Cosmetic Surgery NY – Skin Rejuvenation New York

Aside from the face, hands can be one of the first places on the body to show signs of aging in our cosmetic surgery NY patients. Over time, the natural aging process causes skin to lose elasticity, resulting in sagging skin that doesn’t look smooth and supple as it once did. Our skin rejuvenation New York specialists can transform aging skin and take years off.

Additionally, the backsides of the hands lose fat as we age, allowing tendons and veins to show through and making them look old.

Sun damage also plays a significant role in the aging of our hands because most of have never used sunscreen there. Sun exposure, usually in the car when we’re driving, can cause more sun damage than on the face, neck or chest! Liver spots, fine lines, and wrinkles are all sun damage-related skin issues on the hands. Our Cosmetic Surgery NY and skin rejuvenation New York doctors offer wonderful options for the treatment of weathered-looking hands include dermal fillers, fat transfer (fat grafting), and laser resurfacing treatments.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser treatment using Fraxel™ can help remove the outer layer of spotted, wrinkled skin while at the same time stimulating the lower layers of skin to produce new collagen. The end result is skin that looks and feels brand new – because that’s exactly what it is! The Fraxel laser can also be performed on any other area of the body that is showing signs of aging including the face, chest, neck, and shoulders.

Four treatments are usually required to restore the proper levels of collagen in the skin to improve the skin’s appearance to the degree that the patient desires. However, if you are intervening early in the aging process of your skin, less than four skin rejuvenation treatments may be enough. Only one of our NY cosmetic surgery or skin rejuvenation New York specialists can determine what plan will work best for your individual needs.

Dermal Fillers in Our Cosmetic Surgery NY and Skin Rejuvenation New York Centers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that work with your body to softly and naturally fill in areas where wrinkles and loss of volume have occurred due to aging. This is especially helpful for the back of the hands. Some dermal fillers are collagen based or fat based and will be reabsorbed by the body over time. Thus, more than one treatment will be needed and on a regular basis.

Some other fillers are based on a different mechanism of action so that the presence of the filler actually prompts your body to make its own collagen over time, filling in where the injectable once was. Still other injectable fillers are made with substances that are meant to remain on a semi-permanent basis. Please ask us which dermal filler is right for you; it will depend upon your areas of concern as well as what you are trying to accomplish with the treatments.
