Are Veins On Hands Abnormal

No these veins are part of the normal body circulation. The veins on hands become more prominent as we age because of loss of volume in the back of the hands.

Naturally there is a layer of fat under all skin and as we age this lessens. The back of the hands loose fat faster than most parts of the body and the hand veins become more prominent because they are no longer covered with an adequate layer of fat.

Can They Be Treated?

The cosmetic treatment of hand veins is to restore volume to the back of the hand.

There are dermal fillers which are suitable to return a plumper look to the back of the hands and disguise the veins.

    Treatment Of Excessive Underarm Sweating

    By SkinRevision | Published: October 5, 2010

    Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive underarm sweating.

    What are the signs and symptoms of this condition?

  • It doesn’t take intense physical activity/ hot weather for your underarms to sweat.
  • You sweat excessively when you become anxious or experience tension.
  • The condition usually started in childhood, teenage years or early adulthood

    • There are two types of hyperhidrosis affecting the underarm.

    Primary Hyperhidrosis: This condition affects about 2% of the population and can affect the face, hands, soles of the feet and other areas of the body.

    Secondary Hyperhidrosis: There is an underlying medical condition that must be diagnosed and treated appropriately.

    Treatment Options For Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis.


    1. First line of treatment is antiperspirants that contain Aluminium Chloride.

  • Long acting anti-perspirants such as Dri-Chlor can be effective.
  • A percentage of people do not respond or develop reactions or rashes and cannot tolerate using them.
  • If they work they are a cost effective way to address the excessive sweating.


    • 2. Second line of treatment if anti-perspirants fail is injections into the armpit.

  • A purified protein that is more commonly used in cosmetic treatments can provide effective control of sweating
  • It is injected into the skin of the armpit
  • Control of sweating lasts on average between 6 and 12 months.

    • TGA regulations in Australia restrict naming of these injections as they are class S4 medication to be administered by a Doctor with training.

    3. The third line of treatment is liposuction of the armpit.
    This is less reliable than injections, but it can provide a solution. Excision of axillary sweat glands or more aggressive surgical treatments are not indicated for treatment of underarm sweating.

    Treatment Of Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

    If you suffer excessive sweating of the underarm, the first step is correct diagnosis to exclude an underlying medical cause. You will need to book a medical consultation with one of our Doctors who have experience in treatment of underarm sweating.

  • During this assessment they will discuss treatment options including realistic expectations of the outcome and possible side effects of treatment.

    • Call (07) 33505447 to book a consultation.
    Or email to ask us any questions.

    TCA Peel

    By SkinRevision | Published: September 10, 2010

    A TCA peel is a medium level peel that is especially beneficial for people with significant sun damage.

    Sun damage causes skin wrinkling, coarse skin texture, blotchy pigmentation and other skin colour and texture changes.

    What Can Be Achieved With A TCA Peel?

    ATCA peel will give a fresh new layer to your skin: evening out texture and colour with a controlled peeling. You would expect significant improvement in the appearance of sun damage pigmentation and wrinkling.

    It provides an alternative to people with significant sun damage problems who may not respond to more superficial peels but are not be ready for laser resurfacing.

    What Is Involved In A TCA Peel?

    Dr Jane Propsting is our specialist in medium level peels and will need to assess your suitability.

  • A TCA (tri-chloroacetic acid solution) is applied to the skin.
  • There is noticeable stinging for a few minutes, the process taking approximately 30 minutes.
  • Redness generally lasts for a few hours after the peel.
  • Over the following 3-5 days the skin feels tight and will start to go a darker colour and feel dry.
  • After this time the skin begins to peel and you will notice the underlying skin will be smoother with less pigmentation and feel soft.
  • Peeling generally occurs for about a week, however this can be longer in some.

    • How Much Downtime Is Involved In A TCA Peel?

  • You can return to normal activity except anything that causes heavy perspiration.
  • Most people take some time off work and avoid important events in this time.
  • SUN EXSPOSURE IS PROHIBITED during and after the process.

