Hand Rejuvenation

Do your hands give your age away?

Hand Rejuvenation

The focus of cosmetic improvement is often on the face yet it is our hands that frequently give our age away. Not only are hands subjected to greater environmental pressures from chemical exposure, the sun's rays, exposure to heat and cold, and extra use—they are also one of the few parts of your body that are constantly on display.

As we age, our hands lose firmness and plumpness and begin to look bony and fragile....with vein and joint protrusion, thin crêpey skin texture and often they've become flecked with brown spots from sun exposure. We realise that combating the ageing hand is going to take more than a bit of hand cream, so at The Hadleigh Clinic we offer the latest in medical hand rejuvenation treatments including:

Fillers: The use of fillers is the obvious choice for hand rejuvenation. The same dermal fillers that can be used to help fill out wrinkles on the face providing a more youthful appearance can also be used in hand rejuvenation treatments. A popular hand rejuvenation filler is Radiesse which immediately re-plumps and replenishes the volume to the back of the hands to provide a supple and youthful appearance instantly. Placed beneath the skin, Radiesse raises the skin level so that tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence. Radiesse provides instant and durable long lasting results.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation: Like increased translucency and ‘thinning of the skin,’ age spots are another obvious sign of ageing in the hands. The same treatment that is used for uneven pigmentation on the face can be used to treat age spots on the hands. IPL Skin Rejuvenation provides the ideal answer for patients with active lifestyles as the procedure requires no downtime.

Restylane® Vital: Over the years, skin may dry out as its natural levels of hyaluronic acid diminish due to age and genetic factors, as well as lifestyle factors such as smoking, sun exposure and environmental factors. This is more noticeable in areas that are more exposed to the elements. By injecting micro droplets of hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, the skin’s moisture holding capacity (hydrobalance) is restored, resulting in increased skin smoothness, firmness and elasticity.

Dermaroller™ Therapy: Dermaroller™ skin needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) uses a sterile medical roller covered in tiny micro needles to create miniscule pin point punctures in the skin. This is perceived by the body as damage and so stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Consecutive skin needling sessions trick your body to continue the healing process and the production of collagen improving the appearance of fine crêpey skin.
