If you "need" them later in life for IVs they can't just use your arms?? I don't get it...
Answer: Sclerotherapy for hands--takes a series of treatments If you have sclerotherapy on veins in the hands, IV's can be placed in alternative areas like forearm and elbow. Keep in mind, it may take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Hand veins You are correct. Hand vein treatment is strictly a cosmetic procedure. If the hand veins are removed either by sclerotherapy, laser or through tiny incisions then the forearm or upper arm veins with need to be used for IV access. Also, I never remove the veins on the palm side of the wrist so these are available for possible future use.

Answer: Hand sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy in hands works very well. However, there will be permanent loss of vein access for iV placement . IV placement can be used in your arms without any problem.

Answer: Hand rejuvenation Hand veins are frequently used for IV medications but there are other options. Hand rejuvenation focuses on three things: Thinning of the skin and loss of subcutaneous tissue which reveals veins and tendons, sun damage causing age spots and large veins themselves. My first step is to address the skin using laser and/or IPL. Then, I recommend the use of Radiesse to restore the plumpness of the hand. Frequently, this hides the veins. If the veins are still an issue, sclerotherapy would be my next choice of treatment.

Answer: Hand Sclerotherapy?? Hand Rejuvenation? Fillers Hello, I am not clear as why you would like to do sclerotherapy on your hands!!?? A photo would be helpful. Instead, the most common approach would be to inject filler which is quite safe. that would add volume and I find it one of the best for hand rejuvenation. Radiess is FDA Approved and last 12-18 months. Other option would be fat transfer or better to say grafting. It is the best or only way to go grafting when the fat taken from your other area of body, APPROPRIATELY prepared and then inject it in the hands. Proper technique makes the fat grafting 80% successful while improper method, well 20-70% just matter of chance. Good Luck -- Dr Ray
