Sclerotherapy For Ordinary Bulging Veins On Arms and Hands? (photo)

June 15, 2012

Can I have sclerotherapy done for the non-varicose/spider veins on my arms and hands? I only want the majority of them gone so I can still have blood tests. Also, being a guitarist will this affect my playing i.e. stiffness in hands or pins & needles? And another question, sometimes when my veins enlarge my skin becomes red around them, especially in fluorescent light, will removing these veins prevent this redness? Thanks.
