Although there are some serious medical concerns associated with having varicose veins, the main reason that people want to get treatment for their varicose veins is because they feel like the veins are ugly. What do you do if you can't get to the vein treatment doctor right away and you really want to show off your legs while the summer weather still permits it?
Body make-up could be the answer. An article recently discussed the treatment of spider veins, a problem that is similar to but less obvious than varicose veins. It mentioned that a quick fix to this problem is to get good body makeup to cover up the spider veins on the legs and to set the make-up with a powder so that it won't rub off. It is possible that this same quick fix could work on varicose veins provided that they aren't too dark or enlarged for cover up.
Of course, this cover up isn't going to work if you're planning on getting in a pool! Ultimately it's better to get the veins removed once and for all by a cosmetic doctor specializing in the treatment of spider veins and / or varicose veins.
Question of the Day: What other methods are there of covering up unsightly varicose veins?
