Laser Hand Rejuvenation

It’s Not Just Your Neck and Face That Make You Look Older

Too often people are so worried about how their face and neck look that they completely ignore the condition of their aging hands. While the face and neck indicate signs of aging in the form of wrinkles, loose and saggy skin, the signs are quite different on your hands. Aging hands become skeletal, the skin starts to seem thin and the veins show up on the surface of the skin. This makes the hands look unsightly and despite all your care, manicure and amazing nail art, the back of your hands mar the overall look. The solution to this problem is hand rejuvenation using the laser.

Why Laser for Hand Rejuvenation?

Using a laser for hand rejuvenation is probably the best option for most people. First, your hands are not as sensitive as your face so laser application does not sound undesirable. Secondly, many different methods can be used to rejuvenate hands using the laser. The common problems with aging hands are protruding veins, skin pigmentation, and sunspots.

When it comes to thin skin, surgeons take care of it with a Fraxel laser. Fraxel laser is used for stimulating the collagen of your skin. The top layer peels off and the lower skin with stimulated collagen takes over. The hands start to feel fuller with time and protruding veins become less visible. Q Switched Yag is another type of laser that is often used by surgeons for getting rid of skin pigmentation. Another type of laser used for the same purpose is CO2.

Lastly, there is the IPL (intense pulse light) that is often put to use when it comes to clearing the sunspots on the skin. Multiple IPL treatments can be done by a surgeon to get the best results. This is more like a chemical where the sun-damaged skin is removed and fresh skin is revealed from underneath.

Why Laser Over Fillers and Surgeries?

Fillers and other surgical methods are great for hand rejuvenation too; however, the results can go awry with those treatments when not performed with utmost care. On the other hand, laser treatments are much safer and do not require any type of incisions or insertions of synthetic materials. The final results are much more natural and the skin rejuvenation takes place by stimulating the collagen of your skin—no external help.

Besides, there is always an option to combine fat transfer or fillers to laser rejuvenation treatments where needed.
