As the weather cools down, and we’re all at home a lot more, now could be the time to take care of those varicose veins. In a normal recovery, there can be some residual swelling or discoloration in the treated area. During the winter, clothing will often hide the affected areas. In addition, some recoveries include wearing compression socks. These stockings are made of a tight, densely woven material that fits snug on the leg. Naturally, they hold in a lot of heat. These socks can be too hot in the summer, but in the winter they can keep you warm without having to crank the heater. Finally, many people have Flexible Spending Accounts with their health care coverage. Any funds that don’t roll over can be lost, so some people choose to go ahead and use it on a treatment at just the right time – winter!
