HAND REJUVENATION

HANDS, NOT EYES, ARE THE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL
Some say that eyes are the windows to the soul. If that is true, what about our hands? Want to know a person’s real age? Just look at their hands. A study in the June 2008 issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), reported that most people can accurately tell a person's age by viewing only their hands. “Many patients we treat have a face that looks 40 years old and their hands look 70,” says Dr. Anil Rajani, a board certified physician and medical director at Emerge Medical Spa located at Bridgeport Village. Over the past several years he has performed over 12,000 procedures working with liquid face lift products including BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers such as Artefill®, Radiesse® and Juvederm™, just to name a few. He brings his wealth of experience and an aesthetic eye to rejuvenating aged and sun-beaten hands.


If your goal is to look more youthful or you are bothered by the appearance of your hands, you may seriously want to consider hand rejuvenation. Emerge Medical Spa’s Healthy Hands package is designed specifically to target the signs of aging on the hands. Dr. Rajani combines long-lasting injectable filler with IPL (Intense Pulse Light) to remove age spots, minimize wrinkles and discoloration. “
The physical characteristic that most commonly gives away age is prominent hand veins,” explains Rajani. “As we age, we lose muscle and skin elasticity, causing the veins to show through the thinning skin.” Just one of the products Dr. Rajani injects is Radiesse® to plump the skin and reduce the visibility of the veins. The filler can last between one and two years. Next, IPL (Intense Pulse Light) is used to reduce sun-induced aging on the hands, including brown pigmentation and age spots. Dr. Rajani explains that stimulating the collagen beneath the skin’s surface results in visibly thicker skin leaving even-toned skin.
For best results, the IPL treatment requires a series of three (3) treatments which are scheduled about four (4) weeks apart. The Healthy Hands treatment starts at $999. “Our patients are ecstatic! This treatment is virtually painless and requires little to no downtime. They find it very rewarding.”
Don’t forget to use sunscreen on your hands daily to help protect them from future damage.
