Ageing hands

Many women unfortunately forget that a youthful appearance is not only judged upon the condition of the face, neck and décolleté, but also the condition of the hands. Our hands do just about everything and since our hands are exposed to these outside factors most of the time, it results in visible signs of ageing more than other areas of our body. These ageing signs include age spots, thinning skin, enlarged veins and a bony appearance. The hands are usually ignored in the average woman's skin care regimen and thus give our age away before our faces do.

With the advent of photo rejuvenation treatments, virtually any patient can be a candidate for a little brightening of their skin. The new concept today is to start with photo rejuvenation devices early so as to prevent the deterioration of skin colour and texture as one gets older.

At Body Renewal, we offer topical therapies such as the newly launched Luminesce range by Lamelle, a first in the industry, to treat ageing hands.

• Luminesce has 4 innovative peptides that will dramatically reduce the appearance of pigmentation within 8 weeks
• Luminesce works by blocking numerous pathways in the skin that produce pigmentation
• No redness or sensitivity is experienced with Luminesce as with traditional products
• Anti Ageing benefits and brightening is an added benefit
• Luminesce is suitable for all skin types

In addition to topical therapies such as Luminesce, our hand rejuvenation in office treatments offer a solution to those looking to restore a youthful appearance to their hands. As ageing hands are a multi layered problem, the Hand Rejuvenation packages offer a combination of treatments that will treat all of the ageing problems mentioned above. A highly professional team led by a medical doctor assesses every patient and an appropriate combination treatment together with long term maintenance program is recommended. Every client is provided with a fully customised solution dependant on expectations, budget, time and medical conditions.

Body Renewal Tip:

To instantly refresh skeletal looking hands, injectable fillers such as Juvederm can add volume and plump up the skin on the back of our hands. The hyaluronic acid present in the Juvederm attracts water and rehydrates the skin for a period of 10 to 12 months. An added benefit is that new collagen formation is promoted for more long term beneficial effects. The treatment takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and ice is on hand to reduce the pain factor.
