Treatment For Aged Hands

If your concerned about texture or brown spots, I would recommend a chemical peel or a few Fraxel re:store treatments. For continued maintenance care, I woud use a moisturizer with a alpha hydroxy acid. If you are more concerned with volume loss, a filler like Radiesse would work quite well.

Just make sure to consult with someone with experience in this.

Chemical peels and laser treatments can rejuvenate off face areas

Chemical peels can help rejuvenate the skin of the hands. I have been happier with the new Fraxel Thulium (1927nm) laser for treating discoloration/sun spots of face, chest, arms and hands. Several treatments may be needed and sun protection is very important to avoid recurrence of the spots.
