Veins in the hands tend to develop as a person ages. Although some are born with noticeable veins on their hands, the majority of the population develops these veins as the elasticity in their skin decreases with age. These veins are typically not varicose veins and can be treated as a cosmetic issue.
Removing these veins will not affect the body’s ability to pump blood to the hands. These veins are superficial and can be treated. In a sclerotherapy procedure, an injection is used into the veins. The injection solution is said to have a higher concentration than the injection used in leg veins. Recovery is very quick and there is little bruising after the procedure.
