Q. I've been told wearing support hose decreases blood circulation. Is that true?

A.  No. Support stockings do not interfere with blood circulation. To the contrary, they actually reinforce venous circulation. Only vigorous daily exercise can match its benefit to the circulation system.

Q. When should support stockings be worn?

A. Support stockings should be worn from dawn to dusk for the best results. Wearing them for a few hours is acceptable as long as you put them on in the morning when your legs are least swollen. Gravity will already be challenging your circulatory system by noon.

Q. Why do the Guylaine Lanctot Cliniques recommend the use of these support stocking instead of support hose found in department stores?

A. The primary purpose of our advanced, elastic support stockings is to reduce pressure within the superficial vein system in the legs. Our stockings exert greater pressure on the lower portion of the leg and encourage blood flow back up to the heart with reduced stress on the vein system, thus retarding varicose vein formation. Support hose found in department stores are simply not designed for this purpose and cannot offer these benefits.

Q. Will these support stockings eliminate the need for varicose vein treatment?

A. Our support stockings relieve the symptoms related to varicose veins, but cannot eliminate them. Non surgical treatments will ultimately correct your lifelong problem safely, effectively and affordably. Feel free to discuss any varicose vein treatment with one of our staff or your personal physician.

Q. Are there different degrees of support provided by the stockings?

A. Yes. Although most patients require only light support, the range of support offered can accommodate a broad variety of individual needs, tastes and routines.