    • How Many Peels Are Required?

    The number of TCA peels depends on the assessment of your skin. Generally one peel is all that is required, however some people do need two peels or more peels to achieve the results they require.

    Complimentary Consultation.

    Dr Jane Propsting offers free consultations to assess your suitability for a TCA peel. At this time Dr Jane will explain the process involved, risks associated with medium level peels and be able to give an accurate quote.

    Dermal Filler Treatment

    By SkinRevision | Published: July 14, 2010

    Dermal fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to treat signs of facial aging. Rhytids (wrinkles, lines) and volume loss can be treated or revolumised. The outcome of treatments depends on several factors including the initial condition of the area to be treated. It is recommended that you see our Doctors to gain a realistic idea of treatment outcomes.

    Areas That Can Be Treated With Dermal Fillers.

  • Cheeks: cheek enhancement to replace volume loss in the cheek area. As we age the cheek pads descend and the cheek area can flatten and a nasojugal groove can develope. Using dermal fillers to replace the areas of volume loss can improve cosmetic appearance.
  • Lip Wrinkles: upper lip lines can be treated with dermal filler injections. A common cause of lip wrinkles is volume loss and repeated movement over years. Using dermal fillers to replace volume can help reduce the appearance of upper lip lines.
  • Tear Troughs: young and less young people get fillers under the eye to lessen the appearance of dark circles and under eye bagginess.
  • Nose: non surgical Rhinoplasty. Used to improve the appearance of bumps, flatness of the bridge of the nose or correct asymmetry. Many nose concerns can be addressed without surgery.
  • Lips: for a subtle increase in volume to create more symmetry or to slightly plump lips that have lost volume through aging.

    • We also treat nasolabial lines, marionette lines, cheek lines and other concerns.

    What Treatment Is Appropriate For Your Concerns?

    There are many treatment options and the most appropriate depends on what is happening with your face. At SkinRevision we offer a free cosmetic consultation.

  • You will have an assessment with one of our Doctors
  • During this assessment they will discuss treatment options including realistic expectations of the outcome.

    Treating Dark Circles Under Eyes

    By SkinRevision | Published: November 9, 2009

    Dark circles under the eyes are caused from volume loss which causes a shadow effect and not from lack ‘beauty sleep’ which is the common opinion.Treatment of dark circles therefore involves replacing the volume loss with a dermal filler into the area of hollowing.

    Injecting dermal filler under the eyes decreases the shadowing in the area and in many cases improves the cosmetic appearance of puffiness or ‘under eye bags’. Our Doctor will assess your suitability for treatment and be able to provide a realistic opinion on the outcome.

    What does treatment of dark circles involve?

  • The under eye area requires superficial numbing to make it more comfortable.
  • The under eye area is very vascular so bruising often occurs (though not always). It is best to time treatment so that you do not have any important engagements for about a week after treatment.

    Acne Scar Treatment: The Use Of Skin Needling

    By SkinRevision | Published: July 12, 2009

    Skin Needling is a treatment option for depressed Acne Scars. This treatment involves use of a skin roller to create multiple punctures into the skin. This controlled injury attempts to stimulate collagen growth under the area of scarring with the aim of improving the surface appearance of the skin.

    Skin needling will not eliminate acne scars entirely but a treatment course with skin needling can improve the cosmetic appearance of the skin.

    Some Information On Skin Needling.

  • A series of treatments is required.
  • The results from the first treatment generally take 6 weeks to be seen.
  • The degree of improvement varies between individuals and there is no way of determining this prior to starting treatment.
  • There are other treatments available to treat the appearance of acne scars including traditional laser and fractional laser treatments.

    • Finding Out More On Treatment Of Acne Scarring.

    You will need to book with one of our Doctors to discuss the options for treating acne scarring. We do not provide laser treatment but can refer to suitably qualified practitioners if required. As this is a consultation for a medical skin condition there is a fee for the consultation and this is partially claimable on Medicare.
