Hand Wrinkles and Aging Hands: Understanding Causes, Treatment, and Rejuvenation Options

Welcome to VIDASKIN, where we prioritize your skincare needs. In this section, we’ll explore the causes of hand wrinkles, treatment options, and rejuvenation techniques to keep your hands looking youthful.

Hand Wrinkles: Causes and Contributors

As we age, our hands can show signs of wear and tear, often manifesting as wrinkles or thinned skin. Several factors contribute to hand wrinkles:

Aging

The natural aging process leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for skin elasticity

Sun Exposure

UV rays accelerate skin aging. The hands are often exposed and vulnerable to the sun's harmful effects.

Dehydration

Lack of proper hydration can make the skin on your hands more prone to wrinkling.

Repetitive Facial Expressions

Daily activities, such as gripping and typing, can contribute to the formation of wrinkles over time.

Rejuvenation Techniques for Youthful Hands

At VIDASKIN, we offer advanced rejuvenation techniques to restore youthfulness to your hands:

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can be injected to plump up the skin, reducing the visibility of wrinkles and adding volume. At VIDASKIN, we have a preference to use calcium hydroxyapatite fillers for the hands as they are FDA approved for hand rejuvenation. Furthermore, there are clinic studies proving that these types of fillers have a bio remodelling effect on skin.

Hybrid Cooperative Complex Skin Booster

This treatment is a novel molecule which is a combination of a high molecular weight and a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, linked together with a proprietary technology into a novel molecule known as the HCC (Hybrid Cooperative Complex). This product not only helps to hydrate the skin, but also been clinically proven to regenerate the skin architecture and quality.

Laser Therapy

Fractional laser treatments stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and minimizing wrinkles.

Chemical Peels

A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to peel and revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin.

Microdermabrasion

This non-invasive procedure exfoliates the skin, improving its texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines. At VIDASKIN, we recommend the use of Hydrafacial which combines microdermabrasion with acids for rejuvenated hands.

Living with Youthful Hands:

Maintaining rejuvenated hands involves a combination of professional treatments and daily care. Follow these tips:

Consistent Skincare

Establish a skincare routine that includes moisturizing and sun protection.

Regular Rejuvenation

Schedule periodic rejuvenation treatments to sustain youthful hands.

Healthy Lifestyle

Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid smoking to support overall skin health

Frequently Asked Questions

Hand wrinkles are caused by a combination of factors including aging, sun exposure, dehydration, and repeated use of the hands. The skin on the hands is thin and loses collagen and elasticity over time, leading to wrinkles.

To prevent hand wrinkles, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, keep your hands moisturized, and avoid excessive washing with harsh soaps. Wearing gloves during household chores and using hand creams with anti-aging ingredients can also help.

In-clinic treatments such as lasers, CaHA skin rejuvenation or Hybrid Cooperative Complex Skin Booster can help to improve the appearance of hand wrinkles. These treatments also stimulate collagen to regenerate the skin.

Yes, non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers and laser therapy are effective for reducing hand wrinkles. These treatments work by filling in wrinkles, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin texture. Most patients see noticeable improvements after a few sessions.
