Hand rejuvenation treatment

Hand rejuvenation treatment is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to return youthful appearance to your hands.

Your hands are susceptible to aging even faster than your face. That’s because the skin on the back of the hands is much thinner than the skin on your face. When collagen starts to break down, which is a normal process of aging, your hands quickly become wrinkly, and show bulging veins and tendons.

So, if you are noticing wrinkles and fine lines, age spots or thinning dehydrated skin on the back of your hands, hand-rejuvenation treatments may be your solution.

What are the different types of hand rejuvenation treatments?

There are several types of hand rejuvenation treatments, which are chosen according to your concerns and aesthetic goals. They include:

  • Dermal fillers – this treatment is minimally invasive injectable procedure which adds volume to your hands and restores their youthful appearance.
  • Chemical peels – this procedure is effective in skin exfoliation and promotion of new skin cell growth. It is best for brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation on your hands.
  • Laser therapies – Laser resurfacing treatment is very effective in removing damaged skin layers and promotion of new skin cells growth. It reduces wrinkles, age spots and other imperfections on the back of your hands.

Who is a good candidate for hand rejuvenation treatments?

You might be a good candidate for these treatments if you have wrinkles on your hands and your veins and tendons are noticeable. Also, you may benefit from this treatment if age and sun spots are starting to appear on the back of your hands.

To be a good candidate for hand rejuvenation treatment you need to be in a good overall health and have realistic expectations from the procedure.

Contraindications for hand rejuvenation treatment include pregnancy, breastfeeding and certain allergies.
