Endovenous Laser Hand Vein Treatment

Unusually large bulging veins in the hands are very masculine and often reveal your true age.  New laser technology offers an option to turn back the hands of time and give you back those younger looking hands. 

The network of veins on the back of the hand is usually covered by a layer of fat and generally thick non-transparent skin, making these veins barely noticeable.  Due to genetic factors, loss of fat around the veins, and aging of the skin, these veins are sometimes prominent and unsightly.  While this is not a medical condition, it may be a major cosmetic issue to some.   Just like wrinkles of the face, women feel bothered by hand veins, as they tend to reveal their maturity.

Fortunately, we now offer an innovative in-office procedure to eliminate unwanted hand veins.  This procedure is done under local anesthesia with little to no downtime and produces immediate, dramatic, long-lasting results.

Don’t I Need These Veins?
The anatomy of the arm and hand is similar to that of the leg and foot.  There are many veins available to return blood to the heart.  Superficial veins (the surface veins we can see under the skin) are not essential, since there is a rich network of deep veins that is more than adequate to drain the hand.  When treating hand and arm veins, we are always careful to preserve at least one arm vein for future administration of intravenous medications.
