Hands are one of the first places where the telltale signs of aging become apparent. Even if you have taken steps to keep your face and neck looking youthful, sun-damaged, veiny, wrinkled hands can make you look older than you are. There are a number of effective techniques to rejuvenate your hands, improving the quality and texture of your skin, while decreasing the wrinkling and prominent veins.
When to Consider Hand Rejuvenation
- If your hands would benefit from improved skin tone and color
- If your hands are wrinkled and thin
- If your hands have age spots
- If your hands have prominent veins and tendons because of volume loss
Pros
- A wide variety of options are available for rejuvenating your hands
- After rejuvenation your hands will be smoother and fuller and your veins will be far less prominent.
- Your hands will have a more youthful appearance
Cons
- Multiple procedures might be required to obtain the best results
- Hands may be swollen, bruised and stiff after treatment, which will limit activity
- If you have a history of impaired healing, such as diabetes, ongoing sun exposure and smoking (or exposure to secondhand smoke) you will see a less dramatic initial result and a shorter lasting result
