INTHEMIRROR
Have you got reddish or blue-purplish swollen twisted veins that look like cords showing through the skin under your eyes or on your thighs, calves and ankles? Do you like the look of it? Or are you worried it could be a symptom of something bigger or a sign of early ageing?
Statistics indicate that 50% of adults have some level of venous insufficiency which results in symptoms such as tired, achy legs; and some vessel activity such as spider or reticular veins and varicose veins. In other words, one in every two of us are likely to find vascular veins on some part of our body, but the prominence level will differ. If yours is so obvious that you're concealing your under eye area, covering your lean legs with pants, or getting comments about the unsightly veins, then maybe you should do something to fix it, before it begins to limit your daily routine even more.
