If, as Shakespeare observed “the eyes are the window of your soul,” your hands, then, are the external reflection of your age, health and well-being. They have been immortalized in prose, song and verse, since time immemorial, from the excerpt from the song “Daddy’s Hands” … “there was always love in Daddy’s hands,” to the descriptive imagery of the love poem of an anonymous author who declared, “whenever you are lonely, just look at the spaces between your fingers and remember that’s where my fingers fit perfectly.”
Over time, the rigors of daily life, prolonged exposure to an unforgiving sun, skin diseases like eczema, seborrhea and psoriasis can cause your hands to lose their shapeliness and alter their youthful appearance. The simple process of aging can be especially hard on the appearance of your hands.
There is no fountain of youth or secret treatment to turn back the clock and completely rejuvenate your aging hands but there definitely is hope. It’s ironic that you spend countless dollars on cosmetic surgery to keep your faces and bodies more youthful looking and overlook one of the most important portions, the one part of your body that shows your age more than any other, your hands. They are exposed to the elements on a continuous basis more than any other body part and, consequently, more readily reveal the damaging results of that on-going exposure.
If you are suffering from any of the blemishes, large, pronounced veins and age spots that often accompany the aging process, there is no need to hide your hands any longer. There is a solution. Hope is just as close as your nearest Derick Dermatology practice.

It can dramatically improve the appearance of your hands if they have become thin or frail looking, creating younger, more vibrant looking hands.
