As we get older, the skin of the hands It loses its shine and elasticity; it becomes rough and spots may even appear. The skin on the hands is thinner than on other parts of the body, so the signs of aging are more evident.
Being more vulnerable, skin tends to age rapidly, as it is constantly exposed to various external agents such as sun exposure, the effects of pollution, temperature changes, cleaning and sanitizing products, stress, and of course, the passage of time. These elements gradually diminish the skin's radiance, smoothness, and elasticity.
Age spots on the hands are a clear sign of aging; fortunately, just as with the face, there are treatments available to lighten or eliminate them. Our cosmetic doctor... Dr. Javier Capote has developed a Treatment Package: Premium Hand Rejuvenation, specially formulated to remove stains from the hands and stimulate collagen formation, achieving an overall improvement in the appearance of the skin of the hands and therefore its rejuvenation.
This treatment is performed in two complementary phases that act on pigmentation, skin quality and volume loss.
Phase One: Radiesse
Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxyapatite) is one of the newest, most effective, and longest-lasting treatments for rejuvenating the backs of the hands. It involves injecting a vial of the product into the backs of the hands, distributing it evenly, and massaging the area. It is performed in a single session. Topical anesthesia is applied before the treatment. Post-treatment effects: small bruises may appear in the treated areas.
This treatment aims to restore lost volume to the hands, provide greater hydration and make prominent veins less visible; giving a natural and rejuvenated appearance to the back of the hands.
Although results are usually immediate, you'll see a gradual improvement over the following days due to the stimulation of collagen production, which translates into longer-lasting benefits. These results last for approximately one year, as the body naturally reabsorbs the product.
Second phase: IPL (intense pulsed light)
He IPL or intense pulsed light, This technology is similar to laser treatment; ideal for treating pigmentation (age spots, freckles, pigmented spots, etc.) and small blood vessels. The light energy penetrates just below the skin's surface, affecting the skin's pigment (melanin) and blood vessels. The body's natural skin repair mechanisms then eliminate the pigment or blocked vessels, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion. For maximum treatment effectiveness, follow-up appointments are performed. 2 sessions, The two treatments are performed one month apart. Topical anesthesia is applied for this treatment. Post-treatment effects are minimal: slight reddening of the skin during the first 24 hours.
