Ageing Hands, Knees, Arms
Aging is a natural process. As you age, your body will go through various changes. Some of the most visible signs of aging usually occur on your skin’s surface, especially on your hands. Many of us take care of the skin on our faces as we age. We often neglect our hands. With age, you may notice several aesthetic changes to the hands. They will change in texture and smoothness, and the skin may become drier and more crepey. You may also notice that veins become more prominent since the skin becomes thinner and they become more noticeable.
The volume in the skin also starts to decrease, making the hands appear bony and frail. In addition, you may notice sun and age spots or pigmentation changes.
Age spotS
Spots called sun spots or liver spots, consist of flat, round blotches on your skin that are brown to black in color. The hands are common places for age spots to develop, as well as your face and chest. While these spots can certainly appear with age, the name is a bit misleading, as these spots are primarily caused by ultraviolet (UV) ray exposure.
-
Age spots may be prevented by reducing UV exposure. Protect your hands by applying sunscreen daily.
-
If you have age spots on your hands you may be a suitable candidate for one of our chemical peels or laser resurfacing treatments. These treatments work by removing your skin’s top layer so that the smoother, more youthful skin underneath is revealed.
Dry, scaly skin
Dry, scaly skin is often seen with age, but it’s not necessarily inevitable. A lack of water and sleep can dry out your skin. Smoking can also make dry skin worse by removing its natural moisture. Poor circulation can also lead to dryness in your skin.
-
You can prevent dry, scaly hands by using unscented soaps and lotions, especially if you have sensitive skin.
-
Treatment for dry hands depends on the severity of the dryness. We offer several tretamenst at our clinic which help improve the hydration and skin quality. These include Mesotherapy, Profhilo, PRP and Dermal Filler
Wrinkles in the skin
Wrinkles develop as a result of collagen loss. These protein-based fibers are more readily available when you’re younger. However, it’s also possible to lose collagen too early.
