Can hand sclerotherapy create new veins or make existing ones more prominent/larger?

October 31, 2013
Asked By:Finley33

I had sclerotherapy on the large veins on tops of my hands over 6 months ago and now my under wrist veins have gotten grossly HUGE and I have a new (or coming to the surface?) network of smaller veins on the tops of my hands and on my palms. I am actually bruising on my palms from doing normal everyday activities with my hands because of these new veins. What is going on - has my body created new veins to manage the circulation?
