Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. They are most common in the legs and ankles. They usually aren't serious, but they can sometimes lead to other problems.

What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins are caused by weakened valves and veins in your legs. Normally, one-way valves in your veins keep blood flowing from your legs up toward your heart. When these valves do not work as they should, blood collects in your legs, and pressure builds up. The veins become weak, large, and twisted.

Varicose veins often run in families. Aging also increases your risk.

Being overweight or pregnant or having a job where you must stand for long periods of time increases pressure on leg veins. This can lead to varicose veins

What are the symptoms?

Varicose veins look dark blue, swollen, and twisted under the skin. Some people do not have any symptoms. Mild symptoms may include:

• Heaviness, burning, aching, tiredness, or pain in your legs. Symptoms may be worse after you stand or sit for long periods of time.
• Swelling in your feet and ankles.
• Itching over the vein.

More serious symptoms include:

• Leg swelling.
• Swelling and calf pain after you sit or stand for long periods of time.
• Skin changes, such as:
  • Color changes.
  • Dry, thinned skin.
  • Inflammation.
  • Scaling.
• Open sores, or you may bleed after a minor injury.

Eminence has created a natural formula to treat varicose, even spider veins. 

The Lychee & Chestnut Firming Leg Treatment contains LegActif, a complex of active plant ingredients (Goldenrod, Lemon and Butcher's  Broom) aimed at relieving tiredness and heaviness in the legs. Its activity results from the combined actions of its active principles: naringin, hesperidin, rutin and ruscogenin, which stimulate blood circulation and reduce edema.

In a study on the effects of this revolutionary ingredient, the qualitative evaluation showed that:

90% of the volunteers reported immediate comfort after application
80% of the volunteers reported relief of leg tiredness
70% of the volunteers reported decongestant effect
70% of the volunteers reported long term wellness

Le Reve now offers this treatment for retail in our boutique. I have even recommended this to my clients who have concerns about cellulite, as it has a tightening and lifting effect.  Feel free to come in and ask us about this new product! 

See you at the spa!
