What Is Hand Rejuvenation?

Our hands reflect our age as much as our faces. Through the aging process, our hands lose firmness and smoothness and can appear bony and brittle with bulging veins and a thin, crepe-like skin texture. Often the skin on our hands shows brown spots from sun exposure.

 

What Is Hand Rejuvenation?

Hand rejuvenation is a term used to cover a variety of treatments that address the signs of aging specifically in the hands. There are a number of visible signs that can develop on people's hands as they age, from dark age spots to loss of skin elasticity. Previously overlooked by patients and cosmetic professionals alike, hand treatments are becoming more popular as people understand that anti-aging treatments must take a whole-body approach. Patients now commonly combine face, neck, and chest procedures, whereas in the early days of plastic surgery people only treated the face. But if you start treating isolated areas, the untreated areas show up.

Before and Aftercare:

Before your hand rejuvenation procedure, your initial consultation should provide answers to all of your questions about preparing for your treatment and experiencing the best aftercare. Your ability to resist treatment should be determined through physical evaluations and medical history taken prior to your procedure.

Certain laser treatments or chemical peels may require the application of special creams in the weeks leading up to the procedure. Additionally, patients will be asked to stop smoking and refrain from taking aspirin, supplements, and anti-inflammatory medications prior to surgery to prevent excessive bleeding.

Aftercare for hand rejuvenation also depends on the type of treatment received. Dermal fillers may not require the same special recovery considerations as other forms of hand enhancements, such as surgical procedures for the hands that require patients to arrange transportation home after surgery and help in the home during the first 24 hours of recovery.
