Hand Rejuvenation Newark

The contributing factors for aging of our hands are multifactorial including genetically based aging as well as environmentally induced aging. Environmental factors include unprotected sun exposure, weight fluctuations, hydration status, hormonal changes , medications and more. As we “age”, our hands are subjected to the same aging process of loss of collagen and elastin support to produce thin sunken hands as well as brown discoloration from sun exposure and hormonal changes. There are antiaging treatment options for hand rejuvenation that are designed to focus on either the thinning/sagging skin or brownish discoloration of the skin.

BTL Exilis Ultra

  • Noninvasive Radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production of the hand to rebuild the aging collagen and create a firmer and thicker appearing skin

Chemical Peels

  • focuses on brownish discoloration with some tightening of the skin
  • one time treatment in office with topical numbing cream
  • minimal downtime and risks

IPL (Intense Pulse Light)

Fillers

  • dermal fillers, Juvederm or Restylane to correct sunken and loose appearance of the skin of the hands
