Varicose veins are a common disease that causes discomfort and adversely affects the patient's appearance. Unfortunately, many of us do not attach due importance to this pathology, forgetting that it can lead to serious complications and adversely affect the overall health. Choosing a suitable cream for varicose veins on the legs, you can ease the course of the disease and prevent possible troubles that can affect the quality of later life.
General information about the disease and its treatment principles
Before dealing with the selection of drugs, let's talk a bit about what a similar pathology is. Doctors define the disease as damage to the superficial and deep veins located in the lower limbs of a person. Distinctive features of this condition are impaired blood flow and blood stasis. Most often, the lesions cover the lower legs.
The prescribed treatment implies an integrated approach. For the fight, tablets, compression stockings, gels, as well as a special cream for varicose veins on the legs are used. The last of these products has the ability to eliminate unpleasant symptoms, reduces severity, swelling and discomfort.
Natural preparation "Varikobuster" and its properties
Of course, today in the pharmacy you can buy many products of this kind, but without the minimum information about them it is very difficult to make the right choice. Let's talk in more detail about the most popular drugs in this category. So, many women recommend to their friends "Varikobuster" - a cream for varicose veins. The price of the tool is about 1500 rubles. This medication is considered to be expensive, but very effective, because it is created on the basis of natural components that provide a delicate, but pronounced effect:
- chamomile and nettle reduce pain;
- menthol cools, improves the general condition;
- honey, caffeine and plant extract of ginkgo biloba maintain skin elasticity, muscle tone, and stimulate local blood circulation;
- troxerutin reduces edema, minimizes inflammation.
To achieve positive changes, the cream is recommended to be used on a regular basis. The minimum course of treatment is 2 weeks, during which the product is applied to problem areas about 2-3 times a day.
The popular drug "Lyoton"
The title "The best cream for varicose veins" is often awarded to a product called Lyoton. However, this is not entirely true, since, in essence, it is a combination of cream and gel. The original texture is not the only merit of the Lyoton preparation, which is highly effective. Its use is justified if necessary, quick results during the peak of the disease, as well as to eliminate the already manifested complications.
The drug has the following features:
- the main component is sodium heparin;
- can be used several times in one day;
- when applied should be combined with a light massage, which enhances the positive changes.
Domestic natural products
Among the wide variety of products, the preparation Tsarskaya Tread has proved to be quite good. Cream for varicose veins of this type helps to eliminate severe pain and swelling. It is indispensable for itching and other types of discomfort. Among other things, the drug provides additional nutrition and skin saturation due to the presence of plant elements in it. The elimination of spider veins and other aesthetic manifestations of the disease is the main objective of the Tsar's Tread product.
Cream for varicose veins can also be used for prevention. In this case, it also provides very good results.
The drug "Wedge Legs" - the perfect combination of three components
Significantly popular recently and varicose cream Clean Legs. It contains the following beneficial ingredients:
- horse chestnut - increases the elasticity of blood vessels and protects them from deformation, prevents the appearance of blood clots, relieves swelling and swelling;
- Dead Sea salt - promotes active skin nutrition and its strengthening, in a short time reduces swelling, minimizes the feeling of discomfort and heaviness in the legs ;
- anticoagulants - are responsible for blood thinning, prevent the appearance of clots and the formation of blood clots.
Cream from varicose veins Clean Legs is applied externally. The composition is used twice, mainly in the morning and before bedtime, manipulations are repeated for one month. Doctors recommend using it at the initial stage of the disease. This drug is contraindicated in case of allergy to the ingredients included in its composition, as well as in the presence of skin pathologies in the acute stage. The price of the drug ranges from 1500 to 3000.
About creams and gels
Quite often, the cream for varicose veins on the legs is confused with another form of medication, namely a gel. The latter is also quite effective in complex treatment, but differs in a less saturated, light texture. Often the gel is used as a prophylactic with an existing predisposition to the disease or its mild forms. The most popular such drug recently is Venitan Forte, as well as a product called Venoruton.
Disease Prevention
As mentioned above, the cream for varicose veins on the legs can be not only therapeutic, but also preventive. Most often, homeopathic medicines are used for these purposes, for example, “Life Ointment for Veins”. The composition of this product contains a number of plant extracts, essential oils, as well as extracts from medical leeches, the presence of which has a positive effect on reducing the level of blood coagulation.
Contraindications to the use of external agents
In conclusion, I would like to recall that the main medicine for this disease is still special pills, and not a cream for varicose veins. Reviews of miraculous healing when using only superficial products are largely exaggerated and composed mostly for advertising purposes.
It should also be remembered that any external agent cannot be used for:
- open trophic ulcers in problem areas;
- the presence of open wounds and other mechanical damage;
- lactation and during pregnancy;
- allergies to any of the components of the cream.
Healing pillow - an alternative to cream
If you use a cream to treat a disease, do not forget about other useful products. For example, good results can be achieved using the Varifort pillow. The price of this product is quite high, but the product is used on an ongoing basis. In appearance, it resembles a classic small pillow equipped with Velcro.
With their help, the device is fixed on the leg in the form of a corset. The principle of its action is the effect of silicon particles on positively charged cells with pathology. The pillow eliminates blood stasis and helps minimize the negative manifestations of the disease. According to the developers, it leads to the following positive changes:
- normalizes the condition of venous valves;
- reduces the feeling of heaviness in the legs;
- stimulates the resorption of small blood clots;
- removes accumulated toxins.
How much does a Varifort pillow cost? The average price of a product is about 11,000 thousand rubles. As mentioned above, the product can be used not once, but repeatedly. It should be noted that it is recommended to purchase a pillow only in official stores. Trying to save and buy counterfeit often leads to the acquisition of a fake that does not provide the desired quality.
