Your legs keep receipts — even when you don’t. 🧾🦵
Dark patches around the ankles aren’t just a cosmetic change. ⚠️
Brown, red, or purple discoloration is one of the clearest warning signs of advanced vein disease.

This happens when blood pools in the veins 🩸, iron leaks into the skin, and inflammation causes lasting damage — a condition called stasis dermatitis.

Once skin changes reach a certain point, they may never fully reverse ⏳, even with treatment.
That’s why discoloration isn’t something to “wait and see.” It often appears before ulcers 🩹 and signals that your veins aren’t doing their job.

If your legs are showing signs like swelling, heaviness, or skin changes, it may be time to take a closer look 🔍 — before the receipt gets longer.

New year. New goals. Same legs — unless you change something. 🎉

Every January, we focus on having more energy, moving better, and feeling our best 💪 But for many people, leg heaviness, swelling, or discomfort quietly gets in the way — and it’s often brushed off as “normal.”

The truth? 👇
🚫Heavy or tired legs aren’t just a part of aging
⚠️Swelling that goes down overnight can be an early warning sign
⏳Ignoring symptoms now often leads to bigger problems later

If leg discomfort has become part of your routine, maybe this is the year to stop normalizing it — and start paying attention 👀
