Perfect skin isn’t just about a glowing facial complexion. At Skin Perfect we love our clients to have complete skin body confidence.
For those of us who live with the pain of leg veins, varicose veins need no introduction. Yep, we are talking about those ugly, dark raised leg veins. You know the ones – they look about like a blue or red twisted rope just under your skin?
Those painful bulging veins are varicose veins. And they are not just an old woman problem.
And varicose veins can be body confidence destroyer.
People who put pressure on their leg veins – by standing up all day at work, dealing with weight fluctuations either from weight gain or pregnancy, or those of us who lift heavy items (whether at work or the gym) are all at risk of varicose veins.
Also common victims of varicose veins? Those of us who like to sit cross-legged, take hormones (like the pill or HRT) or stand up all day at work are also prone to these painful leg veins.
And while we are sharing knowledge, here is another less known fact: Varicose veins are not just limited to legs – oh yes.
While varicose veins are most commonly found on people’s calves, they can actually occur in any part of the body. Varicose veins also make a home on our thighs and even your feet, and pelvic area!
But for those reading this with aching legs and throbbing veins in their calves, thighs and feet, there is an answer that will led you to Skin Perfect smooth leg confidence.
The Varicose Vein Ache
Varicose veins are caused by faulty valves within our veins. Instead of flowing upward back to the heart, the blood backs up in the vein and then pools.
Because the one-way valves inside the leg veins do their job and shut when they notice blood is flowing backwards (like the handbrake in our car!), the blood that builds up these leg veins has nowhere to go. And the nasty result is that aching varicose vein you despise.
Of course varicose veins don’t just look unattractive. They can be super painful. Most sufferers complain their varicose veins create a throbbing sensation or burning pain. Plus there is the leg cramps, swollen ankles and many more uncomfortable symptoms.
