What promotes varicose veins?
Varicose veins are veins under the skin of the legs, which have become dilated and tortuous. They are very common.Blood flows down the legs through the arteries, and back up the legs through the veins. There are two main systems of veins in the legs - the deep veins which carry most of the blood back up the legs to the heart, and the superficial veins under the skin, which can form varicose veins. All these veins contain valves which should only allow the blood to flow towards the heart. Failure of these valves allows blood to flow backwards down the veins and increase pressure when standing. This excess pressure leads to dilation of the veins and the appearance of varicose veins.What causes varicose veins?Varicose veins and spider veins often run in families. Hormonal factors including pregnancy, menopause, the use of birth control pills and HRT also affect the condition.

How do you treat varicose?
There are a variety of ways varicose veins can be treated depending on the severity. If varicose veins are not causing serious problems, such as pain, blood clots, or skin disorders, then your doctor will tell you to make some lifestyle changes. Some of the changes that can help varicose veins are to avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, do not cross your legs at the knee, try to keep legs elevated when sitting or sleeping, exercise to keep the blood moving, and avoid tight clothing and high heels. You can also try compression stockings. Compression stockings help keep the blood from pooling in the legs and also decreases swelling in the legs. There are a few medical procedures that are done to remove or close varicose veins. One procedure is Sclerotherapy. It uses a liquid chemical to close off the vein, and needs to be done every 4-6 weeks for several treatments. Laser Surgery can be used to treat smaller varicose veins, making the vein fade away. Endoscopic Vein Surgery is usually used in very severe cases, and is done by making a small cut in the skin near the varicose vein. A surgical device at the end of a camera is inserted then used to close off the vein.

It hurts a little bit but it doesn't last long, I think it is worth the pain!

I found IPL is as effective as lasers in permanent hair removal but more safe than Lasers. You can get more info from this site www.qesthetics.com
