As we age, the visible signs of aging are not limited to the face—our hands can also reveal the passage of time. Aging hands are characterized by a loss of volume, thinning skin, and the appearance of sunspots or uneven pigmentation. These changes often make veins, ligaments, and bones more prominent, leaving the hands looking older and less vibrant. At The Centre for Dermatology, we offer a variety of effective treatments to rejuvenate aging hands and restore their youthful appearance. Whether you’re concerned about volume loss, pigmentation, or skin texture, our team can design a personalized treatment plan to address your needs.

What Causes Aging Hands?

1. Loss of Volume
   Aging naturally reduces the subcutaneous fat in the hands, leading to a bony and veiny appearance. Without the cushioning effect of this fat layer, veins, tendons, and ligaments become more visible.
2. Thinning Skin
   Collagen and elastin production declines with age, resulting in thinner, less elastic skin that is more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Sun Damage
   Hands are frequently exposed to the sun, making them susceptible to sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and a rough texture caused by UV damage.

How Aging Hands Are Treated

1. Sciton Broadband Light (BBL)

The Sciton BBL laser is an innovative treatment that uses light energy to improve the appearance of aging hands. This non-invasive procedure targets pigmentation issues, sunspots, and uneven skin tone by gently heating the skins outer layers to stimulate collagen production.

How It Works

• BBL energy penetrates the skin to break down pigmented areas caused by sun damage.
• The treatment encourages natural collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and elasticity over time.
• Patients experience minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Results

After a series of BBL treatments, hands appear smoother, more evenly toned, and rejuvenated. Pigmented lesions gradually fade, leaving behind youthful-looking skin.

2. Injectable Fillers

Injectable fillers are one of the most effective ways to restore lost volume in aging hands. These treatments use hyaluronic acid-based fillers to replace the subcutaneous fat that diminishes over time.

How It Works

• Fillers are strategically injected into the back of the hands to plump the skin and reduce the prominence of veins, ligaments, and bones.
• The procedure is quick, often completed in under an hour, and is relatively painless.
• Results are immediate and can last for up to two years, depending on the type of filler used.

Benefits

• Restores natural volume and a youthful contour to the hands.
• Provides a smooth, even appearance with minimal downtime.
• Safe and effective for most patients.
