Ointments that provide treatment for varicose veins can combat the symptoms of vasodilation in the legs. They effectively restore the condition of diseased skin, remove bruises and bruises. But it should be remembered that even the most potent cream cannot replace a full-fledged comprehensive treatment. The gel must be combined with other drugs against venous expansion: for example, with capsules taken orally.
It is worth noting that anti-varicose ointments are used exclusively to restore the functions of the circulatory system in the legs. The gel cannot cure hemorrhoidal disorders. Ointments are also ineffective in the fight against varicose veins of the rectum.
Any cream acts by being absorbed through the skin of the legs into the walls of veins and blood vessels. The active components strengthen blood vessels, can thin the blood and restore the natural metabolic processes of tissues.
There are several types of ointments that provide treatment for varicose veins:
Patients in the early stages of varicose veins in the legs notice a positive effect from most popular ointments. In this case, you can look for a cream that will be as convenient to use as possible.
Pay attention to the base:
Each gel has its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing an ointment, pay attention not only to the immediate effect, but also to the cumulative effect.
Ointments that give the following results are highly valued:
The cream should not only relieve existing swelling, but also prevent the appearance of new ones. A high-quality gel acts as an active “external” assistant to the tablets, contributing to the treatment of varicose veins.
In order for an ointment to deserve the recognition of pharmacists, it must pass the test not only of clinical experiments, but also of time. Treatment of varicose veins is a long process that cannot be rushed. Many “revolutionary” drugs have been recalled due to deficiencies discovered and similar effects discovered late.
We will consider only those creams that have proven themselves to be reliable means for treating varicose veins. These are proven medicines that have gained well-deserved popularity both among doctors and among patients.
A fast-acting gel that soothes veins. Quickly eliminates swelling thanks to an active substance that acts in a similar way to rutin (vitamin P). Relieves the feeling of fatigue in the legs and protects the cell wall from further damage.
The gel heals veins in a matter of weeks. It is made from hypoallergenic components, so it can be used without preliminary tests. However, the drug is not recommended for use in the first three months of pregnancy: it is believed that the effect directly on the cellular structure of the veins may affect the early development of the fetus.
Another gel, more reminiscent in structure of a classic cream. The main active ingredient is horse chestnut. The gel successfully tones the veins, returning them to their previous activity. The drug also relieves inflammation and swelling, strengthens vascular walls and restores flexibility.
It should be remembered that the gel cannot be used to lubricate trophic ulcers. Horse chestnut extract is a very active component. If you smear it on a damaged area with open wounds, you can worsen the condition.
Any heparin-based cream is a drug that has been tested by generations of our grandparents. Heparin is one of the most effective substances that prevents the development of varicose veins. It not only relieves pain (this is more due to another component included in most heparin creams - Anestezin), but also prevents blockages, stopping the formation of blood clots.
Heparin ointment is not an ideal remedy for varicose veins. Although it perfectly fights symptoms and helps restore the health of the circulatory system, heparin ointment cannot be used to heal trophic ulcers. Like chestnut, heparin pomace is a potent component. Thoughtless use of a cream based on heparin ointment will lead to the appearance of new irritations.
Doctors are gradually starting to get used to products that list Ginkgo Biloba extract as the main active ingredient. The warming in attitude is due to the positive effect that any such cream has.
Most Ginkgo-based preparations also contain some amount of Rutin and its analogues. The therapeutic complex allows you to strengthen the vascular walls, relieve the lower extremities from chronic fatigue and permanently eliminate swelling. The most pleasant property of such creams is that they can be used in any trimester of pregnancy without any restrictions.
This cream can rightfully be called the most famous in the former CIS. And it’s not surprising: it alone helps to get rid of trophic ulcers in a matter of days. Its uniqueness is also due to the fact that many other drugs for external use are strictly prohibited for use in trophic ulcers.
Vishnevsky's medicine is recommended to be used at the end of the working day, when you are sure that you will not go anywhere else. It contains tar, so it is not suitable for contact with clothing. The drug “knits” ulcers, accelerating wound healing and preventing the development of inflammatory processes.
A balm for external use that is gradually gaining popularity. It is recommended not so much for getting rid of varicose veins as for combating its consequences. Varicobooster allows you to “refresh” the skin of your feet, moisturizes it and nourishes it with vitamins. At the same time, the walls of the capillaries become thicker, inflammatory processes decrease, and bruises disappear.
Varicobooster is perfect as an aid. Use it to restore the feeling of youth and freshness to your legs. Long-term use creates a cumulative effect: metabolic processes in cells are accelerated, and the rate of healing of broken capillaries increases.
An analogue of popular Heparin-based creams. The active agent is combined with other active ingredients: Dexpanthenol and Allantoyl. If heparin creams do not seem effective enough to you, but your doctor claims that your vascular walls need Heparin, try Hepatrombin. Additional substances ensure maximum absorption of the main component, increasing the effectiveness of the drug.
Hepatrombin is used not only as a symptomatic, but also as a prophylactic agent. If you suffer from trophic ulcers, then try switching to this medicine when you heal the next damage to the skin. There is a good chance that this unpleasant form of the disease will not bother you again.
Anti-varicose creams are made based on natural ingredients. This leads patients to the idea that they can save money by making medicinal mixtures themselves.
Before experimenting, pay attention to the following points:
Modern drugs are much more comfortable to use than those of our ancestors. If you want to try a “folk remedy,” then at least do not refuse the treatment prescribed by your doctor. This way you won't hurt yourself.
I used the Varitox complex 3 times a day. I didn’t strictly follow the instructions because I didn’t really believe in the power of the drops and often skipped taking them. I didn’t dissolve them in water, but simply counted out 10 drops per spoon and drank.
But I am ready to use the cream all the time. It relieves pain well. When applied, it warms the skin a little and tingles pleasantly.
Hot mint does not smell like similar preparations, but has a subtle herbal aroma. Very light and non-nasty.
All the spider veins did not pass through. To cure phlebitis, I had to change standing work to easier work. Plus, I additionally wore elastic bandages.

