Longer term risks of hand vein sclerotherapy?

May 6, 2018
Asked By:useris101 in Ottawa, ON

If you treat the visible bulging veins on the hand/outer lower forearm, does this pose a real risk if you need an IV in the future? Also, technical question: If you inject only one vein that eventually branches off into 2, do you affect both veins? In other words, how far do the effects of sclerotherapy travel?
