HAND TREATMENT

The first signs of aging skin on the hands start with the appearance of small imperfections and become more noticeable over time:

• Spots and changes in pigmentation on the back of the hands.
• Dry and rough skin due to loss of elasticity and lack of hydration.
• Deeper wrinkles around the knuckles, indicating a decrease in collagen.
• More prominent veins that highlight thinning of the skin.
• Thinning of the hands.

The skin on the hands is delicate and thinner than on the rest of the body. Additionally, it is almost always exposed to air, wind, and sunlight, as well as other daily aggressors like detergents. This is undoubtedly one of the main causes of premature aging. The constant need to wash hands for hygiene reasons also makes the skin more vulnerable to damage. Like the face, hand skin should be cared for, but it is often forgotten, leaving it unprotected from daily exposure to aggressors.

Yes. There are measures that can be taken to protect your hands, some of which are applicable to the rest of the body as well:

• Always use sunscreen.
• Apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
• Drink water (at least 2 liters per day).
• Use gloves when handling detergents or other chemicals.

There are various aesthetic treatments that can be successfully applied to rejuvenate the hands. The specialist doctor will determine the best one based on the patient's needs and desires. Nevertheless, the medical community considers it important that the best treatments are the least invasive and should meet the following requirements:

• Quick intervention;
• Effectiveness and long-lasting results;
• Simple and short recovery;
• No side effects.

According to these criteria, some of the best hand treatments include Biostimulators, Hyaluronic Acid, Facial Mesotherapy, and ResurFX.

Hand treatment with biostimulators begins with cleansing the skin to remove all impurities, followed by the application of a local anesthetic to prevent any discomfort. Subcutaneous injections of biostimulators are then applied to stimulate collagen production.

After treatment, the effects may appear visible, but they are due to the natural swelling of the skin. Effective results start to appear after about 6 weeks, progressively improving and lasting for approximately 24 months. Typically, a complete treatment is divided into 2 to 3 sessions with 6-week intervals between them.

This treatment is quick and painless, without the need for anesthesia or a prolonged recovery period. After cleansing the skin on the hands, the areas defined by Dr. Augusto Guerreiro are filled in. A very fine needle is used for this application, and the use of a topical anesthetic is optional.
Results are immediately visible and improve with each application. This aesthetic treatment can last between 12 to 16 months.

Facial mesotherapy can also be applied to the hands, making the rejuvenation aesthetic treatment more comprehensive, harmonious, and natural.

The application of this treatment on the hands involves the injection of a compound of hyaluronic acid and vitamins to reduce dark spots, improve hydration, and firm the skin. This procedure takes about 15 minutes and is painless (a topical anesthetic is applied). The result is immediate, and the effects can last between 6 to 9 months.

ResurFX laser treatment is used to reduce and eliminate wrinkles, scars, and spots. It is an aesthetic rejuvenation procedure also applied to hand treatment.
This innovative technique involves emitting beams of light that penetrate different layers of the skin and increase the production of collagen and elastin, promoting natural skin renewal. Depending on the patient's needs, hand treatment can be completed in just one session.
Although painless and minimally invasive, ResurFX may leave some red marks on the skin that will disappear quickly. This hand treatment provides immediate results that last for about 6 months.