In just 10 days I smeared my legs with foam 2-3 times a day and my “knots” and “ropes” hid, the spider veins disappeared. Muscle cramps, swelling and soreness stopped. Well, in order for the legs to return completely to normal, two bottles were needed. And I bought a few more in reserve - I will use it as a preventive measure so as not to return to its original state.
I liked the Bee Saved Chestnut cream. It really helps treat varicose veins, but it needs to be used for a long time. After achieving improvements, the cream should not be abandoned. To consolidate the result, it must be periodically applied to problem areas.
Initially, I applied the cream to my calves 3 times a day. With this application, the severity of varicose veins began to disappear after a week. To achieve good results, I used the cream for 4 weeks. Then my legs acquired a normal, healthy appearance and I stopped using the cream.
After some time, I noticed the appearance of varicose veins again.
Now I apply it before bed 4-5 times a week, for prevention. Legs feel.

I couldn’t find this cream in the pharmacy, so I bought it on the Internet, on the official website. I am careful when purchasing goods online, but in the case of this cream, payment is only made after receiving the purchase. We didn’t have to wait long, only 4 days – this is a plus, but not the main one. The main advantage of the cream is its effectiveness.

I treated varicose veins with this cream. The swelling was very strong and I didn’t even count on complete relief from the problem.
I anointed my feet twice a day. The cream has a pleasant honey smell. It is absorbed well, but at the same time you have to use more cream at a time, and since the jar is small, the cream is not enough for a long time (the first jar lasted for 3 weeks, as soon as it started to run out, I ordered a second one, which extended it a little for a month).
A big plus is that the cream doesn’t cost much.

I didn’t know that heaviness in the legs and cramps are a manifestation of varicose veins. I collected a bunch of different ointments and creams. The cream "Varicozone" especially suited me. Thanks to him, I did not suffer from pain, heaviness and swelling. Even the cramps stopped if I massaged my legs thoroughly with Varicozone at night. You need to understand that massage must be done starting from the bottom - up. I didn’t massage for a long time and persistently, just light circular movements. In the end, a few movements called “bicycle” and sleep. And you know, there is a result! You just need to regularly smear and massage your legs with venotonics.
The cream is perfectly absorbed and contains natural substances that improve vascular tone: algae extract, chicory extract, red palm oil.

For now, this is where the effectiveness of the cream ends. I did not notice any resorption of spider veins or elimination of swollen veins, but the cream has one feature. which makes me very happy. Despite the fact that it is practically not greasy, it cools the skin perfectly, before going to bed it is very pleasant to apply to tired muscles and feet, if you put on warm socks and sleep in them, then the feet in the morning are not as swollen as usual.
After two pregnancies, ugly spider veins appeared on my legs and the veins became very noticeable, some began to bulge unsightly. And this is at my 27 years old. I didn’t even consider surgical methods to solve my problem, so I opted for the 100% natural Varicobooster balm.
The cost is reasonable. One tube lasted approximately a month. It took me 2 months and 2 full tubes for my legs to look normal. In addition to the obvious visual improvement, I noticed that the vessels had become stronger and seemed to have retracted; the veins were no longer visible. There is no swelling on the ankles. It's a pity that I didn't use the balm as a preventative before.

There was heaviness in the legs and night cramps. I found out that this could be the initial stage of varicose veins. I found Varius on the Internet and decided to try it. My legs are no longer heavy, I have a flying gait again. I used it a year ago, so far so good, no varicose veins or spider veins.
I apply it twice a day to problem areas on my calves and on the insides of my knees, in the morning before work and in the evening before bed.
The smell is pleasant pine, smells like a forest, when applying the cream there is no burning or warming sensation, the cream applies and is absorbed well, does not leave marks on clothes. Swelling in the morning practically no longer bothers me, the bluish “stars” have noticeably faded, and by the evening the sensations in my legs are much lighter.
The cream undoubtedly has an effect, given that I do not take other medications. The price suits me quite well.

Stoppen Varizen is a gel for external use. It was made in Germany. It comes in a regular tube; it needs to be squeezed out; unfortunately, there is no dispenser.
The drug really helps me get rid of pain and swelling in my legs at the end of the working day. I try to use it 2 times a day - morning and evening. For a more problematic situation, you can do it 3 times. It is better to apply the gel to steamed legs, but this does not always work. I always spread it carefully and gently, especially in those places where the wreaths are swollen. WITH
The product is quite concentrated, so it is used very sparingly. My little stars went away within a month. It was a mild stage of varicose veins. Like a gel.

On the official website of Varicoset they sing very sweetly about the miracle effect of the cream. Well, just once or twice and there are no varicose veins. From a medical point of view, this is impossible to achieve. Well, creams don’t know how to treat varicose veins (like pills), what can you do now! Still, I took a risk and ordered it. Just check. The cream has a fairly thick consistency. I applied it twice a day. The skin after it is pleasant, not greasy and I don’t feel any stickiness. It relieves swelling normally, even quickly.
