I’m a dermatologist – the cheap, effective hack for preventing varicose veins, my patients regret not starting sooner
A DERMATOLOGIST has revealed his tip for keeping varicose veins away, which won’t break the bank.
The skincare pro said his advice is so practical and effective, people often wish they started it sooner.
Dr. Charles (@drcharlesmd1) filmed himself at the pharmacy to pick up his Holy Grail product in a video on TikTok.
First, several photos of unsightly varicose veins popped up on the screen.
“Don’t let this happen to you,” he said.
The doctor shared that his anti-aging tip doesn’t lead to purchasing potentially pricy skincare.
“I’m going to show you the cheap, effective hack for preventing varicose veins, and you’re not gonna find it in the skincare aisle.
“If you’re on your feet for long periods of time, at the desk or flying or just standing, you need to be using compression socks as early as your 20s,” he said.
Compression socks are garments that can manage healthy blood flow and prevent swelling.
Dr. Charles held up a pair of compression socks by Copper Fit, available at Target for $12.99 per pair.
He revealed that his patients not only appreciate the product, they wish they got them earlier.
“My patients regret not starting these sooner,” he said.
The video drew in many viewers who were curious to improve their skin and shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“I wish I have known earlier,” one wrote. “Thanks for the tip.”
“Critical tip: ensure gradual decompression upwards and no tension at the knee. Otherwise counterproductive,” another added.
“My momma has some of these so I actually started wearing these working at the restaurant,” a third commented. “Now I’ll wear them on long flights.”
“Just bought mine today,” yet another added. “Been getting spider veins and I’m worried about varicose veins.”
“I’m 23 and a nurse so I’ve started to prevent them,” one more chimed in.
