Ageing Hands

At Light Touch Clinic we provide treatment to relieve the signs of ageing hands and restore a youthful look to the skin.

About Ageing Hands

Just as the rest of our bodies age, so do the hands, in fact, our hands are one of the first places on the body where ageing becomes visible. The ageing process causes the skin to lose collagen and elastin – the substances that help the skin retain its youthful volume and ability to bounce back. As the backs of the hands naturally have thinner skin, compared to other areas of the body, this process has a more noticeable effect.

Our hands often have a high exposure to the sun which can speed up the rate at which ageing skin develops due to the UV light breaking down collagen and elastin.

Another big factor contributing to hand ageing is frequent washing and exposure to the many products that we use on a daily basis. The skin on the hands naturally contains less oil and less sebaceous glands, so by stripping the skin of these essential oils contributes further to the skin prematurely ageing.

Applying moisturising creams on a daily basis as well as a suitable SPF can help to keep the skin soft and supple and protected from the sun’s harmful rays. At Light Touch Clinic we also provide specialist treatment to help rejuvenate the skin on your hands. Book a consultation with one of our skincare experts to discuss the best treatment for you.

Ageing Hands – Frequently Asked Questions

Ageing hands are primarily caused by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic ageing is the natural ageing process that occurs over time, resulting in thinner skin, loss of fat and volume, and decreased elasticity.

Extrinsic factors include environmental exposures such as UV radiation from the sun, which can lead to photo-ageing. Skin damage that is caused by extrinsic factors is characterised by wrinkles, age spots, and skin roughness.

Frequent exposure to harsh chemicals and pollutants as well as smoking and poor nutrition can also speed up the ageing process of your hands.

It’s possible to reduce the effects of premature ageing of your hands by taking steps to protect your skin. Regular use of sunscreen on the hands can significantly reduce the risk of sun damage and in turn, reduce the likelihood of developing age spots and wrinkles.

Moisturising daily helps to maintain skin hydration and elasticity, while wearing gloves during household chores or exposure to harsh chemicals can prevent skin damage.

It’s also good to exfoliate the hands gently to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, staying hydrated, and avoiding smoking, can also support skin health and prevent premature ageing.

The common signs of ageing in hands include the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly on the back of the hands, where the skin is thinner.

Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are flat, brown patches that result from prolonged sun exposure. As we age, the skin on the hands may become thinner and less elastic, making veins, tendons, and bones more noticeable.

A loss of subcutaneous fat leads to a decrease in volume, causing the hands to appear bony and less plump. Dryness and rough texture are also frequent signs of ageing, often enhanced by environmental factors and lack of moisturising.
