Are there any doctors near me that can help with hand veins? (Photo)

Question

Not only are they unsightly but now in the last 2 years they are starting to burn and feel like pins and needles. It’s very hard to find a vein clinic that will even set me up with a consultation about hand veins. Please help

It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Your hand veins can be treated.  I use a combination of endovenous laser and sclerotherapy and , in fact , today I am treating 3 different sets of hand veins.  Go to the websites of vein directory and American College of Phlebology and they can direct you to someone in your area who can treat hand veins.
