Looking for a vein doctor in the greater San Francisco and Bay Area? “Dr. Vein Eraser” is now accepting new patients. Dr. Malvehy specializes in removing visible veins on hands and hand feminazation surgery. In fact he trademarked the popular Handscaping treatment.
The hands are one of the most visible, prominent, representative parts of our body. While cosmetic and surgical treatments to feminize the face and body are well described, feminization of the hands has been an overlooked part of MTF transition for the transwoman. Large, bulging, or otherwise masculine hand veins are a potential source of body dysmorphia.
While some physicians may try to reduce the appearance of prominent hand veins through the use of fats or fillers typically approved for hand rejuvenation, these can result in the hand having a puffy unnatural experience and require multiple, ongoing maintenance treatments as they only last six to twelve months.
Handscaping™ : Hand Vein Treatment
Dr. Malvehy, the top-rated vein specialist in California, has developed Handscaping™, an in-office procedure to treat bulging hand veins.
Handscaping is performed in the office, has no downtime, and offers a permanent solution for masculine looking veins on the back of the hands.
How to remove visible veins on hands
Treatment consists of a specialized FDA-approved medication (Asclera) delivered as foam using a proprietary protocol created specifically for the treatment for hand veins. Dr. Malvehy’s Handscaping treatment has evolved over the years to culminate in a procedure which can be performed during the initial consultation. The procedure is safe, takes less than 10 minutes per hand, and is pretty much painless.
You do not need someone to accompany you to the appointment and can resume normal activity immediately. After a treatment, a wrap is placed on the hands and remains in place overnight.
How to get rid of bulging veins on hands
The wrap leaves the fingers free to type, text, and function as usual. Patients can drive, type, bathe, and exercise right away. Results are permanent because these veins – unlike abnormal spider veins of the legs – do not regrow. Multiple collateral, redundant veins under the palm of the hand are more than adequate to compensate for the veins on the back of the hand. Handscaping™ hand vein removal leaves hands looking:
- Natural
- Feminine
- Youthful
