resulting in firmer skin. The side effects of laser treatment are minimal. Most people can tolerate laser hand treatments even without numbing cream.
We often advise patients that in order to maintain and enhance the results of the treatments, it is important to protect the hand skin from excessive sun damage. Ultraviolet rays are abundant around us, particularly when we engage in outdoor sports, in the car or even in a swimming pool. We will recommend applying a sunblock that is SPF 50 or above for adequate protection. It might also be a good idea to wear gloves when cleaning the dishes to protect the hands from harsh detergents.
Moisturizing the hands are just as important as moisturizing the face. Not only having a good level of hydration will promote healing from laser treatments, but it also helps to make the skin on the back or front of the hands remain supple and soft and less wrinkled. In general, moisturizing creams and lotions that are used for the face can also be used for the hands. Unless the hands are very dry, a dedicated moisturizer will be needed. Hyaluronic acid serums are extremely useful in hydrating dry skin at the hands.
Skin whitening products such as skinuva, and vitamin C serum which has lightening and whitening effects on the pigments of the skin. These skincare products are a simple yet effective rejuvenating treatment and are an excellent adjunct to laser and filler treatments.
