🧦 Compression stockings: which level is right for you?
Not all compression is the same — and choosing the right level matters for comfort and results 🦵💙
Compression stockings work by applying graduated pressure (strongest at the ankle, lighter as it moves up the leg) to support healthy circulation.
✨ Here’s a quick breakdown:
• Mild (8–15 mmHg): Everyday leg fatigue, long sitting or standing
• Medium (15–20 mmHg): Minor to moderate varicose veins, pregnancy support, travel
• Firm (20–30 mmHg): Moderate varicose veins, post-procedure support
• Extra Firm (30–40 mmHg): Severe vein disease, swelling, or lymphedema (medical guidance recommended)
The right compression can reduce pain, swelling, and heaviness — but it’s important to use the level that fits your needs.
