We all know about the "selfie" - but lets talk about the "engagement selfie" seeing that its wedding season. The craze continues!

"Will you marry me?" - the four little words that usher in months of planning, celebrations and, of course, showing off your new engagement ring.  These days, social media has become the premier way of disseminating the news. 

And the pressure to show a new rock these days is amplified when so may of our favorite Hollywood stars show off their rings on Twitter, Instagram, and many a red carpet. From George Clooney's girl, to Jessica Simpson, Courtney Cox, and Lauren Conrad, wedding bells will be ringing for a while in Tinseltown. 

Brides-to-be are heading to their Faceboook status updates and Instagram to post "selfies" of glistening diamond rings with hashtags like #wereengaged and #putaringonit.

But while most brides make sure to keep a fresh manicure to show off their ring, this new visual platform for engagement announcements is stirring up some new insecurities. Hands are one of the first places on the body to age, and apparently Instagram filters that smooth out our skin are just not enough to mask their imperfections.

"Hand lifts" have been gaining in popularity, especially for brides-to-be. New York City dermatologist Dr. Bruce Katz of the JUVA Skin & Laser Center told us recently that the procedure is not new, but the age of the clientele opting for this type of treatment is now skewing younger. 

"Often neglected in our sun-care routine, the hands are highly susceptible to aging because of thin skin in that area," Dr. Katz explained.  "As we age, the skin on the hands can lose fat, becoming more thin and bony with prominent veins and wrinkles."

"Social media has certainly led people to be more concerned about their appearance and how they present themselves, so if women can receive a quick procedure to make themselves feel less self-conscious, it's something that they are willing to do."

So what to expect? Dr. Katz usually prescribes a combination of injections and non-invasive laser treatments for the most effective, long-term results.  He injects Radiesse into the hands to smooth out wrinkles and plump the skin with instant results.

The physician also utilizes an Alexandrite laser that employs state-of-the-art technology to effectively remove excess pigment from the skin - clearing up sun damage and age spots. The treatment takes less than 20 minutes and results begin instantly.
