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.

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.
