Are you starting to see veins rise to the surface of the skin and become unsightly looking? Then quite possibly your problem is varicose veins. Varicose veins are where your veins stop functioning properly and become blocked and swollen.
This is because the valves that take the blood from around your body to your heart and lungs become damaged and stop working in the way that they should do. Varicose veins are usually found in the legs because this is where most pressure is placed upon the veins that are trying to pump blood into your heart and lungs, but they can also be found in other parts of the body.
A varicose vein happens because the valves stop the blood from flowing past them and the blood then pools and swells the vein causing it to rise to the surface of the skin, leaving an unsightly look. There is a range of treatments for varicose veins, including, sclerotherapy and laser ablation. Both are effective in terms of treating and preventing varicose veins in the future.
Sclerotherapy is where a liquid is injected into your vein which then causes the problem vein to collapse and be reabsorbed back into the body effectively. This is also what happens with laser ablation but the laser is more accurate and is usually used on smaller veins.
You could also wear what are known as compression socks, these are socks that apply gentle pressure onto your legs which help to aid the blood flow to your heart and lungs. These can be used after treatment to help continue with treatment, or they can be used before a treatment to see if they are more effective.
