An unsightly problem

VEIN problems can be categorised into chronic and acute disorders. Unsightly varicose veins (chronic) and bruises (acute) that cover your legs may look unattractive. These vein problems can also be difficult to conceal, leaving you self-conscious over your appearance.

Varicose veins are large dark purple or blue veins that usually bulge. They sometimes appear twisted and can look like cords underneath the surface of your skin.

The most common place to have these veins is in your legs. It appears as swollen veins that happen when your blood flow is interrupted, clogging the veins and making them swollen.

Most of the time, varicose veins are associated with age. As you age, your veins lose their elasticity much like your skin. The veins just do not do a very good job of forcing the blood back up to your heart.

The valves in your veins also lose their elasticity and no longer open and close properly, adding to the problem of bulging veins.

Not all cases of varicose veins show up due to old age.

It is also quite common for women to get swollen veins in their legs during pregnancy because of poor blood flow from the abdomen even with an increased blood volume to support the growing baby.

Besides that, those suffering from obesity or who stand for long periods or even sit with their legs crossed also have a higher risk of developing varicose veins.

This is not just a typical beauty problem that damages your self-confidence, but it can also cause much discomfort and pain if left untreated. Symptoms related to varicose veins include leg swelling, frequent heaviness and tiredness in the legs and aching in the calves.

A product containing Mucopolysaccharide polysulphate (MPS) is the answer to your vein problems, treating varicose veins and is an easy and painless solution for bruises.

MPS counteracts the inflammatory responses, which cause the pain, swelling and redness.

MPS is responsible for the moisturisation and strength of your connective tissues, and has anti-blood clot and anti-inflammation functions that also accelerate and promote the regeneration of your skin’s connective tissue.

Varicose veins happen when the valves within the vein weaken and do not ensure blood flow in one direction, causing pressure within the vein.

How MPS can help here is that it eases the valves within the veins by improving blood flow, reducing the pressure that causes swelling.

It also helps relieve the pain and tension in the affected areas, improves the blood supply to your skin, reduces the time of your body’s natural healing process and improves the appearance of your skin in no time.
