Hands with veins protruding on them cannot serve as a standard of female beauty, since the ideal has always been and remains delicate, thin hands with smooth skin without flaws.
These are the hands that poets praise and gallant gentlemen kiss with pleasure, which have not disappeared in our fast-paced time of digital technology.
But what to do if, under the influence of age-related factors, when the volume of subcutaneous fatty tissue, which plays an important role in giving the skin volume and elasticity, begins to be lost, veins still begin to protrude on the surface of the hands? Starting to think about surgery?
Of course not! There are gentle ways to replenish the lost volume of subcutaneous fat and give your arms a smooth look without veins appearing under the skin.
Filler Juvederm Volbella
An excellent product for replenishing volume is the American filler Juvederm Volbella, which contains hyaluronic acid, phosphate buffer and lidocaine.
Hyaluronic acid gives an immediate hydration result after the filler is injected into the hands. It has the ability to retain moisture in cells for a long time, due to which severe dryness and irritation of the skin disappears. In this case, the task of the phosphate buffer is to regulate the amount of intracellular fluid so that it does not accumulate too much and swelling does not occur.
The Juvederm gel itself has a very delicate texture and easily fills problem areas of the skin. Lidocaine, which is part of the filler, helps get rid of painful or unpleasant sensations during injection under the skin.
After the procedure, the skin becomes more elastic, firm, its tone noticeably increases, and volume is added. The plastic consistency allows you to obtain an even skin texture and achieve noticeable rejuvenation. Accordingly, immediately after the procedure, the veins cease to be visualized.

A pronounced rejuvenating effect, as evidenced by numerous reviews, occurs within a few hours from the moment of injection. At the same time, there is no feeling of unnaturalness; on the contrary, the gel is practically not felt under the skin. The anti-aging effect lasts for 9-18 months. After this, the gel begins to gradually dissolve and be eliminated naturally from the body.
Other ways to make veins more visible
There are several more methods on how to pump up your arms so that all the veins are visible.
- For example, you need to drink a lot of water. This will help the muscles to be in a “puffed up” state. That is, water will not be retained in the body.
- Another way would be to increase your potassium intake. It will help remove excess fluid from the body.
- It is worth paying attention to the amount of carbohydrates consumed. If you want to become the owner of toned arms with visible veins, it is best to limit the amount of carbohydrates. They make it more difficult for fluid to drain out and the veins will be less visible. Also, reducing carbohydrates will help reduce the amount of fat in the body.
Thus, to achieve textured veins, you need to combine regular exercise with a special diet.
Filler Teosyal Redensity
Another great filler for replenishing volume is the Swiss Teosyal Redensity. It appeared on the market relatively recently and managed to win the most positive reviews from both cosmetologists and patients.
The main active component of Teosyal is also hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. This preparation contains quite a lot of acid: 25 mg/g. And the acid molecules are bound together so tightly that the disintegration of their compounds occurs slowly. This explains the long-lasting effect after contouring with Teosyal. Manufacturers consider the purest hyaluronic acid to be the main advantage of the filler. The properties of the acid contained in this drug not only meet European pharmacological standards.
They exceed the required standards by several points, i.e. the acid is even purer than required by law.
Teosyal, in addition to hyaluronic acid, contains amino acids, antioxidants, vitamin B6, minerals, and lidocaine. Thanks to this cocktail, the skin regains its former radiance, elasticity, volume and wrinkles are smoothed out.
“The veins on my arms are very visible. Veins especially swell on the hands after physical activity. It doesn’t look very nice, even if you don’t take off your gloves! But I’m only 36 years old. Please give me some advice on what can be done about this?” Natalia, Vladivostok
Every woman wants to have beautiful, well-groomed hands. After all, you can easily tell by your hands (as well as by your face) how old you are. With age, many women begin to develop a pronounced venous pattern on their hands, especially on the back of the hands. This is explained by various physiological changes in the body. But why do veins sometimes appear on the arms of young women? What is this connected with? What is this - a disease or just a cosmetic defect? And what to do with such an “artistic” drawing?
Let's look at the main reasons why vein veins begin to appear on the hands of some women.
The first reason is the physiological characteristics of the body
- Hereditary features of skin structure
Thus, veins can be noticeable on the arms of thin people with thin skin. They shine through the thin top layer and become visible on the surface of the brush. This is often due to genetic features of the structure of the skin: if your mother has noticeable veins on her arms, then you will most likely have this feature.
- Natural skin aging process
As you know, with age, the skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. This is due to the fact that there are no sebaceous glands on the hands. Over the years, thinning of the subcutaneous adipose tissue is observed. That is, the fat layer in which the veins were previously hidden becomes thinner, and the veins protrude outward. If the veins do not hurt, then there is no reason to worry.
- Veins may appear on the skin in hot weather.
From the heat, blood vessels begin to dilate, blood circulates faster, and veins begin to swell.
The second reason is physical activity.
Veins on the hands can also appear from physical activity: from lifting weights, carrying heavy bags, working in the garden, cleaning the house, etc. Physical activity on the hands worsens the nutrition of the subcutaneous fat layer, because of this the veins swell and become visible on the hands.
