Hand veins sclerotherapy

When it comes to varicose veins and spider veins, the face and legs get most of the attention. One area that does not get as much attention is our hands. Although prominent hand veins are normal veins, some may become bulgy and protrude at the back of the hand with age.

The three main factors that make hands look “old” include:

• Thick bulging veins that protrude from the back of the hand.  This occurs because of loss of skin and vein wall elasticity as we age.
• Age spots, mostly due to sun damage.
• Loss of tissue. As the hand becomes older, it has less subcutaneous fatty tissue.
