New Trends: Cosmetic Surgery on your Hands

Forget crow’s feet or a saggy neck as the telltale indicator of age. There’s a new way to really spot how old someone is: by taking a good look at their hands.

As we get older the skin on our hands thins, making us more prone to liver spots and varicose veins.

Not exactly the most attractive thing to showcase, celebrities like Madonna have been known to cover the hands with full- or half-gloves, earning the nickname “Madonna Mitts”.

Unless you want to spend the rest of your days wearing mittens during heat waves, here are a few things you can do to deal with aging extremities.

Because our hands are exposed to sun, wind, rain, and cold more often than other parts of our bodies, they have to toughen up to withstand the rough treatment.

Washing our hands with cheap soap every time we use the washroom does a number on them as well, as does doing the dishes without wearing gloves.

Try to remember to put on the rubbers before submerging your hands in hot water and to invest in quality hand soap with lotion to prevent the damage in the first place.

In the shower, take the time to gently exfoliate the hands to remove dead skin cells and encourage the growth of new ones.

Despite how much effort you put into preserving the youthfulness of your hands, it’s inevitable that they will eventually start showing signs of aging. But don’t get too worried- When that happens, there are still options available to you.

Profractional treatments include laser beams that treat thousands of tiny places on your hands to promote the production of collagen, plumping up your skin and reducing the look of wrinkle and saggy skin. It’s also a great way to target liver, age, and sun spots to take years off the look of your hands.

Injectable fillers are also an excellent way to bring youth and vitality back into the hands. Veins and bones are less visible, and the treatments make the skin look immediately better hydrated. Results are instantaneous and last up to one whole year for just one treatment.

Looking your best doesn’t have to be a lot of work, but it does take special care and attention from time to time. If you’re concerned with the look of your hands, don’t hide them behind a pair of mitts all the time- Treat yourself to a quick and painless hand treatment with a trusted medical professional to erase the look of aging from your body.
