When it comes to skin treatments in Portland, why do the hands always get left behind? They really don’t have to anymore. Hands can show our age just as much as we want them to. So let’s talk about hands and arms.
Skin Rejuvenation
Your choices for improvement have really come a long way. First there are all of the brown spots (from all of those great summers in the sunshine). A breakthrough treatment is the brand new Fraxel Dual. This is gentle for our patients and extremely effective. This new use of light at the 1927 wavelength band is great for removing unwanted pigmentation as well as improving those fine lines on the backs of hands. This laser treatment seems to bring the pigment to the surface, with a fine shedding that follows, with some redness and recovery over 1 to 2 weeks. Our patients are doing well in as few as 1 to 2 treatments. Treatment doesn’t have to stop at the wrist, but can go all the way up the arms as well. Layered Light can combine both selective other lasers for pigmentation and Fraxel 1927 for even greater gain in each treatment session.
A Plump, Youthful Appearance
I hear from my patients, “my hands just look so thin, so bony.” Here is where injectable fillers can be extremely effective. My favorite filler at this time is RADIESSE. What a great filler for the backs of the hands! RADIESSE is a filler that is both natural and a collagen stimulator, so results can last as well.
Your hands and arms can look great if we give back some fullness to the hands, lessen the size of veins, improve and regenerate the skin roughness and even out color. Welcome to the world of laser medicine and Layered Light™.
