Part of any varicose vein treatment is wearing compression stockings or support hose. With 15-20mmHg of compression, support hose can help relieve discomfort while helping to reduce their unsightly appearance.
Varicose Veins are enlarged veins that have become swollen and stretched with blood. Though varicose veins can appear in any vein, varicose veins in legs are the most common because of walking, sitting and because legs are the furthest away from the heart. Varicose vein treatment can varies from self treatment to surgical procedures; in either instance wearing compression stockings will help reduce the pain, swelling and their appearance. Wearing compression stockings can also help prevent varicose veins from forming as they improve circulation throughout the whole body.
