What Causes Wrinkled Hands?
Wrinkled hands are primarily caused by a combination of aging and environmental factors. As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, which can lead to a loss of firmness and can lead to thinner and drier hands.
Environmental factors also play a role in the aging process, including sun exposure and smoking. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin, which can accelerate skin aging leading to wrinkles. Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, which also leads to wrinkles.
Treatment Options for Hand Wrinkles
There are several treatments for wrinkled hands. First, it’s critical to use sunscreen on your hands to protect them and slow down further damage from the sun’s UV rays. If you’re looking for treatments to help rejuvenate wrinkled hands, Advanced Dermatology offers several laser treatments, injectable fillers, and chemical peels that can help.
How Do These Treatments for Wrinkled Hands Work?
Laser skin resurfacing is one way to treat skin damage. It works by using lasers to stimulate the growth of new collagen resulting in new smoother and firmer skin. Laser skin resurfacing can help reduce aging and sun damage by removing brown spots, wrinkles, and irregular texture.
Injectable fillers can also be used to help reduce the appearance of wrinkled hands. Fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin. Fillers can help replenish volume loss to address common signs of aging, including wrinkles.
Chemical peels are another way to help treat wrinkled hands. They use a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of the skin and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. This helps rejuvenate the skin and helps treat conditions like wrinkles and uneven skin tones.
What Benefits Can Be Expected from These Treatments?
Laser skin resurfacing, injectable fillers, and chemical peels all work to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin. These can be used on several different parts of the body, including the hands. Laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels remove the outer layer of skin to help rejuvenate and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. Alternatively, injectable fillers provide immediate improvements by addressing volume loss.
