The Best Treatments for Aging Hands
Can my hands look young again without surgery?
You can hide your arms behind long sleeves but the aging hands will reveal it all. Even if you are doing a good job of maintaining a youthful facial appearance, the hands can easily expose your true age. The detectable signs of premature aging are two-fold. First, you will notice a loss of fat volume and thinner skin, resulting in visible veins and tendons. Second, you might notice brown sunspots or “age spots”. These develop from chronic sun exposure. Luckily, with the latest anti-aging advancements you can eliminate both of these undesirable changes with quick, non-invasive procedures that can be done over your lunch hour.
Radiesse Injection and IPL Therapy
Forget about ineffective at-home treatments or creams. Currently, the best way to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of your aging hands is with a combination of two non-invasive treatments: Radiesse injection and IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. The Radiesse treatment is an FDA approved dermal filler used to plump the skin. When applied properly, it can correct volume loss on the back of the hands.
Dermal fillers are a great solution for the aging of the hands and can “turn back the hands of time” by:
- restoring lost (fat) volume.
- minimizing the appearance of tendons and veins.
- restoring a youthful appearance.
- creating a smooth, natural-looking result.

The IPL technology uses high-intensity, visible, broad-spectrum pulses of light to improve skin pigmentation, laxity and collagen production. Blasting the brown blemishes, call chromophobes, with a 560nm ray of light gives a youthful result. Coffee ground appearing pigments will slough off over a one week period. You can expect younger-looking hands that last up to one year or longer depending on your level of sun exposure. Our team can perform both of these great procedures in the office in half an hour with minimal downtime. Patients who undergo these treatments are extremely satisfied with the result. As such, they no longer feel the need to hide their aging hands.
