Why there is a venous network on the legs and how to get rid of it

One of the reasons to hide your legs from an outsider's eye is a venous network on your legs. Most often, she worries women, but she is also well acquainted with men. 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 malfunction (the so-called venous insufficiency), deformities (significant increase) or strokes (when minor subcutaneous bleeding occurs). As phlebologists say, problems with veins are often hereditary. At the same time, one can not fail to notice a number of factors that provoke the appearance of such a nuisance as a venous net. They include the following:

• Long stay in an upright position;
• Injuries (including chemical and thermal);
• birth of a child;
• Excessive load on the lower limbs (with physical labor);
• Incorrect position of the foot (when wearing high heels);
• Small motor activity and, as a consequence, blood stasis;
• Hormonal imbalance in the fair sex.

The latter factor is dominant. The thing is that estrogen, which is produced by the ovaries, promotes the stretching of the collagen protein, which, in turn, participates in the formation of the walls of the veins.

Laser treatment

Before the treatment, doctors always warn their patients that a venous net on their legs after elimination from one part can manifest themselves in another. However, a modern cosmetic treatment can make a remarkable cosmetic effect - laser. Experts have already managed to assess its advantages. The venous network on the legs does not just disappear, it is cured completely safely, reliably and painlessly. The laser only affects the damaged vein, and therefore does not affect healthy tissues. After such procedures (their number depends on the state of human health, but on average they are 2-5), there are no scars or traces left on the skin. True, 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 affect it with a laser. In this case, it is better to use microsclerotherapy. This method involves the introduction of a needle using a special fluid that glues the vein. The number of injections is quite large, and the session itself can last up to an hour.

Other treatments

The best venous network on the legs is treated in cases where several methods are used at once. So, to remove the swelling, feel the coolness and improve the elasticity of the vessels will help special gels, in particular, "Lyoton", "Troxevasin", "Dolobene" and others. Get rid of pain in the legs and strengthen the walls of the veins can be due to the course of treatment with drugs such as Antistaks, Detralex, Flebodia or Vasoket. It will be appropriate to use compression knitwear (stocking, gaiters). Each such "accessory" carries out its pressure on the foot, and therefore the best option should be selected taking into account the recommendations of the doctor. Also, do not forget about training your muscles and blood vessels with simple gymnastic exercises and a contrast shower.
