When it comes to anti-aging, most people focus on the face, neck, and chest. While these areas are essential in maintaining a youthful look, there’s one part of the body that’s often forgotten—your hands! Our hands are constantly exposed to the sun and environmental stressors, leading to visible signs of aging like age spots, thinning skin, and prominent veins or tendons due to the loss of fat and collagen. At Neu Look Med Spa & Skin Center, we believe in treating your hands to match the rejuvenation you achieve with facial treatments.
What Causes Hands to Age?
The skin on our hands naturally loses volume over time, resulting in a veiny or skeletal appearance. Sun exposure further contributes to discoloration and age spots, especially on the backs of the hands. Since we use our hands daily and they’re rarely protected with SPF, these signs of aging often show up earlier than we expect.
Treatment Options for Younger-Looking Hands
1. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy
IPL treatments are ideal for reducing hyperpigmentation and age spots. This non-invasive procedure uses light energy to target and break down pigment, resulting in a clearer, more even skin tone. Each treatment lasts about 15–20 minutes and doesn’t require numbing beforehand. Most patients experience only mild redness for about a day post-treatment. For best results, we recommend three IPL sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
2. Chemical Peels for the Hands
If you’re not a candidate for IPL, chemical peels offer a great alternative. These peels help exfoliate the skin and gradually fade pigmentation issues over several treatments. They are best suited for those with mild to moderate sun damage and can provide noticeable improvement with consistent care.
3. Radiesse Injections for Volume Loss
To combat the hollowed, veiny appearance that can come with aging hands, we use Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite dermal filler. When injected under the skin, Radiesse plumps the area and smooths out visible tendons and veins. The result is a more youthful, fuller-looking hand that matches the refreshed appearance of your face.
Why Combine Treatments?
By combining IPL or chemical peels with Radiesse injections, you can address both the tone and texture of aging hands. This comprehensive approach delivers a dramatic transformation with minimal downtime. At Neu Look, we customize every treatment plan to fit your unique skin goals—because you deserve care that treats the whole you.
