I feel the results are going to come out good

One of the main things that give away age is your hands, and my hands over the last few years have really bothered me to the point where I stopped wearing rings and started feeling really self conscious of my bulging veins in my hands. After religiously keeping up with Botox and fillers on my face it was a bummer to feel great and then have my hands throw everything off. I have the hands of someone 20 years older than I am. Anyways so I started googling treatments and decided to go with East Bay Vein clinic where I saw an advertising for a treatment call handscaping which is basically sclerotherapy… on your hands. Scheduling was quick and easy, deposit of 100 is required and applied to cost at time of treatment. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions and the office was clean with a chill vibe. The Dr was friendly and had a good personality, he had a humor about him that made me feel at ease, I showed him my hands and he went over the details needed and then I paid (they accept care credit!) and the procedure started. So it’s quick and pretty painless. You place you hand on top of a tiny square pillow and dr puts a tourniquet on your wrist and then You feel a tiny stick from the needle. It doesn’t hurt. He takes about 10 minutes on each hand and puts a wad of gauze over injection site and wraps your hands, not too tight just slight compression. And that was it.. took about 25 minutes total. You have to leave the wraps on all night… after the procedure my hands did feel a bit sensitive and sore but it was mild. You cannot lift anything heavy for 24hrs. The following day at the 24 hour mark I took of my bandages and my hands are swollen and they look pretty good considering full results take a couple months.. so the swelling seems to be hiding my veins now but I know as swelling goes down the veins are supposed to disappear and dissolve over the next few weeks. So far I’m happy with this decision, and I feel the results are going to come out good. I go back to the dr in a month to check the progress.. I’ll be sure to check back in to let you all know if I still think it was worth it!

My hands look not too good right now, but it part of the healing process… results are not instant..they look worse before they look better. So I went through swelling that made my hands look good for a few days but after it subsided all of my veins and maybe even a few that I hadn’t noticed before popped up and look lumpy and hard, the veins are blue and more obvious than ever.. the tops of my hands are sensitive. I opted for using compression gloves because it feel better. Especially while trying to handle my daily task. I’m also kinda embarrassed by how they look at the moment so I’m hiding them until they look good! I have a dr appointment at the end of the month so ill keep you posted~

Hands are still lumpy with unsightly dying veins that need to dissolve. They are painless now just feel hard and the move around under the skin… but They are making improvement though.. I got this done at the end of October and it is now January so its taking a while for my final results..
