The saying went ‘If you want to know a woman’s age, look at her hands’. Fortunately this is no longer true.Our hands can show signs of ageing more than other parts of the body. Sun-damaged, wrinkled, hands with prominent veins can make you look older than you really are. Youthful hands are full with blemish free skin but as hands age the skin loses its elasticity, pigmentation creeps in and the loss of fatty tissue accentuates the appearance of veins.
What can you do now? Apply sunblock to the hands daily. Use a thick layer of moisturiser overnight.Pigmentations can be treated with hydroquinones and Retin-A creams.My first choice fillers are Juvederm 4 or Juvederm Voluma which has an immediate effect but also a progressive effect to increase collagen production. Restylane skin boosters can also be used to hydrate the skin from the inside.
