Benefits of Hand Rejuvenation

The natural aging process can result in unwanted changes in the body. It has an impact not just on the face but on other parts of the body, including the hands. The skin on the hands becomes thinner and weaker with age, often resulting in aging spots. The hands and wrists also develop bulging veins. 

Fortunately, some treatments can help reverse or reduce the effects of aging. Hand rejuvenation can enhance and refresh the appearance of the hands, leaving them smoother. There are several benefits of hand rejuvenation treatment.  

Safe and Effective Treatment

Hand rejuvenation treatment is safe and effective. It may involve the injection of a special solution into the spider and varicose veins. The treatment causes the veins to collapse or close, rerouting them to healthier veins. 

Over time, the veins fade, resulting in a smoother appearance. The dermal fillers help hydrate the skin, stimulating the production of collagen. The treatment is fast, and there is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities soon after treatment. 

Reduce Pain and Swelling

Sclerotherapy or hand rejuvenation does more than offer cosmetic benefits. Many people experience pain and swelling associated with unsightly veins. Hand rejuvenation treatment can help get rid of this discomfort. The hand rejuvenation treatment can be used on different skin types and tones. The treatment is ideal for healthy adults who are not happy with the look of their hands. 

Restoring Volume and Elasticity

The aging process causes the skin on the hands to lose the elasticity and volume that is associated with youth. The depletion of the layer of fat under the skin enhances the appearance of the joints, veins, bones, and tendons. 

The skin begins to sag, leading to the development of wrinkles and making it easier to experience bruising. Hand rejuvenation helps restore the volume and elasticity, restoring fullness to the hands. 

Removing Spots and Blemishes

The aging process and effects of the environment can cause the skin to develop spots and blemishes. Another benefit of hand rejuvenation is that it helps remove the spots and blemishes. 

Many people experience sun damage that leaves their hands looking red or discolored. Hand rejuvenation treatment can help remove the
damaged skin layer. Laser treatments or chemical peels can work effectively to rejuvenate the hands. 

Complementing Facial Rejuvenation

Many people will admit that getting facial surgery can end up looking ridiculous if the hands look old. The last thing you need after your facial plastic surgery is for your hands to reveal your real age. If you are planning to get cosmetic surgery, it is a good idea to include hand rejuvenation treatment. You can get youthful-looking hands to complement your new face. 

There are several types of hand rejuvenation treatments, and they include hand fillers, micro-phlebectomy, and intense pulse light (IPL) treatment. Results from hand rejuvenation treatment vary from one person to the next. 

Most people notice improvement immediately after treatment. However, patients often experience the best results a few months after treatment. Wearing compression gloves can help reduce any swelling and inflammation that may be present after treatment.
