Visible veins: what do they mean?

Diffuse pain, mild tension, or persistent discomfort in the hands can be a sign of a more serious venous problem. Sometimes, these symptoms are a sign of varicose veins in the hands, although this is  relatively rare .

Abnormally swollen or twisted veins?

If you notice that certain veins are becoming thicker, taking on a zigzag appearance, or seem to be protruding excessively,  it is best to consult a healthcare professional . Even if it doesn’t hurt, it is a sign that should not be ignored.

How to reduce visible veins naturally?

Good news: there are simple steps you can take to limit the appearance or progression of visible veins, especially if they are not related to a health issue.
  1. Gentle sport, your best ally

Practicing regular activity such as walking, yoga or swimming promotes good blood circulation and helps relieve venous tension.
  1. Adapt your diet

Focus on a diet rich in antioxidants ( red fruits, green vegetables, oilseeds ), drink plenty of water, and limit excess salt and sugar to avoid water retention.
  1. External care

Creams containing  horse chestnut or red vine  can help strengthen vein walls. Apply them by gently massaging from the bottom up, morning and evening.
And if it really bothers you…
There are also medical solutions such as  laser treatments or microsurgery . However, these should only be considered under medical advice and when the veins become a real source of discomfort.
