Hand Rejuvenation
Do your hands give away your age?
The tell tale signs of ageing is usually our hands. As we age, our hands lose firmness and plumpness . Veins look more prominent , skin is thin and crepey in texture. In addition there may be tell tale sun spots visible.
Combating the ageing hand syndrome takes more than hand cream (though that simple step does make a difference). With advances in treatments now your hands will not give away your age!!
Complete Hand Rejuvenation involves treatment with Radiesse or Sculptra. Treatment of Sunspots involves the use of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light laser treatment)

Laser Treatment of Sun spots
using IPL™ is a non-invasive treatment
that treats skin damage without disruption of the skin’s
surface, hence, no “down time”. Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL™ ) can simultaneously treat a wide range of
concerns safely and effectively, such as broken capillaries,
benign brown pigment, age spots (sun-induced freckles),
mottled pigmentation and poikiloderma.
Both the pleasures and stresses of life, along with the
simple passage of time, tend to cause our skin to appear
older. And the signs of photo-ageing and sun damage are
typically most visible on a person’s face and body.
