Hand Rejuvenation
The saying goes ‘If you want to know a woman’s age, look at her hands’. Our hands can show signs of ageing more than other parts of the body. In fact, sun-damaged, wrinkled, veiny hands can even make you look older than you really are.
If your hands giveaway your age or appear much older than your true age – fear not! You can rejuvenate your hands with dermal filler and laser skin rejuvenation treatments.
The cause of this accelerated ageing is that your hands are exposed to the sun and environmental factors more frequently than any other part of your body, which makes them more susceptible to sun damage.
Ageing diminishes the plump layer of tissue on the back of your hands allowing veins and tendons to become more visible. In addition, the skin on your hands thins allowing the sun damage to appear as pigmentation and age spots.
A Range of treatments, completed as an outpatient treatment are now available
- Chemical peeling – Quick and easy to administer. A carefully balanced formula is applied to the skin to remove the top layer of affected skin to reveal smooth layers of healthy skin. It is effective at removing spots and discolouration.
- Microdermabrasion – is a superficial skin polishing procedure that sands off the first layer of skin with tiny crystals.
- Injectable fillers– filler material is massaged across the back of the hand to give a youthful, even look with more volume. The procedure can be completed within 30 minutes and the results are immediately noticeable.
- A clear gel of natural hyaluronic acid– This can be injected into the dermis to provide moisture and renewed volume by energising skin cell activity and increasing production of elastin and collagen to restore younger looking contours to the hand.
