This violation is expressed in an increase in the width of the vessel and a decrease in the thickness of its walls, a loss of elasticity and, consequently, a deterioration in the flow of blood. The first symptom of the disease is a blue network of veins, close to the surface of the skin.

The most prone to varicose veins are the calf muscles and the back surface of the knees. It happens that the person who has noticed the signs of varicose veins takes this problem for a purely aesthetic and seeks to solve it with cosmetic means. This approach can lead to complication of the disease and to serious health problems.
