Ageing hand treatment at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford targets volume loss, pigmentation and thinning skin. Doctor-led rejuvenation restores smoother, healthier and more youthful looking hands.
Ageing hands refer to the visible signs of volume loss, thinning skin, dryness and pigmentation that develop as the hands mature. Over time the natural fat padding beneath the skin reduces. This causes veins, tendons and bones to appear more prominent. The skin can also develop crepey texture, fine lines or sun related pigmentation. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford we offer a doctor led approach to hand rejuvenation and skin restoration, helping your hands look healthier, smoother and more balanced.
Many people feel their hands age more quickly than their face. This is because the hands are constantly exposed to sunlight, environmental stress and daily movement. With fewer oil glands and thinner skin, the hands naturally show signs of change earlier and more noticeably. Understanding why this happens helps us plan the right combination of treatments and skincare support.
The ageing process in the hands is influenced by several biological and environmental factors. As collagen and elastin levels decline, the skin becomes less firm and less able to retain moisture. At the same time, the natural fat that supports the backs of the hands begins to reduce. This creates hollowness and increases visibility of veins and tendons.
Sun exposure plays a major role. Ultraviolet light breaks down collagen more quickly and contributes to pigmentation, age spots and uneven skin tone. Daily activities such as washing, exposure to chemicals and general wear can also weaken the skin barrier and contribute to dryness and roughness.
The combination of volume loss, thinning skin and pigmentation often creates a noticeable contrast between the appearance of the hands and the face. Hand rejuvenation at Cannelle helps restore harmony by improving structure, tone and hydration.
Ageing most often affects the backs of the hands, where the skin is thinner and more exposed. Typical changes include:
These concerns often appear together, which is why a combined treatment approach is usually the most effective.
Ageing hands affect both men and women, typically from the late thirties onwards. However, some people notice changes much earlier due to genetics, lifestyle factors or frequent sun exposure. Those who have naturally fine skin or who spend significant time outdoors often experience earlier signs of ageing. Individuals who use harsh products, sanitiser or frequently wash their hands may also see dryness and thinning develop more quickly.
Many patients at Cannelle mention that their hands no longer match the youthful appearance of their face. This mismatch can create self consciousness, especially during social or professional interactions. Doctor led assessment helps determine whether volume loss, pigmentation, collagen decline or dehydration is the primary cause.
