Compression Stockings: Fashion Forward Varicose Vein Prevention
In the past, compression stockings were thick, bulky and uncomfortable. However, due to advancements in technology and fabric materials, compression stockings are now thin, custom fitted, and available in a variety of contemporary styles and colours. Furthermore, silver thread is often woven into the fabric for it’s antibacterial properties. Compression stockings are incredibly comfortable to wear, and feel like thin socks or pantyhose. The use of compression stockings is an essential part of a comprehensive treatment plan for varicose, reticular, and spider veins in both men and women of any age. Comfortable compression stockings should be used after any vein treatment to improve your results and are very effective in preventing further vein disease. If prescribed by a licensed physician, extended health insurance plans often cover up to six pairs per year. At Concept Medical we exclusively use compression products, which are recognized worldwide for their quality, durability, and ease of care.
