Most people know that varicose vein treatment can improve uncomfortable symptoms and restore the appearance of the legs. However, there are also some surprising benefits of varicose vein treatment for sleep, energy, and mobility. Let’s get into it!
1. Good sleep
As we’re sure you know, varicose vein pain can often get in the way of a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, when we’re in bed with no distractions, there’s nothing to take our minds off the discomfort. On top of that, a long day on your feet can lead to stiff muscles and overflowing veins, which just makes the discomfort worse.
As varicose vein treatment seals the problem vein, associated issues like pain and cramping at night should no longer bother you. Just keep in mind that you may still get a bit of achiness and swelling for a couple of days post-treatment.
2. Improved energy levels
When you have varicose veins, it’s unfortunately very, very common for your legs to feel heavy at the end of the day. This is especially true when you’ve been sitting or standing for long hours.
But once you get treatment and circulation starts improving throughout the affected legs, you’ll get a noticeable improvement in muscle function as they start receiving proper oxygen and nutrients again.
3. Better mobility
It’s true that mild to moderate intensity physical activity like swimming and walking can make your veins feel better. However, intense physical exercise like weight training, track and field, or sports like tennis or football can make matters worse. That’s because, with an increased venous return demand, malfunctioning veins may struggle to keep up, potentially increasing the pressure in the vein.
But if you love hitting the gym or miss competitive sports, treatment can help you return to it!
4. Confidence!
We always say that varicose veins are a medical condition. However, that’s not to say they can’t cause aesthetic discomfort as well. Those large, bulging, twisted veins can often make you feel self-conscious and even have you covered up in the summertime.
While treated veins typically won’t completely vanish immediately after treatment, you will see a noticeable reduction. As your body keeps gradually absorbing the vein, your leg’s appearance will continue to improve. Take a look at some of our before and afters: Before and After Varicose Vein Treatment
