Your hands face daily exposure to the sun, dry air, and temperature changes that are a part of life in Arizona. While the focus is often on protecting and rejuvenating facial skin, the hands often show the signs of aging even sooner because of this constant exposure. At Lazaderm in Chandler, AZ, we provide treatments that can improve these visible changes and refresh the skin on your hands.
What Causes the Hands to Age?
The skin on the hands often ages faster than other areas because it has less fat and fewer oil glands to keep it supple. Constant exposure to Arizona’s dry climate and strong sun can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin and lead to thinner skin and visible wrinkles. Daily tasks such as washing hands frequently and using cleaning products strip away natural oils, leaving the skin more vulnerable to irritation and dryness. Blood vessels also become more prominent as the skin thins, which makes age-related changes even more noticeable.
Signs of Aging Hands
Dark spots or patches caused by sun exposure
Wrinkles and fine lines that are more visible when the skin loses elasticity
Prominent veins and tendons due to thinning skin
Loss of volume that gives the hands a bony appearance
Rough or uneven skin texture
Caring for Your Hands
Protecting the hands starts with consistent skincare. Wash with a gentle cleanser that does not strip away moisture, and follow with a nourishing cream that replenishes hydration after each wash. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply it during the day since the hands are frequently exposed to sunlight, even while driving. Mineral-based sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide can provide effective protection without leaving a greasy residue, which makes them easier to use regularly. Wear gloves when using cleaning products or gardening to prevent further irritation, and apply creams rich in ceramides or hyaluronic acid to maintain softness and flexibility in the skin.
Treatment Options for Aging Hands
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve the texture and tone of the hands by exfoliating the outer layers of skin. When the dull or sun-damaged surface cells shed, healthier skin emerges, which helps lighten dark spots and smooth rough patches. The process also stimulates new cell turnover, allowing the skin to gradually look brighter and more even in color. Consistent treatments can make a noticeable difference in discoloration on the hands.
Laser Hand Rejuvenation
Laser hand rejuvenation uses energy to address sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. The laser breaks down areas of discoloration and allows the body to naturally remove the unwanted pigment. At the same time, the heat from the laser encourages collagen production, which improves firmness and minimizes fine lines. You can have smoother, more even-toned skin after a series of treatments.
Dermal Fillers
Volume loss in the hands makes veins and tendons stand out. Hand rejuvenation fillers restore fullness and create a more youthful look. The filler plumps the skin from beneath the surface, reducing the visibility of veins and improving overall texture. Results are fast and last for several months, depending on the type of filler used.
BBL® HERO™
Hand rejuvenation with BBL HERO can be particularly effective because the hands are constantly exposed to Arizona’s intense sunlight. BBL HERO is a light-based technology that treats discoloration and signs of sun damage. The treatment directs broad-spectrum light into the skin, where it breaks up unwanted pigment and stimulates new collagen production. With consistent sessions, you can see clearer skin and reduced signs of aging.
Hydrafacial®
A hand rejuvenation treatment with Hydrafacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one session. The process clears away impurities while infusing the skin with nourishing serums that restore moisture. Hydrafacials improve texture, soften rough spots, and give the hands a refreshed appearance. Since the treatment is gentle, you can schedule it regularly to maintain results and support overall skin health.
Our Treatment Process
Consultation and evaluation: The process begins with a consultation to evaluate the condition of your hands and determine which treatments will be most effective. During this step, your skin is examined for volume loss, discoloration, and texture changes so a plan can be made that addresses your concerns.
Customized treatment plan: After the evaluation, we recommend options that may include laser technology, fillers, or resurfacing methods. Each treatment focuses on improving areas such as pigmentation, volume, or skin texture, and they can also be combined for comprehensive results.
Treatment and follow-up: Once the plan is in place, you receive the treatment in a comfortable setting. We also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make adjustments to help maintain results. With consistent care, our hand rejuvenation treatments can help your skin recover from the effects of sun exposure and dryness that are common in this climate.
