What Can Make My Hands Look Younger?

Laser Hand Rejuvenation

For individuals who are concerned about the appearance of their hands, there are a number of anti-aging procedures to eliminate dark spots and wrinkles. Fractional laser skin resurfacing can target age spots and fine lines to improve the tone and texture of the hands. Fractional lasers are targeted treatments that focus on precise areas of the skin. Fractional lasers can be either ablative or non-ablative. Non-ablative lasers are non-wounding, and require a series of sessions for gradual improvement of skin discolorations with minor betterment of wrinkling and volume. Ablative lasers are much more aggressive, sometimes requiring as little as one treatment for improvement in complexion and texture. 

Although both types of lasers can improve the look of bony hands via collagen stimulation, fillers such as Radiesse or fat grating are better suited to enhance volume. Skin elasticity can also be improved with laser resurfacing treatments however a tightening procedure such as Ulthera would elicit better results. Be sure to ask your provider during a consultation which procedure, or combination of procedures, would be best for your unique needs. 

Depending on the laser used, a topical or local anesthetic may be applied to numb the skin. Some laser devices will have a cooling element built into the hand piece to reduce the discomfort felt by the patient. The laser will then be expertly applied to the treatment area, targeting uneven skin texture, irregular pigmentation, fine lines, and other skin imperfections. The provider will closely monitor the skin to ensure an effective but comfortable session. Once the skin has been thoroughly treated, a soothing serum or ointment will be applied and a bandage may be applied to the skin.
