Our bodies are just as susceptible to the signs of ageing as our faces, yet the vast majority of time and money is spent on tackling facial issues such as wrinkles, lines, sagging skin and pigmentation.
Yet neglecting other areas can just highlight a discrepency – the contrast between treated and untreated areas can look ‘odd’.
Even superstar A-listers suffer from this dilemma – Madonna’s hands have been pictured many times and been in the news; showing thinning skin and bumpy veins in stark contrast to her smooth-skinned face – giving rise to the somewhat unkind expression ‘Madonna Mitts’, describing a person whose hands look a lot older than their face.
These pictures show the results that can be achieved with professional hand rejuvenation treatment.
SkinViva’s Dr Lucy had a patient who was very unhappy with the appearance of her hands. The left hand shows:
By comparison, the right hand looks fresher and younger.
It has been treated with Juvéderm injectable dermal fillers, which can be used to add volume to the skin which is lost over. This product is a hyaluronic acid filler, which is based on a naturally occurring substance within the skin which retains water. However, hyaluronic acid depletes with age, which can make the skin appear thinner.
Injectable filler treatment for hands costs from £350 at SkinViva.
