Treatment options
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a treatment procedure used to reduce the appearance of hand veins. The procedure involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. This procedure is commonly used to treat spider veins, but can also be used on other types of hand veins, such as varicose veins.
During the procedure, a doctor will inject the sclerosing solution into the affected veins using a very thin needle. The solution irritates the walls of the veins, causing them to collapse and shrink. As the veins shrink, blood flow is redirected to healthier veins. Over time, the treated veins will fade away, leaving the skin looking smoother and healthier.
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for hand veins and is usually performed in the doctor’s office. There is usually no need for anesthesia and the procedure typically only takes a few minutes. After the procedure, the patient may experience some mild discomfort, such as itching or a burning sensation, but this should dissipate over time.
The results of sclerotherapy can be seen immediately, with the veins fading away within a few weeks. However, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results. It is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by the doctor, as this will help ensure the best possible outcome.
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of hand veins. It is important to consult with a qualified doctor to determine if this procedure is right for you.
