Hand Veins

As you age, you will likely see the veins in your hands becoming more noticeable. This is a normal part of the aging process. However, many people don't like the look of them and want them gone. You use your hands everyday. - so why not have them looking great.

What Causes Prominence of Hand Veins?

As you age, your skin relaxes and thins, which causes your veins to come to the surface and look like they're enlarged. The loss of fat and muscle also makes veins and tendons more prominent.

Some people just have prominent veins, and always have.

Treatments for Hand Veins*

Sclerotherapy

This tried and tested procedure has been popular since the 1940s. It involves the injection of various fluids directly into problem veins. This produces injury to the vein with resultant closure and scarring.* It is most commonly used on veins in the legs.

Most people can have their hand veins treated relatively quickly. They can require anywhere from 2 to 4  weekly treatments.*

Our sister company, York Vein Clinic offers hand vein injections (sclerotherapy). They can be reached at (905) 841-2122. This is a very safe procedure with a very low rate of complications. Keep in mind that these veins are healthy and useful. The lab, the emergency room, and the operating room all use these veins for drawing blood and administering fluids and medications.

Dermal fillers are injected between the tendons to fill the hollows, improving that thin emaciated look and disguising the veins.*
