It’s officially winter! Right now it is easier to hide unsightly veins under layers of clothes, but there are many reasons that it ‘tis the season for getting a leg up this summer with a vein treatment from Summit Skin and Vein Care.
Common Vein Conditions
Varicose veins and spider veins are among the most common vein conditions. The symptoms of these types of conditions do not come and go with the seasons, but instead, pose year-round pain and embarrassment that results in reduced self-confidence.
Varicose veins can appear as large, bulging veins under the skin’s surface, and can be linked to more concerning circulation issues. Varicose veins can be the result of dysfunctional valves that cause blood to flow backward and collect in the veins, making them enlarged.
Spider veins are very small veins that appear as a red, purple, or blue web of veins that are just below the surface of the skin, and can be a sign of underlying vein disease.
Why Should You Get Your Vein Treatment this Winter?
No matter the vein condition, colder temperatures can constrict veins and even possibly lessen swelling and pain symptoms. However, a reduction in pain is only temporary. Getting a vein treatment will have a long-lasting impact on removing discomfort permanently.
Here are four reasons why winter is the best season for vein treatment:
1. Recover “undercover” before you shed those layers in the summer
A vein procedure can involve some recovery time. In the winter you have the luxury of several months before you reveal your vein-free legs.
2. Conceal any needed wardrobe changes underneath long pants
If you have to wear compression stockings to speed up healing, no one will know! Let’s face it – not many can pull off a fashion statement like compression stockings and shorts – and if you have your treatment in the winter, you won’t have to even worry about it.
3. Hide side effects
Some treatments can produce mild bruising, redness, or swelling. In the winter you can more easily hide these side effects.
4. Allows for avoiding the sun
Vein treatment can sometimes cause temporary skin discoloration. By getting treatment in the winter, you can avoid any potential embarrassment from skin discoloration.
