Physical examination
Ultrasound imaging
Venous function testing
These evaluations help determine whether the veins are simply surface-level or part of a larger circulatory issue.
How to Treat or Improve Blue Veins on the Hands
The good news? If you do have hand varicose veins—or if you simply want to reduce their appearance—there are effective treatment options available.
Mild Cases and Early Intervention:
If the condition is mild, doctors may recommend:
Compression therapy: Special medical gloves or sleeves that improve circulation
Lifestyle changes: Regular low-impact exercise (like walking or swimming)
Diet: A nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet to support vein health
Hydration: Drinking enough water helps maintain skin elasticity and circulation
These habits can help prevent progression and support overall vein function.
Advanced Medical Treatments for Varicose Veins in the Hands
If you’re dealing with a long-term or severe case, doctors may suggest the following medical treatments:
1. Sclerotherapy
A minimally invasive procedure where a chemical solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade. This is effective but may require multiple sessions.
