Lately, it seems that everywhere you go people are extolling the idea that "fifty is the new thirty". Middle aged people today are in fact aging, significantly slower than their contemporaries of previous generations. We are enjoying a quality of life that causes us to belie our chronological age.
And while we are enjoying longer, fuller lives, there are still some areas in which aging does take its toll. Our bodies may exhibit visible signs of aging that remind us of our true age. These signs can be quite discouraging as we work hard to stay one step ahead of Father Time.
This Baby Boomer generation is the first one to be faced with this problem of, what we consider, premature aging. As a result we are driven to seek cosmetic and plastic surgery in record numbers. All in an attempt to vanquish age spots, discolorations, wrinkles and unsightly sags.
To a large extend we are successful, with plastic surgeons completely, in some cases, obliterating all visible signs of our chronological ages. But the cost of plastic and cosmetic surgery can be high. And we are not always prepared to suffer the accompanying pain that we may have to endure.
There are often less invasive alternatives to surgery which can offer comparable results at a fraction of the cost. Depending on the condition that you are trying to correct, you may find that non-surgical, cosmetic alternatives are a perfect solution for you.
One of the areas that responds quite well to non-surgical solutions is spider veins. Spider veins are similar to varicose veins in that they can affect the legs. Varicose veins are larger and may case the skin underneath them to protrude. They may be bulky with uneven, bumpy ridges which are quite visible through sheer stocking and tights.
Spider veins may cover a larger area of the skin than varicose veins, but they are not as pronounced or visible. They tend to look like spider webs and are small in diameter, and flush to the skin, unlike varicose veins which tend to be raised away from the skin.
This makes spider veins a good candidate for treatments containing Vitamin K, which we know can act as a thickening agent when applied to the skin. Vitamin K can have a dramatic effect on skin, improving its general appearance while working on the texture and appearance of thin skin through which spider veins can show.
There are many creams on the market that claim to promote healing and thickening of the skin through the use of Vitamin K, so it is important to choose carefully, as many of these preparations can be costly.
Some of the benefits that you can realistically hope to achieve with a topical Vitamin K based cream are:
The general appearance of your legs should improve with a noticeable reduction in the instance of bruises and blotchiness.
We have heard that Veinudermâ„¢ by the Bodestore, has Vitamin K as one of its active ingredients along with Horsechestnut Seed Extract. It also features other ingredients that have proven to be effective in the treatment of spider veins. It may be a topical treatment you may want to look into further. You can find out more about Veinuderm from better online stores like www.Amazon.com and the http:www.bodestore.com.
Minimize spider veins and enhance your youthful appearance. With new topical treatments available great legs don't have to be a painful experience -- even as you mature.
