Thinking about getting your legs ready for a special event or holiday?

Here’s an important tip: after non-surgical vein treatment, it’s normal for veins to sometimes look more noticeable before they start to fade. This is part of the natural healing process as your body works to break down and absorb the treated veins.

For most people, improvement is gradual—veins can take a few weeks (or sometimes longer) to fade and for your legs to look their best. If you’re planning to show off your legs at a wedding, on holiday, or at a special occasion, make sure to allow plenty of time for healing after your treatment.

If you’re not sure how much time you’ll need, our team can guide you at your free assessment. Book online or call 0800 834 637 for advice and to plan ahead!

Simply put, no. Creams cannot treat varicose veins because they don’t address the faulty vein valves or the underlying pressure build-up that causes the veins to bulge.

While some patients feel relief from using creams, it’s important to know that these products can’t reverse or remove varicose veins. Only dedicated medical treatments can effectively address the issue.

Some creams may help with symptom management, particularly if you experience mild discomfort or swelling. For example:

*Cooling gels with menthol can soothe heavy legs
*Moisturising creams can help with dry, irritated skin
*Anti-inflammatory balms may reduce localised discomfort

However, it’s crucial to remember that these creams are only managing symptoms, not providing a cure. If you’re experiencing pain, heaviness, or persistent symptoms, it’s best to get an assessment.

❄️🧊The Cold Truth About Varicose Veins 🧊❄️
You may already know that varicose veins often cause bulging veins, leg pain, and swelling. But research now shows that hypersensitivity to the cold—especially persistently cold feet—can also be linked to varicose veins. When veins aren’t working properly, blood doesn’t flow as efficiently back to the heart. This can lead to pooling in the lower limbs, making your legs feel heavy and your feet unusually cold.

Why Do Varicose Veins Cause Cold Feet?
The answer for why varicose veins could be causing your feet to be cold lies in circulation. Blood carries warmth through the body. When your veins aren’t moving blood efficiently—especially to and from the feet—your feet may not get the warm, oxygen-rich blood they need to stay comfortable.

Because blood pools in the lower legs, your feet end up with reduced blood flow. This leads to a chilling sensation, even when the environment is warm.

Over time, the lack of circulation can make your feet feel not just cold, but numb, tingly, or even discolored.

This study underscores the importance of paying attention to subtle symptoms like cold feet and leg heaviness, which may be early warning signs of varicose veins. Early detection and intervention can improve outcomes and prevent complications. If you notice these symptoms, book your free assessment today to discuss your non surgical treatment options.

Will Foods, Spices & Beverages Improve Circulation in the Legs?

Eating & drinking foods that increase blood flow is a great way to support your health and prevent damage to your vascular system. These foods contribute to a diet that are beneficial for varicose veins, lowering blood pressure, and protecting your heart and blood vessels.

However, food and drinks that help with circulation can’t cure vein damage that’s already occurred. They also can’t reverse varicose veins and other vein symptoms.

If you have persistent vein symptoms, such as swelling, restless legs, aching leg pain, and varicose veins, having your veins checked can improve your overall health. Book today with our experienced phlebologist who can diagnose your symptoms and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you keep your veins healthy.

Beverages That Support Blood Flow 🫖☕🥤

Staying hydrated is an important part of boosting circulation and vein health. Drink plenty of water — six to eight glasses daily is a good goal for the average adult. But you can also add herbal teas and antioxidant-rich juices to your daily liquid intake to support your vascular system.

🟩Green tea contains antioxidants like polyphenols that reduce inflammation.
🟥Pomegranate juice is rich in vitamin C and other bioflavonoids that encourage collagen production and have anti-inflammatory properties.
🟪Beetroot juice gives you a boost of nitrates to enhance blood flow and lower blood pressure.
