You can rejuvenate the hands very well with fillers, I suggest that first before removing the veins with sclerotherapy.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I find that lasers do not work as well as sclero but you can get the laser treatments as early as 2-3 weeks after the sclero.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This can be treated by lasers or desicciation, I would avoid sclerotherapy to this area unless the person is an expert in this treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.One day without compression should not compromise your results after vein treatment. Although it is recommended to wear compression 1-2 weeks after treatment depending on your providers post-care instructions. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers...

This should be seen by a cosmetic laser dermatologist and can be treated with either IPL, Pulsed Dye Laser or Excel V.  However, the underlying vein should be treated in other ways to limit the amount of hyperpigmentation/hemosiderine deposition post treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.
