The Best Treatments to Improve Ageing Hands
Whilst there is a lot of focus on treatments to improve signs of aging on our faces, we often overlook our hands. Then we suddenly look down and feel our hands are looking older- pigmentation, sun spots, thinning/ crepey skin and prominent veins are common concerns. Constantly on show and exposed to the elements- it’s no wonder the signs of neglect and wear creep in over time..
It doesn’t have to be this way. Preventative measures such as wearing gloves, applying sunscreen to them daily and moisturising can help. However, if the signs of aging are already showing, here we discuss the key treatments that can be utilised to rejuvenate the appearance of your hands, available at Your Beauty Doctor in Mapperley.
Read on to see our top treatment recommendations for improving the appearance of ageing and wrinkly hands, all available in our Award-Winning Nottingham Clinic.
Polynucleotides for ageing hands:
. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments derived from salmon that:
Stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin
Support cell renewal and tissue repair, improving overall skin integrity
Help reduce fine lines and texture irregularities
Hydrate
2-3 sessions are needed. This leads to thicker, more resilient skin, important on the hands where skin thins noticeably with age. Following the initial sessions, a 6 monthly maintenance treatment is advised.
Sunekos for ageing hands:
Sunekos is an injectable skin booster combining hyaluronic acid with a patented mixture of amino acids. It instantly hydrates, and triggers the production of collagen and elastin over time, as well as reducing photo damage. Sunekos treatment is ideal for treating wrinkly skin on the hands as it helps reinstate natural volume, firmness and hydration in the skin. 3 sessions are required, with a single maintenance session every 6 months once results are optimised.
Sculptra for ageing hands:
Sculptra is a fabulous treatment, which is popular for use on the face and neck. However, its ability to address volume loss, prominent veins and crepey skin makes it an ideal treatment to address ageing hand concerns too. This treatment is a biostimulating dermal thickening agent that increases collagen by over 66%. 2-3 sessions are advised and results last 1-2 years.
Cryopen for age spots on the hands:
Age spots can be a big concern for anyone worried about their hands looking older. Cryopen uses liquid nitrogen to remove age spots, while allowing for millimetre precision and optimal safety. A great option for those stubborn sun spots.
FAQs
How long do the treatments for improving ageing hands last?
It really depends on what specific treatment is used. Polynucleotides and SuneKOS require a minatenace session after 6 months, whereas Sculptra can last 1-2 years.
Will I see results immediately when I have a cosmetic treatment to improve my ageing hands?
All treatments to aid the improved appearance of aging hands will require a period of recovery time. This is usually just a couple of days for most people. Once the recovery time has passed you will begin to see the improvements to your hands. They all offer a boost of hydration almost immediately. For some treatments, such as Sculptra, you will see the full effects of the cumulative collagen induction gradually over time.
Can I have a mixture of treatments on my hands to address a number of age related concerns?
Having a combination of treatments is often the best way to achieve the maximal results you are aiming for. This will be different for each patient and their requirements. For example, having polynucleotides can help with crepey skin on the hands and can allow the texture of the skin to look plumper and more youthful. Combining this with Cryopen to address age spots can be a multi-treatment approach to gain the best outcome for your concerns.
