Hand Rejuvenation

COSMETIC HAND REJUVENATION

Because they are often ignored in the average woman’s skin treatment and beauty regime, hands down, our hands give our age away before our faces do. No woman wants to betray her true age with a simple hand shake or casual gesture, which is why hand rejuvenation has become a popular way to wage the ongoing war against aging.  

SKIN MD and Beyond’s

Hand Rejuvenation Treatment achieves Premium Results.

Hands are exposed to the environment and the sun every day, causing the skin on the skin back of the hands to become thinner and age more quickly than other parts of the body. Whether you have wrinkles, age and brown spots, dry and rough skin or transparent thin skin and bulging veins, these can all be corrected through the appropriate treatment.
Luckily, there are several skin treatments used to rejuvenate hands and restore the youthful color and contour we once had. Typically considered to be facial skin treatments, procedures like laser treatment, chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, and even fat contouring can help to restore the look of youth and elegance in our hands, too. We’ve assembled the range of different treatments available to treat the appearance of hands. At SKIN MD and Beyond there are many options to choose from, and in your consultation, we will discuss your expectations in order to determine which combination of treatments will deliver the results you want.

Wrinkle Fillers replace volume loss to rejuvenate hand appearance

Because the underlying cause of the aged appearance to hands is volume loss, no amount of hand creams will help. To rejuvenate hands you need something to replace the volume. Wrinkle fillers are now being injected into the backs of the hands to replace volume, hydrate skin and restore a more youthful plumpness.

Injectable Fillers immediately re-plump and replenish volume to the back of the hands providing a supple and youthful appearance instantly! Placed beneath the skin, they raise the skin level so that the appearance of tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence.

Dr. Wright can administer this injectable filler in the office setting. A single treatment provides instant results that can last anywhere from twelve to eighteen months. While treatment is relatively painless and normal activities can be resumed immediately, some patients may experience minor bruising or swelling.

 

 

 
 

Laser Treatment for Texture and Pigmentation

Correction


Laser resurfacing is an ideal treatment for age spots and other pigmentation problems occurring on the hands. The laser can also help to thicken the skin of the hands as the heat promotes new collagen growth. There is minimal downtime, though some flaking of the skin may occur. Final results are apparent after three to six months.
Dr. Wright uses the Palomar 1540 Lux Lift to provide precise control as the procedure gently removes fine lines/ wrinkles and age spots to reveal smooth, fresher-looking hands.



Because the laser’s microbeams only target a pin-dot size of skin tissue at a time, the untouched skin surrounding the treated skin protects the integrity of the epidermis and healing occurs quite quickly.  There is negligible downtime (1-2 days of slight swelling) and no reason to miss work!  Patients will experience about 2 hours of heat to the hands immediately after treatment and about 24 hours of redness. Because there is no actual peeling of skin, patients remark that the downtime is very  minimal- which is very different to most of the machines available.  With this negligible downtime (1-2 days of slight swelling), there is no reason to miss work!

 

 
  Photofacials

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment or Photofacials use intense pulsed light to treat spots, spider veins, and fine lines and create softer, smoother, clear skin with little, if any, pain.

IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light to gently remodel the collagen and is used to eliminate superficial skin color irregularities This treatment is best suited to treat pigmentation and vascular changes rather than changes in the skin texture.

 
 

 

 
 

 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion  is a superficial type of treatment using very fine crystals of aluminum oxide to remove the dead outer layer of the skin resulting in a smoother skin surface. The procedure takes 30 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity. Only the very surface cells of the skin are removed, so no additional wound is created. Microdermabrasion is a technique can be helpful  with fine skin texture and pigmentation.  Generally, more than 12 treatments are required and the results are usually slight, and certainly a lot less  dramatic than the other treatments mentioned above.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are available in a variety of forms that can be used to produce a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin. The new skin beneath is smooth and practically blemish-free, with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, spots and sun damage.  Dr. Wright prefers to treat the hand with a series of six or more mild chemical peels spaced at two to four week intervals. Glycolic acid and beta hydroxyacids work well for fading mild cases.
In some cases stronger peels are needed for more stubborn cases and pose little risk of scarring or permanent discoloration (which are risks when alternative medium strength peels are used to treat the delicate skin of the backs of the hands).  Generally, these medium chemical peels are required to achieve a significant result, but a series of more superficial chemical peels could help achieve some improvement.
