This technique is not only used in aesthetic medicine, many other medical specialties are using it with good results.

Due to stress, physical activity or emotional changes, some people often sweat too much causing them difficulties to perform their regular activities or to be in society.

Aesthetic Medicine for Dummies - Localised Fat

LOCALISED FAT

Even if we take care of our diet and exercise, there are fat accumulations that do not go away and do not allow us to achieve the image that we want.

We have to treat the cause to prevent recurrences of the spots.

How to treat circulatory problems in the legs.

Today I want to tell you about the treatments of circulatory problems in the legs.

The methods for removing varicose veins depend on its size.     If there are very large veins, there is no other remedy than surgery ...

But some medium and small veins can be removed by burning them ... but burning them without pain.

For this we can use the laser, although it is not cheap…       or we can use sclerotherapy that remains been  the medical procedure of choice.   Sclerotherapy is a technique that involves injection a substance into the vein, causing its irritation and collapse, sealing it permanently.  On the spot, like magic.

And because the veins don’t have nerves, we don’t feel what happens in them. There is no pain.

Of course, these treatments will not help much, if we don’t do something else to improve the circulation; otherwise varicose veins and symptoms will reappear.

To help our circulation there are medications that help in nutrition and strength for the wall of the blood vessels.

Massages for venous and lymphatic drainage, help to release tension of these vessels and should be performed regularly,  additionally  some ambulatory recommendations could help to keep our legs in a good shape.

In AB Esthetic we can help you with this.
