Yeah, I know, your hands can really give away your age. Women are great at fighting the signs of aging on the face, neck, earlobes even. Yet, hands are often neglected. No worries, KMC Dermatology has tips, product recommendations, and services to help turn back time on your hands!
Brown spots
You have neglected to put SPF 30 or higher on your hands, you’re early 40’s, and now it shows! Step one, start preventing the growth and amount of age spots by applying sunscreen to your hands after every handwashing, find a lotion with SPF in it, keep it in your car and reapply. The pharmaceutical grade SkinMedica Essential Defense Sunscreen is an excellent option. KMC also sells Lytera, a pigment correcting serum, for a way to treat those stubborn spots from home. Interested in a medical treatment? KMC has options! We offer: microdermabrasion, chemical peels (TCA), gentle cryotherapy, and the CO2 Laser all will greatly reduce the age spots on your hands or face.
Wrinkly, crepe paper skin
Some of wrinkling is the natural result of aging and loss of collagen. However, if you are a religious sunscreen wearer, you can definitely slow down the aging of your hands. You also need to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! KMC sells SkinMedica HA5 for Hydration. Interested in how a Dermatologist can help rejuvenate your wrinkly hands? Look into getting a SkinPen microneedling treatment. This 15 minute procedure physically wounds the skin with a series of needles, which stimulates the regeneration of collagen.
Loss of fullness, visible veins
Largely caused by loss of elasticity and thinning of skin as we age, veiny hands really show your age. No worries, your friendly KMC Dermatologist can help! A doctor can physically plump up your skin from the inside out! Fillers have now been approved for use on the backs of hands and results can last up to a year.
