How to Prevent and Treat Hand Aging

Hand rejuvenation is possible through daily care and advanced treatments like Specific Hands by pbserum. Learn what factors contribute to aging hands and discover the most effective solutions to keep them young and healthy.

Why Do Hands Age?

Hands are often overlooked in daily care routines, despite being one of the parts of the body that most clearly reveal aging. Since we use our hands constantly throughout the day, several factors influence their aging.

Factors That Accelerate Hand Aging

Not all hands age the same way. The appearance of aging signs like brown spots depends on various factors: genetic (such as skin phototype), environmental (sun exposure or pollution), and skincare habits.

These are the main factors that accelerate hand aging:

  • Prolonged sun exposure: Photoaging is one of the most significant contributors to skin aging. Sun radiation accelerates the formation of wrinkles, spots, and loss of elasticity.
  • Exposure to weather elements, such as wind or cold, without adequate protection.
  • Lack of skincare: Moisturizing is essential to restore and maintain skin hydration, health, and beauty.
  • Frequent contact with water and irritating substances, such as detergents, soaps, bleach, disinfectants, dyes, etc., during daily, professional, or leisure activities.
  • Daily repetitive movements can promote fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Aging and hormonal changes, such as menopause, reduce estrogen and elastin levels. This results in drier, thinner, more fragile skin, which loses elasticity and develops wrinkles and spots.

9 Effective Ways to Prevent and Treat Hand Aging

Given the factors that accelerate hand aging, it’s important to adopt care habits that help keep them youthful and healthy.

1. Protect Your Hands from the Sun

Using sunscreen is essential to prevent photoaging (premature and accelerated aging) and the appearance of dark spots on the hands.

2. Keep Your Hands Moisturized

Apply hand cream at least twice a day — in the morning and at night. Carry it with you to use after washing your hands or whenever needed.

3. Wear Gloves for Housework

Gloves protect your hands from external agents and the chemicals used during household chores. Choose gloves suitable for the task: cleaning, gardening, DIY, etc.

4. Exfoliate Regularly

Regular hand exfoliation removes dead skin cells that darken and roughen the skin. It helps fade spots and provides a smoother, more youthful appearance.

5. Massage with Nourishing Oils

Massages relax the hands, boost circulation, and help eliminate toxins. Using natural oils — such as almond, argan, or coconut — provides deep hydration and nourishment.

6. Benefit from Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals responsible for oxidative stress, which damages collagen and inflames the skin. It also helps reduce spots and wrinkles on the hands.

7. Avoid Hot Water

Hot water irritates and excessively dries out the skin, damaging its protective hydrolipidic layer. Use cold or lukewarm water instead.

8. Add Antioxidants to Your Routine

Consuming antioxidant-rich foods — like vegetables, fruits, nuts, and oily fish — supports skin health and beauty from the inside, preventing cellular damage and premature aging.

9. Consider a Professional Treatment

If your hands show signs of aging such as spots and wrinkles, in addition to adopting healthy habits, consider professional hand rejuvenation treatments. Brown spots, dryness, wrinkles, dehydration, and volume loss require specific treatments to restore firmness, hydration, and a youthful look.

Specific Hands: Advanced Treatment for Hand Rejuvenation

pbserum, a leading dermocosmetic brand, has developed Specific Hands, an advanced treatment designed to prevent and treat hand chronoaging.

Powered by second-generation recombinant enzymes — the result of cutting-edge biotechnology — this professional treatment is minimally invasive. It allows topical application of active ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhancing treatment efficacy.

How the Active Ingredients in Specific Hands Work

The active ingredients in Specific Hands work together to reduce wrinkles and even out skin tone, significantly fading brown spots.

  • Collagenase enzyme promotes the regeneration and reorganization of collagen fibers in the dermis, improving skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
  • Liasase enzyme releases growth factors, encouraging the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for tissue regeneration.
  • Allantoin deeply hydrates the skin, improves texture, and prevents irritation caused by dehydration.
  • Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant essential for collagen production.
  • Ferulic acid has antioxidant properties that protect against photoaging and pigmentation. It supports collagen and elastin synthesis.
  • Tranexamic acid is particularly effective for stubborn, recurring dark spots.
  • DMAE provides an immediate and long-term firming effect, reducing wrinkles and sagging.

At-Home Treatment: Maintaining Results

The professional Specific Hands treatment, applied by a medical professional, is complemented by an at-home serum formulated with our enzyme Keratinase PB333. This enzyme naturally promotes skin renewal without irritation and enhances the penetration of other active ingredients like Collagenase, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and DMAE.

Daily use of this serum improves the appearance and firmness of hand skin, helping maximize the results of the professional sessions.
