Ageing Hands

When we think about the signs of ageing, most of us think about our faces. However, one of the earliest signs of ageing is our hands. This is because our hands are constantly being exposed to smoke, chemicals, UV radiation and other harsh conditions.

As we age, our hands often reveal signs of aging that can be just as noticeable as those on our face. Factors such as sun exposure, loss of collagen and elastin, and decreased hydration contribute to the appearance of aging hands. However, various treatments and skincare products are available to rejuvenate and restore youthfulness to this often-overlooked area.

Overview of Causes

Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to sunspots, pigmentation irregularities, and thinning of the skin on the hands.
Loss of Collagen and Elastin: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, which provide structure and elasticity to the skin, decreases. This can result in thin, crepey skin and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Dehydration: Aging can cause a decrease in the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to dryness and a dull, lacklustre appearance.

By combining professional treatments such as Bio0-stimulanting injectables with a targeted skincare regimen, you can effectively combat the signs of aging on your hands, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Consult with a skincare professional to determine the best treatment and skincare plan tailored to your individual needs and concerns.

At what age do your hands start to age?

Studies show sun damage as one of the main causes for aging hands. Many people don't recognize the signs of aging hands until age 30 to 40, once the effects on their hands have already taken place in their younger years.

Can my age spots be treated?

Yes, of course. Although an SPF with a physical filter is advised to use after any treatment to prevent age spots from getting darker.
