YOUNG HANDS, FRESH FACE
Ageing hands
Your face looks fresh, but your hands seem older? Over the years your skin becomes thinner, drier and less elastic, and on your hands that really shows. The sun adds brown spots too. Here you can read where it comes from and what you can do about it.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
How to recognise ageing hands
You recognise ageing hands by skin that looks thinner, drier and less supple. Wrinkles appear on the back of your hand, it looks less full, and veins, tendons and bones show more clearly.
Brown sun spots, called lentigines, also show mainly on your hands. It stands out in the contrast: your face still looks fresh, but your hands tell a different story.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN
Why your hands look older
From your thirties your skin shows the first signs of ageing. The outer layer gets thinner, and your skin produces less collagen and elastin. As a result it loses firmness and resilience.
Sun speeds that up. UV light breaks down the elastic fibres in your skin, and it also plays a role in brown spots, especially on your hands and face. Smoking breaks down elastin and connective tissue too.
DRY OR AGED
Dry hands or ageing hands
Not every wrinkled hand is an ageing hand. Washing, disinfecting or working with cleaning products a lot washes away the skin's natural oils, and in winter dry heating and cold add to that. Your skin then looks dull and wrinkled, sometimes with small cracks. That's dryness, and it recovers with less soap, lukewarm water and a rich cream, ideally before bed.
Ageing is different: the skin gets thinner, loses volume and veins and tendons show, even when your skin is well hydrated. Not sure which of the two it is? The doctor can tell during a free consult.

PROTECT WHAT YOU HAVE
Protecting your hands
Sun damage is stored in the skin. What you build up in your youth shows later. That's why it helps to start early.
Apply a good sunscreen to your hands

NOT ONLY YOUR HANDS
Your neck and décolleté age along with them
The same skin ageing you see on your hands, thinner skin with less collagen and wrinkles, often shows on your neck and décolleté too. Below you can read what's possible for those zones, or plan a free consult straight away.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Rejuvenate ageing hands with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid fillers soften wrinkles and give your skin its volume back. The doctor fills fine lines, deep grooves and folds, exactly where your hands need it. The result looks subtle: nobody can tell you've been treated.
A hand filler starts at €350. Not happy? The doctor can dissolve the filler. Everything is listed on the filler prices.

First time filler and I was quite nervous to be honest. Neeltje immediately reassured me, asked thoroughly what I wanted and what not. In between, she kept checking if it was comfortable. Result is very subtle and natural and exactly what I hoped for. Next appointment is already scheduled.

Very fine experience with Dr. Diederick, felt well heard and he gives honest advice, even if that means something is not necessary. No pushy sales, which I greatly appreciate in this industry. The treatment itself was also simply good. Will definitely return.

GOOD TO KNOW
Visible veins on your hands
Many people are mainly bothered by veins that are clearly visible on the back of their hands. During a free consult the doctor looks at what's going on for you, and honestly tells you what a filler can and can't do for your hands.
If something suddenly changes on your hands, such as the colour, a swelling or a spot, see your GP first.
