Rejuvenate Ageing Hands with Safe, Effective Vein Reduction
Prominent hand veins are a common concern as we age. While they are rarely harmful, they can make the hands appear older, bonier, and more sunken, particularly for women in their 40s–60s who begin noticing visible changes in volume, skin texture, and vascular definition.
At Genesis Clinic, Rodney Street, our consultant vascular specialist offers safe, minimally invasive treatments to soften the appearance of bulging hand veins and restore a smoother, more youthful look.

What Are Prominent Hand Veins?
Hand veins can become more noticeable due to:
-
Age-related loss of natural fat volume in the hands
-
Thinning of the skin
-
Sun exposure
-
Genetics
-
Low body fat
-
Hormonal changes in midlife
Although normal, many patients choose treatment for cosmetic rejuvenation.
Why Do Hand Veins Become More Visible?
Hand veins enlarge or become more visible when:
-
The skin loses elasticity and thickness
-
The soft tissue layer becomes thinner
-
Veins naturally dilate with age or heat
-
Repetitive hand use or exercise builds underlying muscle
-
Weight loss reduces hand volume
These changes often intensify in women during perimenopause and menopause.
Hand Vein Treatment Options
1. Sclerotherapy (Gold Standard for Cosmetic Hand Veins)
A small amount of sclerosing solution is injected into the targeted veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade.
​
Benefits:
-
Minimally invasive
-
Excellent cosmetic improvement
-
No surgery or downtime
-
Long-lasting results
2. Micro-Phlebectomy (for Larger Bulging Veins)
In selected cases, prominent surface veins can be removed through tiny micro-incisions.
​
Benefits:
-
Immediate cosmetic enhancement
-
Tiny incisions, no stitches
-
Fast recovery
Your consultant will assess whether sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, or a combination approach will achieve the best result.
