Aging Hands
Over time, skin loses collagen, elasticity and volume, causing the hands to appear thinner or wrinkled, with more prominent veins.
Common signs of aging hands
The hands are often one of the first places to show visible signs of aging because they are in the sun all the time. Over time, skin loses collagen, elasticity, and volume, causing the hands to appear thinner, wrinkled, or more prominent in veins and tendons. Sun exposure can also contribute to discoloration and age spots that make the hands appear older than the face.
You may notice:
- Crepey or wrinkled skin
- Visible veins and tendons
- Brown spots or sun spots
- Thin, fragile skin
- Loss of fullness or smoothness
- Uneven skin tone and texture
At Steele Dermatology, we offer personalized treatment plans to improve the appearance of aging hands using advanced cosmetic dermatology treatments that restore volume, improve texture, and reduce sun damage.
What causes aging hands?
Several factors contribute to hand aging, including:
- Natural collagen and elastin loss
- Volume loss beneath the skin
- Chronic sun exposure
- Genetics
- Repetitive hand movement and environmental exposure
- Skin thinning over time
Because the hands are exposed to sunlight and environmental damage daily, they often develop signs of aging earlier than expected.
