Will hand sclerotherapy worsen Raynauds syndrome?

mimisageMay 2, 2019
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?

Terrible!! You are right; the skin looks damaged. The reason, the high concentration of the solution that was used.  With time it should fade.

Neck veins are supposed to be more prominent at different times. They are an important part of your circulation and should not be removed.

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.
