Varicose veins are one cosmetic defect that women fear as they age, and that is largely due to their increased susceptibility to getting them over men. Varicose veins are twisted or faulty veins, usually in the legs, that have broken or faulty valves that allow blood to flow backward against pressure, causing sections of veins to enlarge as blood pools within. Unlike arteries, veins rely on gravity and the muscles to pump blood back to the heart and there is very little vein pressure. A series of valves keeps blood trapped in compartments as it is pumped against gravity up to the heart, preventing a back flow. When these valves degenerate or fail, blood ceases to be trapped in these compartments and cannot flow back to the heart. The body can generate new veins where others fail, unlike arteries, and these veins usually enlarge and become painful.
There are certain beauty products that can be used. While these may not all seem to be beauty products per se, they do help reduce the size and appearance as well as the pain experienced.
There are elastic compression stockings that can be used to increase vein pressure, alleviating the amount of blood that is capable of pooling. Other methods consist of elevating the legs while asleep and also avoiding long periods of standing. Supplements to aid in collagen formation, such as vitamin C, as well as blood flow aids like grape seed extract and arginine, can aid in helping reduce the occurrence of varicose veins.
