Hand Rejuvenation

Aging hands are a common concern, as they often show signs of aging earlier than other areas of the body. This is due to a combination of factors, including collagen and elastin loss, decreased fat, reduced moisture retention, and external damage from sun exposure. By the mid-to-late twenties, the body begins losing about 1% of collagen per your, leading to a thinner, more crepey appearance in the hands. Additionally, natural fat diminishes over time, creating a bony and hollow look. Fortunately, several treatments can restore hand volume and improve skin texture, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Treatments Offered

There are several solutions to rejuvenating the hands, varying from lasers, fillers and collagen biostimulators. For laser treatments, the Fraxel Dual laser is often used for hand rejuvenation as it helps improve skin texture, tone, and collagen production. Fraxel comes in two parts the 1550 laser and the 1927 laser. The 1550 penetrates the deeper levels of the skin to boost collagen, while the 1927 laser is used to treat dyschromia (age spots), sun damage, and superficial resurfacing. Typically, 1-3 sessions are required for effective results. For maximum results, Fraxel is often combined with chemical peels for enhanced brightness, or dermal fillers like Radiesse.

Clear + Brilliant is a laser treatment utilized for hand rejuvenation with limited to no down time. Clear + Brilliant is considered a “mini Fraxel” because it is a gentler fractional laser treatment. Clear + Brilliant uses a less aggressive laser to target sun damage and stimulate collagen production and can be used as a preventative measure for aging hands.

UltraClear is a cold ablative laser treatment also utilized for hand rejuvenation. UltraClear creates cold microchannels in the skin which then catalyze the skin’s healing process, leading to collagen remodeling and fresh skin production.

Hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvéderm, RHA, Belotero, and Restylane, are an effective option for fine lines and wrinkles and hand crepiness. HA (a sugar found naturally in human skin) is responsible for retaining moisture in the skin and provides plumpness.. Because of this, it hydrates skin in the treated area and fills the space between collagen and elastin fibers, enhancing skin’s plumpness. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to fill in and plump up wrinkles and hand crepiness. They are frequently used in partnership with laser treatments.

Collagen Biostimulator fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse are another popular solution to hand rejuvenation. When it comes to restoring lost volume, improving hand crepiness and achieving a more youthful appearance, Radiesse and Sculptra are two of the most popular dermal fillers available today. What makes a collagen biostimulator unique to other injectable treatments, is it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production to improve skin structure, elasticity, and volume over time. Radiesse is the more frequently used treatments for hands and arms and provides immediate noticeable volume. 

PRF gel (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a collagen biostimulator injectable treatment also used for hand and arm rejuvenation and is a collagen biostimulator and natural treatment that helps improve hand aging and crepiness by utilizing your body’s own growth factors. PRF stimulates collagen and elastin, allowing fine lines to reduce by improving the skin’s texture, restoring collagen, and improving the appearance. This treatment typically is done in 3-4 sessions for maximum results.

Chemical peels can also be used as a series over time for hand rejuvenation. Chemical peels are effective for reducing age spots and improving skin texture on the hands. Chemical peels can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.

Comprehensive Hand Rejuvenation Approach:

For optimal results, a combination approach is often recommended. Laser treatments like Fraxel help resurface the skin and reduce pigmentation, while Radiesse or Restylane restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles. PRF and collagen biostimulators further enhance collagen production for long-term improvements. By utilizing advanced aesthetic treatments, patients can achieve youthful, rejuvenated hands with improved texture, tone and volume.
