As shown by numerous studies, problems associated with the disease of the vessels of the legs can be prevented if timely care for them begins. Many women intensively monitor the condition of the skin of the face, nails and hair and forget about the beauty and health of the legs. The presence of dilated and swollen veins disfigure a woman, and to prevent the development of varicose veins, it is recommended to use a compression stocking.
Using the mentioned item of clothing, you can reduce puffiness, prevent the expansion of blood vessels and relieve foot fatigue. Stockings come in different lengths - to the hips and knees (as you like). The products mentioned are made of elastic and very durable material. Such tissue tightly fits the legs, due to which pressure is created on problem areas of the body and blood circulation is normalized. After all, as you know, it is blood stasis that adversely affects the walls of blood vessels.
When properly worn, a decrease in the development of thrombosis is noted. In addition, the compression stocking prevents the deformation of the walls of the capillaries and the formation of varicose veins. Your legs will become more attractive and fit. Lingerie can be used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Regular wearing of clothes will allow you to get rid of venous insufficiency, lymphedema, varicose veins and post-thrombophlebitis syndrome.
If you suffer from a feeling of heaviness and pain in your legs, the same compression stockings will come to your aid . Dimensions are easy to find by measuring the hips and legs. It is better to do this in the morning in the supine position, when the legs are rested and not swollen. Also, the consultant in the salon where you purchase the product will help determine the size.
How much to wear compression stockings?
When thrombophlebitis appears, experts recommend wearing clothes daily and do not take off during the day. Wear until the signs of the disease disappear and improvement occurs. For people with lymphedema, ulcers and varicose veins, the compression stocking can be worn for a long time (all life).
