Show off stunning legs every summer
When you have healthy leg veins, you can wear your favorite summer clothes without thinking twice. If you want to prevent varicose veins, spider veins, and reticular veins, remember to follow these tips!
- Avoid standing or sitting for a long time
When you are sitting or standing, your blood has to work against gravity to travel up your legs. This can lead to increased pressure and blood pooling around your ankles. - Exercise regularly
Simple exercise such as walking, cycling, yoga, or swimming can keep you at a healthy weight and promote healthy veins and strong muscles to support your veins. - Eat a healthy diet
Get the right amount of fiber and potassium in your diet, and avoid food with a lot of salt. Stay hydrated to promote good circulation too! - Sleep on your left side during pregnancy
Sleeping on your left side can prevent pressure on the main vein in the pelvic area to reduce vein problems during pregnancy.
If you already have visible veins on your legs, we offer many effective treatments including sclerotherapy, laser therapy and endovenous chemical or laser ablation. Call Skin & Vein Institute at (760) 452-2080 or email [email protected] to show off flawless legs again!
