Treatment of prominent Hand Veins. (photo)

July 18, 2014
Asked By:Mia263 in England, Sussex

I would like to remove or reduce in size the veins on the back of my hands, but do not want to compromise my circulation or health. Vascular surgeons seem divided as to whether this is a safe treatment or not, with some saying the veins are important for draining the blood from the hands. I do not feel filler or fat transfer will sufficiently cover these veins. Also, how can Sclerotherapy 'reduce' the size of veins, but still allow blood to pass though them? Could this cause a blood clot?
