Hand Veins in Olathe & Overland Park, KS


Many people focus on keeping their face looking youthful while the hands get overlooked, even though they can reveal just as much. Prominent hand veins are a normal part of aging, and they can be treated.

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.

Your evaluation


An evaluation includes a visual examination of where the prominent veins sit, a review of any history of vein problems or circulatory issues, and additional testing if it is warranted.

Both hands are typically treated in the same appointment, which helps keep the results balanced.

How many sessions to expect


Treatment usually takes at least two sessions. The number varies from person to person depending on how many veins are treated and how they respond, and Dr. Walker will discuss what to expect at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions


Are hand veins genetic?

Yes. Genetics can play a role in how prominent your hand veins appear, including vein size, skin thickness, and natural anatomy. Age, sun exposure, loss of volume beneath the skin, low body fat, and physical activity can also make hand veins more noticeable.
