Laser resurfacing for crepey, wrinkled skin on sun damaged hands? (Photo)

October 27, 2015
Asked By:jumpingjacks in United Kingdom, GB

After one day of sunbathing with intense sun exposure to my hands without sunscreen, my skin started becoming dry, scaly and then even after plenty of E45 emollient moisturising, criss crossed wrinkles have increased with the skin turning slightly saggy and a more leathery look. I'm obsessed with sunscreen now and I use it daily but I think the damage has been done to my hands. Would Fraxel Restore be able to help with texture and wrinkles on my hands?
