Dare To Bare

Dust off your miniskirts, bid goodbye to unsightly veins, and regain your confidence, thanks to the minimally invasive treatments at The Vascular & General Surgery Centre that reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins

Singapore is blessed with an eternal summer all-year round, and it would be a shame not to embrace shorter hemlines. With this comes the inevitable pressure to have picture-perfect legs, for baring in pretty skirts or cute shorts.

It is good to practise self-love, but the ropey-looking green- or purple-hued veins that appear behind the knees or lower legs can affect the confidence of even the most self-assured of women. Known as varicose veins, these unsightly veins are not just a cosmetic problem. Left untreated, they could potentially lead to blood clots, pigmentation and the hardening of skin, resulting in leg ulcers or wounds that take a long time to heal.
