I have these bulging blood vessels of the backs of my hands that I really don't like. What can be done about them? Can I have them injected with sclerotherapy? Is it safe to do so?
Answer: Sclerotherapy on hands Sclerotherapy injection is a great way to improve the appearance of bulging veins on the hands. Sotradecol is a choice agent for sclerotherapy on the hands. The hands are elevated slightly during treatment and afterwards the hands are wrapped with gauze and elastic bandage to keep pressure on the treated veins. Often the hands are swollen and red in the areas treated for several days after sclerotherapy. Somtimes at about 2 weeks after injection, we will have the patient return to drain any clots that have formed in the superficial veins. This speeds healing and reduces discomfort.

Answer: Vein removal and hand rejuvenation
Radiesse is a wonderful filler for the back of the hands to reduce boniness of the dorsal hand. Vein removal is a less suitable, but available, option.

Answer: Treatment for hands
In this case, I would consider using Radiesse for the backs of the hands. Radiesse is a great way to add volume between the vessels, resulting in a youthful appearance of the hands.

Answer: Sclerotherapy treatment
Sclerotherapy of hand veins can be safe and effective when the appropriate technique, sclerosing agent, and sclerosing concentration are used. Treatment is sometimes not necessary if appropriate hand volume restoration is achieved, rendering prominent hand veins imperceptible. I like to use either radiesse or autologous fat to revolumize the back of the hands when indicated.

Answer: Big veins on hands There seems to be two suggestions from the panel - sclerotherapy and some form of hyaluronic acid (HA) injections and we fall in the camp that uses HA based dermal fillers. While we will not say which method is better, we can say that our patients that have undergone hand rejuvenation with dermal fillers are very happy with the procedures. The results are dramatic and immediate and the treatment is very easy.
