What Will Happen to the Blood Flow in my Hand After Sclerotherapy?

Blood flow after sclerotherapy typically is unaffected in the extremities including the arms and legs. Generally, speaking sclerotherapy is used to clot small veins called venules that are propogated or grow during the aging process. If you stop the flow to these extra blood vessels, the normal blood flow is unaffected to the rest of your body.

When the superficial veins are sclerosed, the blood flow that typically passes through these veins is usually re-directed to other veins that typically lay deeper in the extremity.

I also treat hand veins with sclerotherapy and find it to be very effective. Patients dislike large prominent veins on the hands as they "show that they have aged". These are superficial and unnecessary veins and treating them has no deleterious effect on venous physiology of the hands.
