Winter, the best time for varicose vein treatment

If you have varicose veins, summer, the season for short clothes and bare legs, may not be your favorite. The thought of exposing your legs with their network of visible veins may be too daunting, making you welcome the winter season when you can hide your legs under layers of clothing.

However, if you have varicose veins that need treatment, winter may be the best time to start. Firstly, compression stockings, which play an important role in vein treatment, are difficult to wear in the warmer months. Many people prefer not to wear them in the summer as they can get very hot. But during the winter, they can give warmth and comfort, making them much more bearable, in turn promoting better healing of varicose veins.

Secondly, varicose vein treatment in winter would prompt healing in time for the next summer. You would actually look forward to donning all those short summery dresses and beachwear.
