Aging hands can reveal your age to the world, even if your face and body look youthful and refreshed. At Salzman Cosmetic Surgery and Spa, Dr. Marc Salzman, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, and our skilled team understand how frustrating it is to experience problems like thinning skin, bony hands, prominent veins, and sunspots.
We specialize in comprehensive cosmetic care, from hand rejuvenation to advanced face and body procedures like facelift and mommy makeovers, offering customized solutions to help you look and feel your best. Read on to learn why the hands seem to age so fast and how rejuvenation can reverse those effects.
Why Do Hands Age Differently?
The hands undergo a unique aging process. The skin on the back of your hands is among the thinnest on the body, so it’s highly delicate and prone to damage. That’s why a small cut on the back of your hand may look and feel worse than one on a tougher area.
Factors like sun exposure, collagen loss over time, fat loss, years of wear and tear, and environmental pollutants can further thin the fragile skin on the backs of the hands. Unfortunately, this makes bones, veins, and tendons more visible.
In addition, many people develop brown spots (age spots) and rough skin texture as they age.
Fortunately, hand rejuvenation treatments can help restore a youthful appearance.
Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Options
Hand rejuvenation at Salzman Cosmetic Surgery & Spa includes a variety of effective treatments:
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane®, add volume to fill in the areas where you’ve lost collagen and fat over time. This makes veins and bones less noticeable.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting involves using your own fat cells from a donor area like the abdomen or thighs. Much like dermal fillers, fat grafting restores volume.
Laser Treatments
We offer a wide range of laser treatments to address many problems common in aging hands. For example, The HALO® laser reduces brown spots and smooths texture for a refreshed look.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can help shed old skin cells, helping reduce sun spots and improving skin texture on the back of the hands.
During a consultation, our team assesses your hands, learns about your goals, and discusses which options are right for you.
