Our medical spa, Nu Vela, houses some of the most advanced laser and light systems that address almost all skin hyperpigmentation problems, and the cosmetic surgeon of the center, Dr. Raffi Dishakjian, is renowned for his expertise in cosmetic laser surgery.
Dr. Dishakjian recommends the following treatments for hyperpigmentation problems of the aging hands:
IPL treatment
The treatment is very useful for clearing away sun damage, such as age spots, sun spots, liver spots, etc. The dark spots are gently removed through short bursts of light delivered by the IPL machine. More about sun and age spots removal.
HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER IPL PHOTO REJUVENATION ONLY
Chemical peel
Depending on your skin type and the desired results, your physician may recommend a superficial, medium or deep chemical peel. Your surgeon will select the proper chemical or mix of chemicals (glycolic acid, Jessner, TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or carbolic acid). More about chemical peel.
Retin-A and glycolic acid derivatives
Topical applications of Retin-A and glycolic acid derivatives can repair sun-damaged skin and cause “age” spots to fade. Moreover, they stimulate the production of collagen.
Note that, no matter which of the above cosmetic procedures are chosen, your hands will need to be protected from future sun damage by regular use of sun protection. Consistent use of sunscreens will significantly prolong your improvements. Dermaceutical medical-grade serums provide additional anti-aging support.
