Compression stockings have proven to be invaluable during varicose veins treatments and spider veins treatments.

That’s why finding the right stocking is so important.

Compression stockings, as the name says, gently compress the legs so that blood circulates upwards, and when you have a problem of venous insufficiency, this helps prevent swelling of the legs and gives the desired rest.

There are compression stockings that reach the thigh or waist. Others reach only the knee, and its goal is to restrict swelling when fluid accumulates in the legs’ lower part and improve venous circulation.

They also serve to prevent venous ulcers or the development of blood clots in the legs, especially when used after surgery or have been inactive for a while

However, choosing the right stockings for our problem requires certain specifications that must be dictated by a professional who measures and tests them.

A crucial factor is to measure the patient’s legs when they are the least swollen as possible to choose the right ones accurately.

You may find some over-the-counter stockings of light compression. However, stockings that treat slightly more severe venous insufficiency need to be prescribed by a health care provider and vein specialists.

It’s important to note that some stockings are made to wear all day until going to bed. Others are for all day and all night. Choosing compression stockings without specialist supervision may not give the desired therapeutic benefit or cause side effects.

Additionally, the following are helpful tips so that you can show off your legs anywhere you want.

  • Brushing will become your best friend

Dry brushing is one of the most effective techniques to promote circulation in the lower part of your body. Plus, it can work as an excellent exfoliator and remover of dead cells.

  • There is no such thing as enough water intake

As you well know, drinking at least 2 liters (9 oz glasses) of water daily is necessary to help our bodies perform to 100% of their capacity. This easy habit can make a significant difference in the appearance of your legs. Please don’t wait any longer to incorporate it into your daily life!

  • Goodbye chips, hello fruits

Processed foods are often high in sodium, which is bad for your circulation. Sodium promotes fluid retention, which increases volume in the blood and causes swelling in the lower part of the body, even causing edema.

  • You can win the fight against a sedentary lifestyle

Exercise plays a vital role in the proper circulation and oxygenation of your body. Stay active and try to create a routine, ranging from going out to the park at home to walking for half an hour or, better yet, enrolling in a gym where you are assigned a personalized workout to strengthen your leg muscles.
