Chemical Peels for Sunspots and Dark Spots: Rejuvenating Your Hands

Why do our hands age?

Sunspots and dark spots are especially evident on the top (non-palm) side of the hands and wrists. The hands and neck are frequently the first to exhibit indications of aging. Due to the regular sun exposure in certain places, pigmentation and wrinkling may occur, giving the appearance of aging. Our specialty at Azouz Surgery in Dallas is using cutting-edge procedures to revitalize your hands and give them a more youthful appearance.

What causes sun spots and dark spots?

UV radiation causes sunspots and black spots, commonly called age spots, to develop over time. They frequently form on skin exposed to the sun, including the scalp, face, hands, and neck. These pigmented lesions occur over time due to accumulated UV exposure, which gives the skin an aged appearance.

Chemical Peels for Hands

Chemical peels are a useful treatment for dark spots and sunspots on the hands and other parts of the body. They function by removing the outermost layers of skin, facilitating the regeneration of fresh, healthy skin to cover any damage.

Chemical Peel Types

• Superficial Peels: Lightly exfoliating treatments using mild acids, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
• Medium Peels: Deeper penetrating, stronger acids such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
• Deep Peels: Peels based on phenol or croton oil that provide noticeable improvements for severe skin conditions.

The best results come from medical-grade chemical peels applied by qualified medical professionals. Compared to aestheticians’ procedures, these peels deliver more notable outcomes because they reach deeper into the skin.

Why Opt for Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a kind of art; to get the right effects, you need to be skilled and precise. They are also reasonably priced, since sunspots and dark spots may usually be removed with just one well-executed peel. Every peel is unique, depending on the skin type of the patient, the peel’s concentration, and the necessary depth of penetration.

What to do after a chemical peel?

It is essential to shield your hands from more sun damage following a chemical peel in order to stop sunspots and dark spots from returning. We advise doing the following:

• Sunscreen: Use sunscreen every day that has an SPF of 35 or higher.
• Gloves: To reduce UV exposure, use gloves, especially outside.

Anti-aging Retinol Handcream

We advise utilizing medical-grade skincare products with active components like retinoic acid (Retin-A), hydroquinone, vitamin C, and kojic acid to maintain the health of your skin over time. These products assist in preserving the outcomes of your chemical peel and shielding newly formed spots.

If more dark patches and sunspots develop, more chemical peels can be applied. By rearranging collagen and elastin fibers, some chemical peels, such as TCA and phenol peels, can also tighten the skin, minimizing wrinkles and giving the illusion of younger skin.
