The basics
What causes prominent hand veins?
Hand veins become more visible as the skin thins and the layer of fat beneath it decreases with age. The veins themselves have not necessarily changed — there is simply less tissue covering them. Sun exposure, low body fat, and genetics all influence how quickly this becomes noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are hand veins genetic?
