Benefits of Hand Vein Removal
- Enhanced Appearance: One of the top reasons people pursue hand vein removal is to achieve a more youthful look. Reduced vein prominence can create smoother, younger-looking hands, boosting confidence.
- Minimally Invasive Options: Many hand vein removal methods are minimally invasive, meaning they involve limited recovery time and are performed as outpatient procedures. Sclerotherapy and laser treatments, for instance, generally take less than an hour, allowing for quick, convenient treatment.
- Long-Lasting Results: Hand vein removal can deliver long-lasting results depending on the method used. Sclerotherapy, for example, works by injecting a solution that collapses the vein, allowing it to be absorbed by the body over time. This means the veins usually don’t return once treated.
Hand Vein Removal Methods
- Sclerotherapy: Sclerosing solution is injected right into the vein, so it ultimately collapses and is gradually reabsorbed by the body, reducing vein visibility.
- Radiesse®: Often used as a dermal filler, Radiesse can be injected to plump the skin on the hands, creating a smoother, fuller appearance that minimizes the prominence of veins.
- Microphlebectomy: A minimally invasive surgical option in which small incisions are made to remove larger veins directly, offering immediate and lasting results.
Risks of Hand Vein Removal
As with any procedure, hand vein removal carries potential risks. These can include:
- Bruising and Swelling: It’s common to experience mild bruising or swelling following treatment, which usually subsides in a few days.
- Temporary Discomfort: Some patients report mild discomfort during and after the procedure, particularly with sclerotherapy injections.
- Skin Discoloration: In some cases, sclerotherapy may lead to temporary skin discoloration at the treatment site.
