Varicose veins and spider veins on the legs: remedies
Leg health: a balance between aesthetics and functionality
The issue of varicose veins and spider veins in the legs represents, especially for women, not only a pathological concern but also a deeply felt aesthetic flaw. Today, the interest of aesthetic doctors is integrated with that of vascular surgeons and phlebologists to restore harmony to the lower limbs.
Prevention and early signs
Compression stockings are one of the most effective remedies for treating venous diseases and preventing thrombosis. Whether tights or knee-highs, with or without toe coverage, graduated compression stockings are highly recommended for prevention, often combined with supplements that help venous return.
Sclerotherapy: the aesthetic solution
The demand for sclerotherapy procedures increases exponentially before summer to improve the appearance of visible spider veins (telangiectasias). Varicose veins affect over 40% of women and one in four men, worsening with high temperatures.
What does sclerotherapy consist of?
"The procedure involves microinjections that lead to the gradual reabsorption of small damaged vessels," explains Federico Villani, Plastic Surgeon. "After each session, it is essential to wear high-compression stockings and avoid the sun for a few weeks."
