For individuals who are experiencing symptoms of venous deficiency such as tired and aching legs or who have had a vein removal procedure done, Fox Vein & Laser Experts Miami vein doctor often suggests wearing compression hose to help maintain proper blood flow and either prevent or slow the onset of further venous deficiencies.
What are
Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings are elastic garments worn on the legs that are designed to prevent the progression or onset of venous diseases such as:
- Edema
- Thrombosis
- Varicose veins
- Spider veins
- Phlebitis
- Other vascular conditions
While vein removal procedures are typically the optimal course of treatment for treating dysfunctional veins, Miami Fox Vein & Laser Experts suggest wearing compression hose after all vein treatments in order to help maintain and add longevity to your results.

How Do Compression Hose
Work?
Although compression stocking can come in different styles, colors, and varieties of material, most types go over the feet and extend up to or just below the knee. These compression stockings place graduated pressure on the lower extremities, improving blood flow against gravity from the feet and legs back up to the heart.
Benefits of Wearing
Compression Stockings
Varicose and spider veins can develop as a result of insufficient blood flow and subsequent pooling of the blood in the veins. Compression hose help improve the function of valves within the veins, reduce the diameter of distended veins, and increase blood flow velocity without hindering your movement or decreasing your comfort. Most styles and materials of compression hose can be easily worn underneath regular clothing and are easy to take on and off.

Which Size to Get?
When it comes to choosing compression hose, it is essential to choose the right size for maximum benefit. Compression Hose that are too tight can hinder circulation and become uncomfortable to wear, whereas garments that are too loose provide little compression to the legs, making them ineffective.
During your consultation at Fox Vein & Laser Experts Miami, our medical team will use your unique condition and measurements to help ensure that you choose the right size. There are various types of compression stocking depending on your venous condition, and our medical team can answer your questions and make suggestions for which variety of compression hose you should be wearing.
