Ageing Hands

There is a well-known saying: “If you want to know a person’s age, look at their hands.”
The hands often age faster than the face due to constant exposure, delicate skin and reduced collagen support over time.

At Skin Architect, we offer a range of treatments designed to restore volume, smoothness and radiance to ageing hands, helping them reflect the same youthfulness and vitality as your complexion.

Book a consultation with our expert doctors to explore the most suitable rejuvenation options for you.

Conditions

Ageing Hands Explained

Hand ageing is extremely common. As the skin on the hands is naturally thin, it tends to lose elasticity more quickly, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and a crepey appearance. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, harsh weather, frequent washing and everyday wear can accelerate the process.

Hands can appear aged in several ways, including:

Wrinkled or Crepey Skin

Over time, collagen and elastin levels decline, making the skin less firm and more prone to fine lines and wrinkling. Frequent hand washing and contact with detergents can dehydrate the skin further, making it appear thinner and more creased.

Hand Hollows, Loose Skin and Prominent Veins

As the soft tissue under the skin diminishes with age—particularly after menopause—hands may appear bonier, and veins can become more noticeable due to reduced cushioning beneath the skin.

Age Spots / Sun Spots

Prolonged UV exposure causes pigmented patches to develop on the back of the hands. These brown marks, commonly known as age spots, become more common with age and are especially noticeable in those with years of sun exposure.

Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Options

Skin Architect provides a personalised approach to hand rejuvenation. Treatments may be used individually or combined for a comprehensive result, depending on your specific concerns.

During your consultation, our doctor will assess your hands and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.

Wrinkled or Crepey Skin

  • We recommend a skin-boosting injectable treatment that deeply hydrates and improves skin elasticity. These treatments encourage the production of collagen and elastin, helping the hands appear smoother, firmer and more youthful. They are particularly effective for fine lines and skin laxity, and are one of our most popular options.

Commonly Asked Questions

Our doctors specialise in anti-ageing treatments and understand that the hands can reveal age just as much as the face. We offer a range of safe, effective options tailored to treat different signs of hand ageing. A complimentary assessment with our medical team ensures a personalised treatment plan.

Results are long-lasting, but the natural ageing process continues. Maintenance sessions may be required to keep the hands looking youthful, depending on the treatment chosen.

Hand rejuvenation is available at our Skin Architect clinic in Bradford. All treatments are carried out in a clinical environment by trained medical professionals.

 

Certain in-clinic treatments and medical-grade skincare can help lighten pigmentation and even out skin tone. Your doctor will assess which option is most suitable during your consultation.