The third reason is varicose veins or varicose veins.
As we know, venous blood circulates upward. Our hands are almost always down. If the walls of blood vessels are weak, blood circulation is disrupted, stagnation occurs, veins swell and begin to appear under the skin. As the disease progresses, swelling and pain appear along the veins. Although varicose veins on the arms are much less common than varicose veins on the legs, such cases are still known. Therefore, if the veins in your arms cause pain, you should consult a phlebologist to rule out varicose veins. As you can see, most often bulging veins on the arms of women are still a cosmetic defect, and not some kind of disease. Therefore, it is not necessary to resort to radical measures to remove veins on the arms that are very visible. But this can and must be fought!
How to remove bulging veins on the arms?
The best way is to prevent them from appearing. Therefore, starting from the age of 30, it is important not only to systematically care for your hands, not forgetting about their hydration and nutrition, but also to perform simple prevention:
- Do not wear tight, constricting clothing, so as not to impair the flow of blood through the venous vessels;
- Avoid excessive physical stress on the shoulder girdle, neither carrying nor lifting heavy objects;
- Take a contrast shower, it perfectly tones the walls of blood vessels;
- Eat more vegetables and fruits: they contain essential vitamins, and some help thin the blood.
- Perform finger exercises
These exercises can be performed anywhere - in public transport, in queues, just walking down the street, etc.
Make circular movements with your fingers, much like we do “Magpie-Crow” for little children. Spread your fingers out to the sides. Walk your fingers along the surface of the table. To improve blood circulation, perform simple hand exercises daily (read below “A set of hand exercises”). These exercises help prevent the appearance of veins or remove small veins that have already appeared on the arms. If the cause of the appearance of bulging veins is varicose veins, then phlebologists recommend wearing a compression sleeve or hand glove for therapeutic purposes. Wearing such a glove or sleeve helps stop the expansion of veins and avoid swelling. There is no need to constantly wear the product; it is advisable to use the sleeve during physical activity - during training, when working in the garden, when carrying heavy loads.
Enlarged veins spoil the appearance of your hands. Whatever this happens, love your hands, take care of them, and then no “artistic patterns” will spoil the beauty of your hands and your mood

Filler Ellanse
The world's smartest product for contouring will help give the skin of your hands a velvety feel - an innovative filler produced by the Netherlands, Ellanse.
A distinctive feature of Ellans is that it not only restores tissue volumes lost over the years, but also stimulates the formation of type 1 youth collagen at the injection site. Namely, collagen of the first type creates the effect of velvet skin and excellent lifting.
Ellanse still has many advantages. For example, the fact that it gives immediate results, and is also not visible even under the lightest and thinnest skin and cannot be felt. In other words, no one will ever guess that you visited a cosmetologist, but they will definitely notice the beauty of your hands! Ellans is a one hundred percent biodegradable drug. After the filler has fulfilled its purpose, the stage of biodegradation begins - the complete removal of the drug from the body. But unlike other biodegradable fillers, the cosmetic effect of which steadily decreases day by day, starting from the moment of their introduction, Ellans demonstrates the stability and consistency of the effect throughout the entire period of action. And this validity period can be “programmed” depending on the individual characteristics and wishes of the patient. Ellans can be valid from 1 to 4 years. A single use of the drug is enough to get all the men in your hands!
How to pump up veins in your arms: exercises
In order for a person to be able to say: “I see quick results,” he should, first of all, start building muscle mass.
That is, regular training is not suitable for this; you need to do 3-5 approaches and choose equipment with heavy weight.
Of course, you can’t start so intensely right away; it’s best to do 6 sets of 5 repetitions.
After several workouts, you need to increase the weight by 25%.
To burn fat you need to do cardio exercises. High-intensity interval training will do this especially well.
Their essence is to alternate high-intensity exercises with low-intensity exercises or complete rest.
Previously, we told you how to pump up your breasts.
We put in an IV
As you know, a dropper is one of the most effective ways to administer medicine to a patient, so the skill of correct installation will be useful to everyone.
Initial training
The preparation is simple, but this does not negate its importance:
- Prepare your stand.
- Wash your hands. This is a mandatory step, and you need to wash your hands correctly. Wash your palms first, then the backs of your hands and the areas between your fingers.
- Prepare a kit that includes a tube and a clamp. If you are giving an IV to a child, a microset is recommended; for adults, a macroset is recommended.
- Select a needle. The rule here is: the longer the needle, the thinner it is.
- Prepare your tools.
It is recommended to put the devices in one place.
Preparing the IV
Everything is simple here: you need to take the package with the medicine and find its connection point. This is where the set is inserted. Rub this area with cotton wool and alcohol.
Then you need to connect the dropper to the bag and hang it on the stand. Often non-professionals do not notice that there are bubbles in the system. To get rid of them, you need to carry the liquid to the end of the tube.
It is important that the tube does not touch the floor. This is important because the IV is sterile and free of germs. There are always bacteria on the floor, including harmful microorganisms.
