One of the reasons to hide your legs from prying eyes is the venous mesh on your legs. Most often, she worries women, but men are well acquainted. Unfortunately, the venous network on the legs is not only a cosmetic but also a medical problem. The appearance of "swollen" veins may indicate their improper functioning (the so-called venous insufficiency), deformation (significant increase) or shock (when minor subcutaneous bleeding occurs). According to phlebologists, problems with veins are often hereditary. At the same time, it is impossible not to notice a number of factors that provoke the appearance of such a nuisance as a venous network. These include the following:
- Staying upright for a long time;
- injuries (including chemical and thermal);
- childbirth;
- excessive load on the lower limbs (during physical labor);
- wrong foot position (when wearing high heels);
- smallphysical activity and, as a result, blood stasis;
- hormonal imbalance in the fair sex.
The last factor is dominant. The thing is that estrogen, which is produced by the ovaries, contributes to the stretching of the collagen protein, which, in turn, is involved in the formation of the walls of the veins.
Laser treatment
Before treatment, doctors always warn their patients that the venous network on the legs, after being removed from one part, may appear in another. However, a modern method of treatment - laser - can achieve a remarkable cosmetic effect. Experts have already managed to evaluate its advantages. The vein network on the legs does not just disappear, it is cured completely safely, reliably and painlessly. The laser affects only the damaged vein, and therefore does not affect he althy tissues. After such procedures (their number depends on the state of human he alth, but on average there are 2-5 of them), no scars or marks remain on the skin. True, the sessions are not held daily, but at intervals of 1-2 weeks.
Microsclerotherapy
If the vein has a diameter greater than 0.5 mm, then it will be difficult to influence it with a laser. In this case, it is better to use microsclerotherapy. This method involves the introduction of a special liquid with a needle that sticks together the vein. The number of injections is quite large, and the session itself can last up to an hour.
Other treatments
Venous mesh on the legs is best treated in cases where several methods are used at once. So, special gels, in particular, Lyoton, Troxevasin, Dolobene and others, will help relieve swelling, feel cool and improve the elasticity of blood vessels. You can get rid of pain in the legs and strengthen the walls of the veins thanks to a course of treatment with drugs such as Antistax, Detralex, Phlebodia or Vasoket. It will be appropriate to use compression knitwear (stockings, leggings). Each such "accessory" exerts its pressure on the leg, and therefore the best option should be chosen taking into account the doctor's recommendations. Also, do not forget about training muscles and blood vessels with the help of simple gymnastic exercises and a contrast shower.
