You spend hundreds of dollars protecting and treating your face. SPF every morning, serums, professional treatments. But your hands? They get the same sun exposure, the same wear, and almost none of the same attention. The result is that for many people, their hands reveal their age far more than their face ever does.
The good news is that CO2 Laser Hands Des Moines clients trust at The Kissed Peach is one of the most effective ways to reverse that. And this September, all laser skin treatments including CO2 laser resurfacing are 15% off.
Why Your Hands Age Faster Than Your Face
The skin on your hands is thinner than facial skin and has fewer oil glands, which means it loses moisture more quickly and shows signs of aging sooner. On top of that, your hands are exposed to UV radiation, harsh soaps, cleaning products, and temperature extremes every single day, usually without the protection you give your face.
The result is a combination of concerns that most people start noticing in their 30s and 40s:
- Age spots and sun damage from years of unprotected UV exposure
- Loss of volume and skin laxity as collagen depletes
- Wrinkles, crepey texture, and visible tendons
- Uneven skin tone and rough texture
- Brown spots that continue to multiply with ongoing sun exposure
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature skin aging, and the hands are among the most consistently exposed areas of the body. Treating hand aging requires the same clinical approach as facial rejuvenation, and CO2 laser hands treatment near Des Moines delivers exactly that.
What Is CO2 Laser Hands Des Moines Treatment at The Kissed Peach?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly effective treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove the damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of fresh, healthy skin. The result is smoother, more youthful-looking hands with reduced wrinkles, age spots, and uneven texture.
At The Kissed Peach, CO2 laser hands treatment Des Moines clients love uses the Symmetry device by Rohrer Aesthetics, the first and only FDA-cleared device designed exclusively for hands. Symmetry uses SwiftScan intelligent technology to scan your hand and deliver precise, consistent laser energy tailored specifically to your hand size and skin needs. This means the treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach — the artificial intelligence within the Symmetry system calculates exactly how much energy and light are needed for your individual hands, removing pigmented lesions, brown spots, and other external signs of aging with clinical precision.
More than 65% of women over the age of 40 report wanting hand treatments, yet hands are one of the most undertreated areas in aesthetic medicine. Symmetry at The Kissed Peach changes that.
What Does CO2 Laser Hands Treatment Address?
CO2 laser hands treatment Des Moines at The Kissed Peach effectively targets:
- Brown spots and age spots from accumulated sun exposure
- Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin texture
- Skin laxity and loss of firmness on the back of the hands
- Overall dullness and rough texture that makes hands look older than they are
The treatment stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture and elasticity over time, delivering long-lasting improvements that go beyond what topical products can achieve.
Why Fall Is the Best Time for CO2 Laser Hands Treatment
Like all laser treatments, CO2 laser resurfacing requires avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment for optimal results. Fall is the ideal season to start because reduced UV exposure in the cooler months gives your hands the protected environment they need to heal properly and reveal full results.
Starting your CO2 laser hands treatment near Des Moines this fall also means your hands will be fully recovered and looking their best heading into spring and summer, when they’re most on display.
What to Expect From CO2 Laser Hands Treatment
Before treatment:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning on the hands in the weeks leading up to your appointment. Let your provider know about any medications or skincare products you use on your hands.
During treatment:
The Symmetry device scans your hand and delivers precise laser energy to the treatment area. Your provider will ensure you are comfortable throughout the session.
After treatment:
Some redness, sensitivity, and peeling is normal in the days following CO2 laser resurfacing as the skin heals and regenerates. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to support the healing process and protect your results.
Results:
Most clients notice visible improvements within a few weeks as fresh, healthy skin comes through. Results continue to improve over the following months as collagen production increases. Long-lasting improvements are typical with proper aftercare and sun protection.
