Aging Hands: Common Cosmetic Concerns and Top Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Procedures

As we age, we often focus on maintaining youthful-looking faces, neglecting an equally significant feature – our hands. The hands are one of the first areas to show signs of aging, with skin losing its firmness and elasticity over time. The skin on our hands is one of the thinnest, making the loss of collagen more noticeable. It is also one of the first places to show signs of aging, partly due to frequent sun exposure and people constantly using their hands. However, with advancements in non-surgical hand rejuvenation procedures, achieving youthful-looking hands is now easier than ever. At LV Aesthetic, we enjoy helping our clients take care of the appearance of their hands, for a younger, smoother, and healthier look. We create a custom hand rejuvenation protocol for each client, depending on their primary concerns, from sunspots to wrinkles to hyperpigmentation. 

Top Skin Concerns For Aging Hands

When it comes to your hands getting a bit older, there are a few skin concerns that might pop up. You might notice those sneaky age spots or patches of uneven skin color showing up, and your skin might start thinning out, making those veins and tendons show up more than you'd like. Top skin concerns for aging hands include;

  • Sunspots and Age Spots: One of the most common cosmetic concerns for aging hands is the appearance of sunspots and age spots. Prolonged sun exposure over the years can lead to the development of uneven pigmentation on the back of the hands, making them look older than they are.

  • Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation in the hands manifests as darkened patches or spots on the skin's surface, often appearing uneven in tone. Commonly caused by factors like prolonged sun exposure, aging, and skin injuries, it occurs due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.

  • Thinning Skin and Wrinkles: As we age, the skin on our hands loses volume, becoming thin and crepey, with visible wrinkles and lines. This loss of volume can make the veins and tendons more pronounced, adding to the appearance of aged hands.

  • Loose and Sagging Skin: Over time, the skin's natural collagen and elastin production slow down, leading to loose and sagging skin on the hands. This can make hands look older and less vibrant.

  • Vein Visibility: As the skin loses volume and becomes thinner, the veins on the back of the hands can become more visible, creating an aged appearance. Visible veins on hands can result from a combination of factors such as age-related thinning of the skin and reduced collagen, causing veins to become more prominent. Genetics, sun exposure, and loss of subcutaneous fat can also contribute to the visibility of veins on the hands.

What You Can Do To Prevent Aging Hands

Preventing aging hands involves a combination of lifestyle choices, skincare practices, and protective measures. Here are some steps you can take to help keep your hands looking youthful:

  • Moisturize Regularly: Keep your hands hydrated by applying a good-quality moisturizer after washing your hands and throughout the day. Look for products that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or shea butter.

  • Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh soaps and hot water when washing your hands. Use mild, moisturizing cleansers to prevent drying out your skin.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Most Effective Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation Procedures for Your Hands

While our hands may be exposed to signs of aging, there are several non-surgical procedures available to rejuvenate them and restore a more youthful appearance. At LV Aesthetic, we offer a range of non-invasive hand rejuvenation treatments tailored to address your specific concerns. 

Plasma Skin Tightening: also known as Fibroblast Plasma, this procedure is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure that causes no cuts to the skin. The Plasma Pen stands out as the most cutting-edge non-invasive tool globally, employed for skin lifting, tightening, and revitalization. Its application extends to treating wrinkles, sagging, and lackluster skin, providing advanced solutions for these concerns.

Thermoclear Skin Treatment: Thermoclear skin treatment offers a specialized approach for enhancing the appearance of hands. By using controlled thermal energy, this procedure targets various skin imperfections. ThermoClear can be used to improve the appearance of many different skin irregularities, such as small ‘spider’ capillaries, cherry angiomas, milia, fibromas, cholesterol deposits, skin tags, sun spots, age spots, and more. The treatment works by gently eliminating or reducing these blemishes, leading to smoother and more rejuvenated skin on the hands. Thermoclear effectively addresses these concerns, promoting a renewed and revitalized look to the skin on the hands. ThermoClear works on all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.

Microneedling: You may have heard about microneedling for your face, but did you know that this minimally invasive procedure is also highly effective for your hands? During this treatment, tiny, fine needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful in appearance. Microneedling for hands can help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and scars, leaving your hands rejuvenated and revitalized. Microneedling is a non-surgical solution that taps the body’s natural healing processes to lessen and even correct skin blemishes, wrinkles, scarring, and other skin damage.
