Turning back the hands of time
Many women forget that a youthful appearance is not only judged upon the condition of the face, neck and décolleté (chest area), but also the condition of their hands.
Our hands can easily give away our age and how we look after ourselves.
Our hands do just about everything all day, and since they are exposed to these outside factors most of the time, it results in more significant visible signs of ageing much quicker than other areas of our body.
These ageing signs include age spots, thinning skin, enlarged veins and a bony appearance. The hands are usually ignored in the average woman’s skin care regimen and thus give our age away before our faces do. With the advent of photo rejuvenation treatments, virtually any patient can be a candidate for improving the quality of the skin on the back of their hands.
The new concept today is to start with collagen stimulatory devices early so as to prevent the deterioration of skin texture and laxity on the back of the hands as one gets older.
In addition to topical home therapies, our hand rejuvenation treatments offer a solution to those looking to restore a youthful appearance to their hands. As ageing hands are a multi layered problem the Hand Rejuvenation in office packages offer a combination of treatments that will treat all of the ageing problems mentioned above.
To instantly refresh old looking hands with enlarged veins and a bony appearance, Dermal injectable fillers, can add volume and plump up the skin on the back of our hands.
The hyaluronic acid present in the Filler, attracts water and rehydrates the skin for a period of up to two years, on average. An added benefit is that new collagen formation is promoted for more long term beneficial effects. The treatment takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and ice and local anaesthetic is on hand to reduce the discomfort factor.
Medical laser and peeling treatments also add to the result by refining the skin, stimulating collagen as well as reducing and repairing sun damage, evidenced by dark brown spots/pigmentation on the hands.
Of vital importance, which applies to the whole body in general, the application of a medical sunscreen, protects the results of treatments and prevents any further damage, which is anti-ageing in itself.
Our hands work hard for us all day long, and a little TLC can bring back that youthful healthy appearance.
