Hello, II have met with 2 doctors about hand rejuvenation. I initially asked about sclerotherapy because I saw good before and after pics for that. However, one doctor said yes, he would do it; while the other doctor said, no he would not do it. They both told me about the risks of sclerotherapy on bulging veins on the hands, but I'm still wondering which would be better (sclerotherapy or filler - and if filler, what kind) thank you so much (54 F)
Answer: Consider An HA Volumizing Filler For Rejuvenation Of The Backs Of The Hands As a rule, I do not suggest sclerotherapy for prominent veins on the backs of the hands for a couple of reasons. For one, the veins have become prominent due to the loss of volume in the surrounding and overlying skin. So, it is logically more appropriate to restore the lost volume (which can be relatively easily done with a robust HA volumizing filler), rather than shrink the veins with sclerotherapy. This approach addresses the underlying cause of the problem, which sclerotherapy does not.

Answer: A hydrating filler combined with a resurfacing laser and melapeels can help improve appearance of hands. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Hand Rejuvenation Renuva is a great option to rejuvenate not only hands, but many areas. Renuva is different than traditional HA fillers. It gradually replaces age related fat loss with your body's own fat for longer lasting results. I encourage you to learn more by visiting my website or meeting with an elite injector near you.

Answer: Hand Rejuvenation with sclerotherapy or filler Thank you for your query. Sclerotherapy is infrequently done for the hand veins but it can be safely done for limited number of veins. Filling with hyaluronic acid fillers or autologous fat is often preferred . I prefer the latter and it gives very good rejuvenation. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns.All the best!
