Hand rejuvenation – treatment for firm and smooth hands

Our hands show the signs of the past. Working with them on a daily basis, frequent contact with water and all kinds of detergents dehydrate the skin in the long term. Every hour of exposure to UV light also causes the skin to age and so-called age spots or pigmentation disorders develop. Our hands are also not immune to so-called age warts from the second half of life onwards. These light brown to black, very small, sebaceous and sharply demarcated bumps on the skin are harmless. But they do spoil the appearance of the skin. In addition to the external ageing phenomena of the skin, there is a systematic breakdown of collagen fibres and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The back of the hand collapses, and deep folds form between the tendons. The thinner skin also causes more and more bluish veins or red veins to appear.

However, there is a remedy so that our hands no longer give away our true age. Experienced dermatologists are familiar with the symptoms and know the right treatment for skin rejuvenation. In a consultation, the experts will go through the options with you and give you personalised advice.

Hand rejuvenation – The methods for firm and smooth hands

Our experienced dermatology specialists will advise you individually to find the most promising method for your hand rejuvenation.
We generally use these methods for hand rejuvenation at the ETHIANUM:

CHEMICAL PEELING
In a chemical peel, substances such as fruit acids or trichloracid are applied to the skin. The skin reacts to the acid and sheds the top layers of skin. The skin peels. After a certain time, the acid is neutralised to stop the process. The skin then renews itself.

IPL PHOTOREJUVENATION
With IPL photorejuvenation, the IPL device is adjusted precisely to the depth of the pigmentation disorder. High-energy flashes of light then destroy the pigmented cells.

PIGMENT-SELECTIVE AND ABLATIVE LASERS
The pigment-selective and ablative laser enables a precisely defined depth. This creates a more even skin texture.

INJECTIONS WITH HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturiser and thus improves the structure and elasticity of the skin.

LIPOFILLING – INJECTION WITH THE BODY’S OWN FAT
Deep folds on the back of the hand can be effectively treated with lipofilling. To do this, fat is suctioned from a favourable area of the body and injected into the sunken tendon compartments after preparation. The injected fat is then specifically modelled so that the skin of the hand looks plumper and smoother again. Further information on this can be found in the aesthetic surgery section.
