Hand Vein Treatments to Rejuvenate Aging Hands and Minimize Bulging Veins

Hand veins become more visible over time due to aging, sun exposure, and collagen loss. While typically harmless, many patients seek cosmetic treatment to soften their appearance. At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we use a combination of Nd:YAG laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and dermal fillers (like Radiesse®) to shrink bulging veins, add volume, and rejuvenate the hands — all with minimal downtime.

What to Expect from Treatment for Hand Veins at Kovak Cosmetic Center

1–3 Days

Following treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising. This is normal as the targeted veins begin to shrink or collapse.

✓ Mild tenderness or discoloration
✓ Return to daily activities right away
✓ Early cosmetic changes begin to develop

4–10 Days

As treated veins fade and volume is restored (if fillers are used), your hands begin to look smoother, fuller, and less veiny.

✓ Visible reduction in raised or dark veins
✓ Improved skin texture and hydration
✓ Early hand rejuvenation effect

3–6 Weeks

Treated veins continue to diminish, and results from dermal fillers become fully integrated. Hands appear more youthful and balanced.

✓ Fuller, softer-looking hands
✓ Minimal to no remaining visible veins
✓ Boosted skin firmness and tone

3–6 Months+

Long-lasting results are achieved with one or a series of treatments. Sclerotherapy and laser effects can be permanent; filler results may last 12–18 months.

✓ Long-term reduction in hand vein visibility
✓ Youthful skin texture and volume
✓ Optional touch-ups available as needed
