Thuasne's venoflex stockings are designed to provide light compression to the legs and thus reduce swelling. They are designed to exert the right amount of pressure on specific points of the legs. They are indicated for women who wish to prevent the possible appearance of varicose veins, for the treatment of small spider veins or for women who either by their work or their lifestyle are many hours on their feet or in heels. It is also recommended for use in case you have an accumulation of blood in that area and need to improve blood flow. It is true that there are stronger compression stockings, but these are used to treat more serious venous diseases, and that is why they must be prescribed by a doctor.
