aging hands TREATMENT AT GLOGEN BEAUTY CLINIC IN VANCOUVER

"Aging hands" refers to the visible signs of aging that occur on the hands over time. The skin on the hands is exposed to various environmental factors, and like the face, it can show signs of aging due to a combination of internal and external factors.  

Aging hands influenced by a combination of various items such as: 

• Loss of Skin Elasticity: The natural aging process, combined with factors like sun exposure and a decrease in collagen and elastin production, can lead to a loss of skin elasticity. 
• Volume Loss and Thinning Skin: The hands may experience a loss of volume, making veins and tendons more noticeable.Thinning of the skin is common, making the hands appear more fragile and aged. 
• Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure over the years can lead to the development of dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the hands. 
• Rough Texture and Dryness: Factors such as decreased oil production and exposure to harsh weather can contribute to dryness. 
• Decreased Subcutaneous Fat: The subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin may decrease with age, contributing to the thinning and sagging of the hands. 
• Reduction in Skin Firmness: Loss of collagen and elastin results in a reduction in skin firmness and resilience.

 At GloGen Beauty Clinic in Vancouver we have a variety of treatments to resolve your aging hands concern. 

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, also known as photofacial or photorejuvenation, can be a beneficial treatment in the realm of anti-aging skincare. Here's how IPL can help with anti-aging treatment:

• Reduction of Sun Damage: IPL is effective in treating sun damage, including sunspots, age spots, and freckles on the hands by targeting melanin in pigmented lesions, breaking down the excess pigment and leading to a more even skin tone. 
• Stimulation of Collagen Production:  IPL can stimulate collagen production in the skin's dermal layer causing improved skin elasticity, firmness, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improvement in Skin Texture: By targeting uneven pigmentation and fine lines IPL can make an improvement in overall skin texture. 
• Enhanced Skin Luminosity: IPL treatments contribute to an enhanced skin luminosity by addressing pigmentation issues and promoting a more even complexion.

 LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a non-invasive and gentle approach to anti-aging treatment. LED lights, particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths, can have positive effects on the skin's health and appearance. Here's how LED therapy helps in aging hands treatment:

• Stimulation of Collagen Production: LED therapy with red light stimulates fibroblast cells in the skin to produce more collagen. 
• Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The collagen-stimulating effect of LED therapy helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the hands. 
• Increased Blood Circulation: LED therapy enhances blood circulation in the treated area.Better blood flow supports the skin's natural healing processes and contributes to a healthier appearance.
• Reduction of Inflammation: LED therapy has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and inflammation on the hands which result in even skin tone.
• Decrease in Sun Damage: LED therapy can assist in reducing signs of sun damage, such as sunspots and hyperpigmentation on the hands.
