I have met some wonderful vivacious women whose faces looked 10 or more years younger than their actual age but whose hands totally gave the game away.

The features that make us judge hands as being older include the brown discoloration of sun spots (some people call these age spots or liver spots), a dull rough skin texture, thinning of the skin and loss of tissue in the hands giving a skeletal experience.

A manicure helps to keep our hands looking younger but if you think your hands are giving away your age then you need the treatments below.

1. Chemical peels
   Medium-depth chemical peels help your hands by reducing sun spots, stimulating collagen formation and improving texture.
2. Uncross-linked hyaluronic acid injections
   Pure, uncross-linked hyaluronic acid adds 1000x its weight in moisture to your skin resulting in a plumper and more hydrated appearance.
3. Intense pulsed light (IPL)
   Shots of light target pigment in the skin, eradicating sun spots.
4. Pixel fractionated laser
   The Pixel laser stimulates new skin cell and collagen formation, resulting in thickening of the skin and improvement in texture and the appearance of sun damage.
5. Sculptra
   Sculptra injections stimulate the skin to make collagen, thickening and tightening the skin. Fat transplantations can do the same thing if you don’t mind a more surgical approach.
