The hands are usually one of the first places on the body to show signs of aging. Frequent washing and excess sun exposure are some of the many factors that can contribute to older-looking hands. Hand rejuvenation treatment is an option for those who want to turn back the clock, achieve a more youthful-looking appearance, and prevent their hands from giving away their true age.
Here’s a closer look at the best treatments for hand rejuvenation and how to request a consultation at North Shore Med Spa on Long Island.
What Is Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation refers to treatments that can help restore a youthful appearance to the hands. The goal of hand treatment is to reduce signs of aging, including sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles, and plump the skin to make it look younger, healthier, and hydrated. In some instances, hand rejuvenation may also involve targeting visible veins on the hands that may be bulging or contributing to discoloration.
The Benefits of Laser Treatment for Hand Rejuvenation
Laser treatment is one of the top, most effective treatments for reducing signs of aging on the hands. This hand rejuvenation treatment is non-invasive and produces noticeable results after only a few sessions.
During this hand treatment, a laser technician uses a wand or handpiece to deliver powerful bursts of light or laser energy directly to the hands. This energy passes through the skin and targets abnormal cells, including those in sunspots, wrinkles, and discoloration. It also induces collagen and elastin production, which can help make the skin on the hands look younger and fuller.
Here are other benefits of laser treatment for hand rejuvenation:
- It targets aging skin directly while preserving nearby healthy tissues.
- It produces very little downtime.
- It reduces redness and other discoloration to produce a more even skin tone.
- It produces smoother and softer skin.
- It produces results that may last for up to several years.
- It is relatively painless.
- Treatment sessions are typically short and last between 20 and 30 minutes.
What Are Other Treatments for Hand Rejuvenation?
Hand rejuvenation treatment is often customized for each person based on the characteristics of their aging hands and may involve more than one treatment. For instance, vein treatments may be used to eradicate visible veins on the hands contributing to an older-looking appearance.
Laser therapy can successfully address multiple blemishes on the hands, but this treatment may not be ideal for everyone. Other effective treatments for hand rejuvenation include:
- Sclerotherapy. This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting visible hand veins with a medical solution that forces the vein to collapse and close, causing the veins to gradually fade from view.
- Medications. Prescription medications may be used to reduce the appearance of sun damage and sunspots on the hands.
- Microdermabrasion. This treatment deeply exfoliates the skin to slough away dead skin cells and signs of aging, including sunspots that have formed on the upper layers of the skin.
- Chemical peels. These cosmetic “skin peel” treatments use rejuvenating ingredients such as salicylic acid and lactic acid that naturally boost hydration and collagen production.
- Injectable fillers. Dermal fillers can be injected into the hands to plump the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Hand rejuvenation treatments are available at many medical day spas, and they can be combined with other cosmetic treatments that target signs of aging on the face and body. A hand rejuvenation specialist at a medical spa can perform an exam and recommend the best treatment approaches.
