Is Sclerotherapy right for my hands and arms? I worry that too many veins will need to be closed. (Photo)

You can rejuvenate the hands and arms very well with fillers, I suggest that first before removing the veins with sclerotherapy.  I love combining fillers with fraxel laser to tighten and improve texture. Belotero and Radiesse give natural looking results.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in hand rejuvenation.  Best, Dr. Emer. Best, Dr. Emer.

The posted pictures of arm and hand veins are the typical veins that I treat in this area.  I use a combination of endovenous laser for the larger veins and sclerotherapy for the smaller veins.  The cosmetic results are excellent but several follow up sclerotherapy sessions may be necessary.  Once these superficial veins are treated the blood will flow through the deeper veins without any danger to to circulation.

Although some practitioners do sclerotherapy for the hands and arms veins, I always recommend my patients to avoid it. There is the risk of developing chronic swelling on the arms that would be difficult to treat. I would suggest you to live happy with them. They are healthy veins and it is better not to disrupt them. Quite different from the protruding veins on the legs that most of the time are abnormal and the risk of reduce or eliminate them is usually very low.
