Getting a hand on 'hand rejuvenation'

• Saturday November 4, 2006 | Posted in:

  Darkened spots or pigmentations, wrinkles, or that awful bony appearance is common of ageing hands.  In some cases, precancerous growths also appear.  With these conditions, hands can get unattractive compared to other parts of the body.  Too much sun exposure is largely to blame.

  The loss of fatty tissue can also result to sagging hands. In fact hands can present more signs of ageing especially if the pair is ‘overworked’ – that cannot be said for golfers and gardeners only, but for anybody.         
   
  Like the face, hands can be rejuvenated.  chemical peels, sclerotherapy (for unsightly veins), microdermabrasion, and laser skin resurfacing are some of the hand rejuvenation treatments available to restore a youthful appearance to the hands.    

  Natural or synthetic soft tissue fillers to can be injected to pump up the skin to eliminate sagging skin on the hands.  

  For mild cases, topical and over-the-counter treatments such as Retin-A® and glycolic acid derivatives can be applied.  These products can diminish age spots and tissue appears less transparent.

  A quicker, more effective technique removing 90-95% of age spots would be Laser Treatments.

  A qualified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can advise the best procedure for each patient.  The cost, type of anesthesia used (if any), downtime, and recovery time depend on the type of hand rejuvenation procedure.  Also, each technique carries their own share of risks and benefits.
