Crepey hands, and NeoGen before winter
NeoGen for crepey hands at Emmanuel Hall, The Lee, near Great Missenden and Amersham. From £350. What the week looks like, and why I treat hands on their own.
Faces get the attention. Hands give you away. I see it every October at Emmanuel Hall, when the jumpers come out and women in Great Missenden, Amersham and Chesham notice the skin on the back of the hand has gone thin and crepey. Rings sit differently. Veins show more. Foundation is not an option there. That is why hands are their own NeoGen appointment, from £350, not a throw-in at the end of a face.
NeoGen is nitrogen turned into plasma and passed over the skin. It is not a laser and it is not a peel you book on your lunch hour. The heat reaches the layer where collagen is made, so the skin can thicken and smooth without a cut. On the hands I am careful with the energy. The skin is thinner than a cheek, and you still have to wash, drive and cook. I will tell you the setting before we book a date.
What the week is actually like
You go home the same day. The backs of the hands feel warm and tight. Over the next few days they often look a little darker, then dry, then they flake. Do not pick. Do not scrub them in the sink because you are bored of it. Most people are through the obvious part in 3 to 10 days. Gloves for washing up are not vanity, they are how you stop the barrier getting angrier. Factor 50 still matters in a Buckinghamshire winter. Low sun on a lane is still sun. Heliocare is the one I use.
Why I do not bundle them onto a face by default
A face starts at £750. Eyes start at £350. A neck on its own is from £450. Arms are from £750. Hands are from £350 because they are a full area, with their own healing, not a free extra. If the face is what you mind, we do the face. If the hands are what you notice every time you hold a glass, we do the hands. Doing both on the same day is a bigger recovery, and I will only suggest it if your diary can take it.
I treat at Emmanuel Hall, Swan Bottom, The Lee, Great Missenden, HP16 9NN. Amersham and Chesham are a short drive. Wendover, Berkhamsted, High Wycombe, Aylesbury and Beaconsfield are reasonable when the weather is ordinary. Write to clinic@eliveate.me or call 07554 773396. Monday to Friday, 9 until 6. Saturday by appointment.
Questions I get asked
How much is NeoGen for hands in Buckinghamshire?
Hands start at £350 with me, Jade, at Emmanuel Hall in The Lee, near Great Missenden. They are their own appointment, not an add-on.
How long do hands take to heal after NeoGen?
Usually 3 to 10 days of tightness, darkening and flaking. I name the energy before we book, because a stronger setting is a longer week.
Can I have NeoGen on my hands and face the same day?
Only if you can spare the recovery for both. I would rather do the area you actually mind first.
