Compression Stockings

What they are: Compression stockings are prescription garments that fit tighter around the foot and gradually loosen compression as they move up the leg. They are designed to increase your blood flow, and to help push your veins blood back upward toward your heart.

Pros: They can provide symptomatic relief of pain and swelling and can encourage healthier, more efficient blood flow. When used with other treatments they may also increase the effectiveness of those treatments, so they’re often helpful before or after sclerotherapy and EVLT treatments.

Cons: Compression stockings do not treat the underlying problem. Because vein disease is progressive, symptoms will typically worsen over time if the disease is not properly treated. Also, some people find compression stockings to be uncomfortable and hot.

Where to find them: At the Skin Scape Clinics we carry a large variety and sizes of USA made imported Compression Stockings. These need to be fitted after careful leg measurements at our clinic for best fit and comfort.
