Typically when we think of varicose veins and venous disease we associate it with legs, however many dermatologists are saying it's all in the hands. Our age is given away so quickly by the appearance of our hands. We use and abuse the poor things. Although for those of us dealing with hand and vein health issues, there has been much success from sclerotherapy removing spider and varicose veins from our hands.

MedIndia reported, "Sclerotherapy can help minimize prominent hand veins and significantly improve appearance of the hands," she added. Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that permanently removes unwanted veins and is considered by dermatologists to be the gold standard for the treatment of spider veins. The procedure involves injecting a special sclerosing solution with a very fine needle into the blood vessel, which irreversibly alters the vessel wall and causes it to be absorbed by the body, so that it fully disappears over time."

Regardless of the location of the venous disease it is vital to vein health that we learn about the symptoms, treatments and removal methods for varicose and spider veins.
