Ageing arms and hands can be the bane of many people. Sadly, skin changes occur all over our bodies with age, including of course arms and hands.
Problems include a change in skin quality and loss of skin strength. But more significantly, there’s the battle of protruding veins, wrinkly skin and those dreaded ‘sun spots’.
Our solutions
Lasermed has several treatments for ageing arms and hands. For creped skin, the Dermapen4 Advanced microneedling works well, as do chemical peels. And for sun spots, commonly known as ‘liver spots’ or age spots, IPL is ideal, as well as our fractional resurfacing lasers. Age spots could affect all skin types, although they’re more common in light-skinned adults. Unlike freckles, which are common in children and fade with no sun exposure, age spots don’t fade.
Your treatment options for ageing arms and hands depend on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Make sure you research all possibilities before deciding on what’s best for you. Not forgetting that Lasermed offers a free consultation to discuss your concerns.
Alas, many people limit their age-defying energy to only the face. But arms and hands also are important. Don’t let your ageing hands and arms add unwanted years to your appearance. They deserve the same attention as your face.
At-home treatments
After your treatment of choice, it’s easy to maintain younger-looking skin on your arms and hands.
The same treatments and products that work for your face to improve skin tone, work just as well on arms and hands too. And these are: Soap-free cleansing, regular non-abrasive exfoliation, sun protection and antioxidant-loaded products. Remember, fine wrinkles on the arms and hands from sun damage also may be treated with retinoic acid. This treatment can improve your skin’s texture, reduce discolouration and increase collagen. Apply at least three times a week.
