Hands are our showcase, they are beautiful give us confidence, but unfortunately they also reveal our age. The thin skin of the hands is aging fairly quickly, therefore, if we do not properly care for it, this age will be to our disadvantage.
Today on my blog about what aesthetic medicine treatments can help us take care of our hands.
Our hands work hard every day, performing thousands of activities that we often do not even think about, help us in everyday functioning. Unfortunately, however, they do not have an easy life, exposed to direct contact with sunlight, wind, frost, dry air, moisture and various types of detergents, they feel their harmful effects on their skin very quickly.
Thin and delicate
Hands have very thin fatty tissue, and their skin has almost no sebaceous glands, which makes them almost without a protective layer. The skin of our hands is therefore very delicate, and if left without our help, it easily dries and irritations.
If we do not care for it, we will soon notice the first wrinkles and discolorations on it. Unfortunately, in daily care, we often forget that our hands also need our support.
What does hand skin doesn’t like?
When washing your hands, remember that the water should not be too warm or too cold, and give up heavily perfumed and colored soaps. Also, don't forget that your hands should not be wet after washing, you should always gently dry them. It is also better to avoid the use of dryers that promote drying of the skin of the hands, of course, if we have such an opportunity. Hands do not like to be neglected, so it is very important to moisturize them carefully, you need to do it several times a day and always after contact with water.
Hand cream should also nourish them and help rebuild damaged protective layer. Thin hand skin does not like wind, frost and excessive sun exposure, so it is very important to guarantee its proper protection. In summer, we really need a light cream with a UV filter.
Our hands also do not like contact with detergents. Let's try to use protective gloves or special cosmetics called invisible gloves during home cleaning.
How to help damaged hands
Careful care and minimizing the contact of the skin of the hands with harmful external factors will certainly make our hands look beautiful and young. Home cosmetic treatment is not everything to cope with the effects of our neglect, effects of excessive skin exposure to the sun or simply slow down the aging process of our hands, professional help is needed.
The wide range of treatments offered by aesthetic medicine allows us not only to rejuvenate our hands, but also to nourish, moisturize, stimulate regenerative processes, get rid of unsightly discolorations and so-called age spots.
Forever Young BBL Phototherapy
A very effective and safe way to deal with discoloration that appeared on our hands is the innovative ForeverYoung BBL ™ (Broad Band Light) therapy. Light of the specified wavelength emitted during the treatment destroys darker pigmentation cells. Later, these dead cells escape to the surface of the skin, and peel leave it brighter and rejuvenated.
This is not the end, however, Forever Young BBL Phototherapy, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, clearly improves the elasticity of the skin of the hands and perfectly smoothes it.
Remember, however, that this is a gradual process and to get rid of completely unsightly stains from our hands, it is necessary to perform a series of such treatments. Outstanding specialists will take care of you at REVIVE CLINIC ™, who will carefully assess the condition of your skin and plan the therapy so that you can get the best results.
SkinPen Microneedling
When, as a result of sunlight, frequent contact with water, detergents, dry and cool air, or simply as a result of progressing aging processes, fine wrinkles appear on our hands, SkinPen Microneedling therapy is a good solution. The SkinPen used during the procedure makes thousands of tiny "holes" on our skin surrounded by healthy tissue, which accelerates healing, activates the formation of new collagen. SkinPen Microneedling makes the skin firm, fine wrinkles are smoothed and the visibility of discoloration is reduced. The first effects can be seen a few days after the procedure, and with each subsequent day they will be more and more visible, remember that the process of collagen reconstruction lasts about 4-6 months.
The specialist always decides how many treatments you need, at the REVIVE CLINIC ™, during the consultation, the specialist will examine your hands thoroughly, talk about your health, tell you about the procedure and plan individual therapy for you.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Platelet Rich Plasma is our personal "elixir of youth", it is a concentrate of platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma, obtained by centrifugation of blood previously collected from us.
The platelet rich plasma separated in this way is a preparation containing active thrombocytes that release growth factors. These, in turn, stimulate the proliferation and division of epidermal cells, activate microcirculation, stimulate DNA synthesis and stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen.
Platelet rich plasma accelerates skin regeneration processes, thanks to which new healthy cells are created faster, wrinkles are smoothed and our skin looks much younger.
Skin injection with platelet rich plasma is a very natural and safe procedure that does not cause allergic reactions.
Remember, however, that despite its enormous effectiveness, to obtain satisfactory results, you may need to perform a series of treatments. However, this is always decided by the specialist, which is why consultation with a specialist is necessary before starting therapy.
You also need to know that the procedure is not painless, so if you so wish, before it is performed, your hands will be anesthetized with a special cream.
You have to take care of your hands throughout the year, so remember to properly care for and protect them. It is also worth using the professional help of specialists, a whole range of treatments await you at REVIVE CLINIC ™ that will help you take care of your hands and improve their appearance.
