While there is no perfect time to treat your leg veins, it’s been said by many a vein specialist that if you’re going to have treatment, it’s best to treat varicose veins in the fall.
That is great news for the approximately one in five adults who will develop varicose veins during their lifetime.
As we ease into October, this may be the best time to finally address your varicose veins, we explore why below.
One of the best ways to treat varicose veins is through the addition of compression stockings to your wardrobe.
The cooler fall weather makes an ideal time to add this piece of clothing to your fall fashion.
The warmer weather can be detrimental to aiding in the heading of your varicose veins.
That makes the fall a great time to avoid heat and damaging UV radiation.
Most insurance plans begin again in January which makes the fall a great time to pay less out of pocket depending on your individual plan.
Most patients require many months to finally experience their desired treatment results.
When you are treated in the fall you are giving your veins many months to fully heal just in time to rock your favorite shorts and bathing suits next summer!
If untreated, your varicose veins can lead to more serious vein concerns such as deep vein thrombosis or even peripheral artery disease.
There are certain lifestyle choices you can make if you are prone to developing varicose veins.
