Signs You Should Consider Hand Rejuvenation

Dec 10, 2024
When it comes to maintaining a youthful appearance, many of us focus on the face and neck while ignoring our hands. However, hands are among the most visible indicators of aging. We can change that with hand rejuvenation therapies.

Constant exposure to the sun, environmental factors, and the natural aging process can cause hands to appear older than we feel.

Fortunately, services at Oceana Aesthetics in Stuart, Florida, include hand rejuvenation treatments that can restore their youthful appeal. 

Our specialty team, led by board-certified surgeon Dr. Brian Blumenauer, offers medical-grade, minimally invasive therapies customized to fit your needs.

So, how do you know it's time to consider hand rejuvenation? Watch for these key signs:  

1. Visible veins and tendons

As we age, the hands lose skin elasticity and volume. This can cause veins and tendons to become more prominent.

If you notice that your hands appear “bony” or that the veins are bulging or more visible than they used to be, you may benefit from treatments such as dermal fillers or fat transfer to restore volume and provide a smoother appearance.

2. Wrinkled or crepey skin

Age-related collagen and elastin loss or sun damage can lead to wrinkled, thin, or crepey skin. This is one of the most common reasons people seek hand rejuvenation.

Laser treatments, chemical peels, and advanced microneedling with Morpheus8 can stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity.

3. Age spots or sun damage

Brown spots (age or liver spots) often appear on the back of the hands. Caused by prolonged sun exposure, these discolorations can make your hands look older.

Laser therapy, chemical peels, intense pulsed light therapy (IPL), or topical skin lighteners can help fade these spots and even skin tone.

4. Dry or rough Skin

Hands that feel persistently dry, rough, or have a dull texture may benefit from rejuvenation treatments.

Hydrating options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or professional moisturization treatments can restore smoothness and vitality to the skin.

5. Loose or sagging skin

If the skin on your hands starts to sag, hand rejuvenation can help tighten and firm it.

Radiofrequency treatments and laser therapies boost collagen production, while dermal fillers can plump loose areas for a more youthful contour.

6. Hand injuries or scars

Scars or damage from injuries can add to the aged appearance of your hands. Hand rejuvenation treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling with PRP can reduce the visibility of scars and help the skin heal and regenerate.

7. A general mismatch between your hands and face

The contrast can be striking if you’ve invested in facial rejuvenation treatments but neglected your hands. Consider hand rejuvenation to create a more harmonious overall appearance.

Your hands are often the first thing people see and touch, so why not give them the care they deserve? Schedule a visit at Oceana Aesthetics today. Call our office or request an appointment online.
