It’s beginning to look at lot like winter. For many of us, we are ready for spring! But if unsightly varicose or spider veins bother you, now is the perfect time to get your legs spring and summer ready.
To achieve significant results, the treatment of varicose and spider veins usually requires a series of appointments over a few weeks or months. Your vein problems developed over time and it will take time to correct them. Beginning treatment now is important for better looking and healthier legs this summer. The earlier you begin treatment, the more likely you are to have great looking legs to show off in your summer clothing.
There are several advantages to winter treatment.
- There can be some bruising and discoloration during treatment, which can be hidden by your winter pants, leggings, or tights.
- The compression stockings you should wear before and after treatment will help keep your legs warm in winter and no one needs to know you are wearing them.
- The small incisions performed during some treatments heal better when they are not exposed to the sun.
- Heat can increase any post treatment swelling so cold weather is your friend.
- Winter treatment will result in less painful, less swollen legs, which will allow you to be more physically active in the summer months.
