Can lasers, microneedling, or chemical peels be done on the palms?

Hello,

Yes, lasers, microneedling, and chemical peels can be performed on the palms, but their use in this area is less common compared to other parts of the body, such as the back of the hands. Here’s a brief overview of each treatment:

Lasers: Certain laser treatments can be used on the palms to address issues like pigmentation or to improve skin texture. However, the thicker skin of the palms may require different settings or types of lasers compared to those used on the back of the hands.

Microneedling: This treatment can be used on the palms, but it requires careful consideration due to the unique thickness and structure of the skin in this area. Microneedling can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

Chemical Peels: While chemical peels can be applied to the palms, they need to be chosen carefully to match the skin's tolerance and the desired outcome. The skin on the palms is more resilient, so stronger formulations might be necessary.

It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment based on your specific goals and skin type.

Yes, skin treatments commonly used for the face often can be done on the hands. There may be better alternatives though in order to achieve the goals. I encourage you to begin by visiting with a medical aesthetician to assess your concerns and recommend proper treatments.
