Hand & Neck Anti-Aging: Why These Areas Age Faster — And How to Treat Them
Introduction
Most anti-ageing routines focus on the face, yet the hands and neck are often the first areas to show visible ageing. Thin skin, constant exposure, and neglect in daily skincare make these areas more prone to wrinkles, pigmentation, and sagging. The good news is that targeted treatments can rejuvenate the hands and neck effectively. At DrCosmetist, anti-ageing plans include these often-forgotten areas to create a balanced, natural-looking result.
Why Hands and Neck Age Faster
Thinner Skin and Less Support
The skin on the hands and neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands. This makes it more vulnerable to dryness, fine lines, and crepiness.
High Sun Exposure
Hands and neck are frequently exposed to sunlight while driving, walking, or working outdoors. Over time, UV damage leads to dark spots, rough texture, and loss of elasticity.
Volume Loss
As we age, fat and collagen decrease. On the hands, this reveals tendons and veins; on the neck, it contributes to sagging and lines.
Neglected Skincare
Many people apply quality products and sunscreen to the face but forget the neck and hands, accelerating ageing in these areas.
Signs of Ageing in Hands and Neck
- Brown spots and sun damage
- Creepy or loose skin
- Visible veins and tendons on the hands
- Horizontal neck lines
- Loss of jawline definition
