Treatment for Hand Veins in Chester

It’s normal and happens to the best of us. Our bodies age whether we’re a professional athlete, supermodel or working a nine-to-five job. Our hands are among the first places to show signs of ageing, and this is more visible in women and is a cosmetic concern for many.

Enlarged hand veins can also develop via our genetics, and with general ageing, they appear due to lost skin volume on the hands

Treatment Options for Hand Veins

Vascular science has come a long way, making tremendous strides in the treatment of varicose veins, which can now be safely and painlessly removed, delivering smoother, tauter, and younger-looking hands.

1. Dermal Filler

2. Mini-Phlebectomies

3. Foam Sclerotherapy

Another innovative method targets undesirable veins through injection called foam sclerotherapy. In this method, no scan or general anaesthesia is required, and downtime is brief. The benefits result when chemicals are injected into the veins you want removed, in a foam called Fibrovein. A foam consistency delivers a greater potency than more traditional liquid sclerosant formulations. More than one treatment session is required and typically results in three sessions. Each session takes about 30 minutes.

4. Laser Treatment EVLT

EVLT stands for Endovenous Laser Therapy and is also called EVLA, Endovenous Laser Ablation. It is a modern treatment for enlarged hand veins. In simplest terms, laser energy is used to ablate or destroy the veins from the inside.

The patient is under local anaesthesia during the minimally invasive procedure, so an expensive hospital stay is unnecessary. The discomfort level is low, and the entire treatment takes about 30 minutes. You can return to your daily routine within a day. Following the treatment, a hand dressing is applied and worn for a few hours to optimise the clinical outcome.

In addition, both hands can be treated during the same visit, or you can schedule each hand for individual appointments.
