You may speak about facials, body scrubs, and spa days, but let’s not lose sight of one of the most important parts of our body – our hands.
They’re exposed to everything: All the hard weather, countless washes, and all the day-to-day activities.
Therefore, why not pamper them a little by giving them the much needed attention?
Today, I’m diving into the world of luxurious hand treatments that go far beyond your average manicure.
Believe me, once you try these and your hands will be so happy that they will thank you.
It is time to go on a tour of the most lavish palm pampering to where every treatment is fit for a queen or king.
Why We Need to Pamper Our Hands
Before we look at the treatments themselves we need to find out why this is an issue which is of great importance.
We generously apply moisturizers, serums and sunscreen to our faces but seldom do we spare our hands the same treatment.
They are always in contact with many influences such as UV rays, cold air, pollution and drying soaps and chemicals.
This eventually results in premature aging (wrinkles, spot formation and dry skin).
Thus, people can notice the first signs of aging on their hands because the skin of the hands is thin and delicate compared to the rest of the body.
That is why making it a point to incorporate sumptuous hand treatments must be viewed quite as a necessity as it is a luxury.
Hand treatments are not limited to their hydration.
They can make your hands become fresh and smooth, and occasionally can erase the appearance of aging signs altogether and leave you with soft, tender hands that look glamorous.
I’d like to share with you some of the most luxurious options that you can go for.
The World of Hand Rejuvenation Treatments
Hand Peels: The Ultimate Skin Renewal
Do you know there exists such a thing like hand peels?
If you ever thought peels are only limited to your face, then I bet you’ve been missing out a lot!
A hand peel is undeniably a lifesaver especially when you have rough dry hands from doing numerous activities.
Typically these treatments entail an acid solution wash that is used to wipe the outer layer of the skin, lightening it and stimulating the growth of collagen.
Sounds dreamy, right?
The special thing about the hand peels is that they have all sorts of options for different skin problems, such as pigmentation, sunspot and skin that has a rough skin texture.
In addition, some of these treatments can invigorate the increase of new skin cells, giving you firm and effective looking hands in the future.
Paraffin Hand Dips: The Hydration Hero
Alright, let me tell you this, if you have not undergone a paraffin dip then you are missing out.
It reminds me of giving your hands a big, warm hug.
The procedure involves dipping your hands in warm melted paraffin wax that helps lock the moisture more than anything else.
The wax warms your hands, retains your skin and reduces joint pains (phew!).
The thing I like most about this treatment is the ability to moist my skin to the next level.
That means it is ideal for use during the cold seasons when your hands are so dry and cracked.
After the wax dries and is peeled off, your hands lack the smoothness and are as moisturized as you could ever imagine.
Microdermabrasion for Hands: Buffing Away the Years
There is the microdermabrasion for the facial skin you may have come across, however, you can also get this treatment for your hands.
This is next-level luxury.
In the therapy, a device with the diamond or the crystal is used to scrub your hands effectively to eliminate the dead skin cells while encouraging good collagen growth.
One of the advantages of microdermabrasion is when you are faced with age spots, sun damage or fine lines.
It removes the top layer of the skin and when I say that your hands will look new, trust me, your hands will feel new too.
It is a treatment that involves regeneration and the effects of this technique can be seen after one procedure.
Indulgent Hand Massages: Relaxation Meets Skincare
Lymphatic Drainage Hand Massage: Detox and Refresh
But now it is time to discuss hand massages.
And no, I’m not referring to ordinary massages here and there, I am referring to lymphatic drainage massages.
This type of hand massage aims at the flowing of a substance known as lymph in order to aid in the process of removal of wastes in the body.
An excellent therapeutic massage should be applied gently to encourage the flow of lymph, peaks and reduce swelling, acceleration of circulation and giving your hands a lighter and fresh look.
This massage is not only relaxing but also has so many benefits especially for the enhancement of the beauty of the skin.
Improved circulation now results in your skin cells being supplied with oxygen and nutrients hence resulting in healthy and glowing skin.
Thus, if you want an experience that is a cross between detoxing and getting a spa treatment, then this lymphatic drainage hand massage is for you.
Reflexology: More Than Just a Massage
You have likely heard about reflexology of feet but did you know similar services can be done on your hands?
Reflexology stems from the belief that looking at a map of the hand and feet will show areas that are linked to particular zones on the body.
A reflexologist works on those points and this is good for your hands also as well as for the whole body with curative and balancing effects.
This is what I would call holistic care – mind, body and soul therapy.
This is just what your hands need, while your whole system can work and feel much more harmonious and in tune.
It is a very calming procedure that offers the opportunity to get a wealthy treatment at the same time.
In addition, your hands will feel ethereal and easy to maneuver after the session to give that great feeling.
Anti-Aging Treatments: Turn Back the Clock
Hand Fillers: Plump Up the Volume
If you are that serious with the idea of reclaiming the lost years, then fillers on the hand might interest you.
Like facial fillers this procedure entails use of fillers (like hyaluronic acid) to fill up the visible spaces on the hands that have contracted due to aging.
Our hands may appear bony, veiny and thin over a period because of aging, but fillers can change that in just one pampering session.
The best part?
The outcome is fairly quick.
You get a result within the shortest time possible.
You enter the clinic with hands that appear dull and like someone’s great grandmother’s and leave with gorgeous, youthful hands.
It’s as simple as trying to give your hands a makeover, a mini face lift if you like.
The outcome takes half a year up to a year, so this is a great investment in one’s beauty.
Hand Brightening Treatments: Banish Dark Spots
Hyperpigmentation is one the main undesired effects of the aging process which manifests on the skin of the hands.
Lucky for you, there are treatments that can brighten up your skin, including that aspect of it nevertheless.
Generally, these treatments involve employing very mild chemical peels for the lightening of the skin, and for enhancing the hands skin radiance.
The beauty about hand brightening treatments is how drastic it can turn out to be.
The effect of dark spots?
Well, they give your hands a glimpse into age they are not, but within one session, you should see a difference.
This treatment can help fade blemishes and also reduce the appearance of new ones, thus making your hands look younger.
Hand Laser Therapy: Advanced Anti-Aging
If you are searching for the contemporary solution that eliminates the ways to aging, hand laser therapy can be an ideal solution you have heard of.
One of these techniques involves use of lasers to treat age spots, sun damage, and wrinkles, in the process encouraging the formation of collagen and skin layer renewal.
In other words, it is like receiving your hands to a youthful state when they were soft, shiny, and young.
Hand laser therapy is better for those people who need more powerful treatment and the result of which will last a long time.
The laser works with the dermal layer of the skin to promote the synthesis of collagen cells, thus suggesting that there will be continuous renewal of skin tone and texture weeks after the treatment.

Exfoliating Hand Scrubs and Masks: Deeply Nourishing Care
Finally, but perhaps, the most exciting section, hand scrubs, and masks.
