Will hand sclerotherapy worsen Raynauds syndrome?

May 2, 2019
Asked By:mimisage in Fresno, CA

I have large bulging veins on my hands and am considering sclerotherapy. I have a mild case of Raynauds syndrome. Would this treatment further compromise my circulation to my fingers and worsen my symptoms from Raynauds?

I have a vein around each areola. Can laser treatment reduce their appearance?
Brian Heeringa, MD, FACS says:

I find topical lasers to be inferior to sclerotherapy for any vein big enough to get a needle into.  Sclerotherapy is the gold standard and will yield the best results.
