Is it safe to treat bulging veins in your hands?

Question

I am a 25yr old female ,slim but not underweight .The skin on the back of my hands is thin and my veins always show blue .Over the past year I have noticed my veins bulge way more than they used to (when below my waist) and even when raised they can take a while to settle down. I do realise that it gets worse when I'm hot /exercising . I honestly haven't ever seen anyone around my age with veins that bulge to this extent . what can I do about this that is safe ?

treating hand varicose veins is as safe as treating leg veins. This can be done by more than one key hole modalities and all of which can be done under local anaesthetic as a day case

A large portion of my practice is the treatment of hand veins.  I treat them with a combination of endovenous laser for the larger veins and sclerotherapy for the smaller veins.  Ther treatment is done in the office under local anesthesia and the results are cosmetically very good.  The procedure is safe, has minimum downtime but may require more than one treatment.  See a vein specialist for an evaluation.
