Cosmetic treatment: We have used sclero therapy to inject and close down those unwanted veins on the back if hands, but they are normal veins, not varicose. So this is an elective cosmetic procedure. Look up www.Phlebology.Org and look for a doctor in your area who treats hand veins.

Eradicate hand veins: Prominent hand veins on the top of the hand are a common problem for women. I prefer sclerotherapy for the smaller veins and , if the vein is large enough to accept a laser fiber, then i perform laser ablation of the vein just as we would do for the saphenous vein in the leg. This procedure has minimum discomfort, minimum bruising, no downtime and excellent cosmetic results.
