Cosmetic Surgery in Fort Worth
If you have a great body and a young looking face, it won't matter at all if your hands give away your age. In fact, some people believe that hands are best way to tell how old a person really is. Hands get the most sun exposure, least protection, and perform the harshest tasks. Facial procedures are almost commonplace, so now, women are looking for solutions for aging hands. If you are looking for a cosmetic surgery for your hands, contact a surgeon in Fort Worth today, to help you decide which procedures that you may benefit from the most.
Age Spots
Age spots or liver spots as they are most commonly referred to as the most dominant signs of aging seen on the hands. Age spots are sun damage. Not very many people wear sunscreen on their hands, and even those who do, have a hard time keeping it on their hands for any length of time. If you manage to effectively protect your hands from the sun, hormones will creep up on you and color your hands with age spots. Fortunately, there are a variety of techniques for removing age spots. Some options your doctor may recommend to remove or fade age spots include:
Chemical peels
Laser treatment
Intense pulsed light
Topical bleaching agents
Retin-A
Alpha hydroxy
Once you have removed or faded the spots the only way to keep them from returning is to protect your hands from sun exposure.
Veins
As the skin thins, veins in the hands can become very visible and unsightly. Just like spider veins in the legs, this problem can be fixed. Sclerotherapy uses injections that cause the veins to clot, die and disappear.
Thinning and wrinkled hands
The laser treatments used to remove age spots can also help the skin to build up to its normal thickness, by stimulating collagen production. As your hands lose volume, wrinkles can become more apparent and your hands can start to look bony. Fat grafts can restore youthful plumpness and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can be used to smooth fine wrinkles and weathered looking skin.
Just like facial treatments, solutions for aging hands can range from a mild but effective surface treatment to complex reconstruction. It's really a matter of how badly your hands have aged and how far you want to go. Youthful looking hands complete an otherwise youthful body and face, and now are a realistic option for everyone.
