2. Laser Therapy (Endovenous Laser Treatment or EVLT)
This procedure uses focused laser energy to close off problematic veins. It’s typically quick, relatively painless, and offers minimal recovery time.
3. Radiofrequency Ablation
Similar to laser treatment, this technique uses radio wave energy to seal off the vein. It’s often used for larger or more stubborn veins.
4. Muller or Stripping Surgery
In more severe cases, doctors may recommend surgical removal of varicose veins. These methods are considered when other treatments have failed or when complications arise.
Can the Condition Recur After Treatment?
Yes. Unfortunately, many treatments focus on eliminating current symptoms, but if the underlying circulatory issues are not addressed, new veins may become varicose over time.
That’s why it’s important to:
- Maintain healthy weight
- Avoid prolonged sitting or standing
- Stay active
- Follow up with your doctor regularly
When to Take Action
Blue veins on your hands might be a harmless feature of your body—or they might be an early warning sign of vascular disease.
Here’s when you should take action:
- If your veins are growing in size or number
- If they become twisted, bulging, or painful
- If you have a family history of vein issues
- If you experience numbness, swelling, or skin changes
Don’t wait for complications. Getting checked early could prevent serious problems later.
In the meantime, take care of your hands the same way you’d take care of your heart—they’re connected more than you think.
