What can be done to improve the appearance of the hands?

"My hands look so old……"
I have several patients who are bothered by the appearance of their hands. This may not seem like a problem area for many, but for those of us who have sunspots over our bony hands, it’s a big deal.

I had a patient just this morning that is so happy with the treatments we have done so far for her hands. She has always been so self-conscious and she said it just made her feel happy to look at her hands now. And we aren’t even done yet.

What can be done to improve the appearance of the hands?


1). Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! I can not stress this enough! When? Every single day! Even on cloudy days. You would be surprised at how much sun exposure we get going from our house to our cars. And then….you have the exposure we get when driving.

2). Dermal Fillers. Fat and Radiesse are excellent products to use to improve the appearance of the hands. The filler is used to fill in the backs of the hands to make them look younger and fuller.

3). Photo-rejuvenation. It is remarkable what a difference it makes to get rid of those sunspots that age our skin so dramatically.

A combination of these treatments can make your hands look younger. What a great idea prior to a big day such as a wedding when so much focus is on the hands.
