I'm 35, but my hands and forearms look much older. My fair skin ages faster than normal in response to sun exposure. (In constrast, the skin on my stomach is smooth.) First noticed my hands looked older than normal when I was nine. At one point, I was 80 lbs heavier than now, but I lost the weight slowly and have kept it off for 4 years. If I pinch an inch of skin towards my underarm, the tops of my arms look somewhat normal. Any ideas for treatment? Even when it's 100 degrees out, I wear long sleeves.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Radiesse for Hand Rejuvenation Thank you for your question and photos. Many patients share similar concerns about a seemingly increased rate of aging on their hands. A combination approach would suit you best – 1) BBL light therapy to the hands and forearms would help to eliminate or reduce brown spots as well as improvement the texture; 2) Radiesse (which is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and was among one of the FDA clinical trials I was involved with) injections would help replace volume lost and create a smoother contour; and finally 3) Sun protection! Wear your sunscreen everyday – even on the back of your hands. It’s an area often overlooked and neglected when it comes to sun protection. It may also be that you have excess skin of the upper extremity that may require removal with surgery, but that would need to be evaluated by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Improving Hand Skin Appearance Some suggestions for more Youthful hands: Besides prevention with sunscreen daily and moisturizers, Retin-A is helpful as are treatments with some of the more impressive lasers such as the Sciton BBL/SkinTyte and certain Fractionated lasers. As you age, skin cells lose their ability to make collagen and progressively die off rather than reproducing themselves (“DNA programmed cell death with age”).The Sciton Laser Platform allows multiple laser types and wavelengths to achieve both dramatic improvements of your skin but also maintaining its youthful appearance by reversing this process. See below for more information.

Answer: Treatment for premature aging of hands and forearms Thank you for the photos. Lines, wrinkles, and appearance of veins are usually treated with volume. Dermal fillers are very good at this. Solar damage, spots, etc. are often treated with a spectrum of modalities, microdermabrasion, peels of various intensity, and laser all have a place, depending on your condition and how aggressive you want to be. See your local board certified plastic surgeon. Together, you will come up with a plan.

Answer: Treatment for Prematurely Aged Hands The skin of the hands significantly thins as we age, along with the loss of soft tissue and muscle volume making hands appear much older. Making hands appear younger is a twofold process. Soft tissue fillers, such as Radiesse, Sculptra, or Fat Injections add youthful volume effectively hiding veins and increasing the thickness of the skin. Volume enhancement is coupled with IPL (FotoFacial) treatments to soften brown spots and provide improved skin texture. The result are hands that not only look younger, but appear more vibrant.
