Best creams to treat varicose veins, according to an expert

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern. Far more than just skin deep, they can be very painful and may require proper medical treatment. According to the NHS, varicose veins are common, impacting one in five people at some point in their lives.

But despite their regularity, there are misconceptions surrounding the vein disease. We called on the expertise of Dr Raja, a qualified Aesthetic Doctor and General Practitioner, to find out more.

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding the vein disease with causes like stress, crossing your legs or wearing high heels blamed for their appearance. This is not the case, as the doctor reveals. “Varicose veins are often due to increased pressure in the veins, which can be from standing or sitting for long periods, obesity, pregnancy and genetics”.
