How to care for skin with varicose veins?
The best results are usually achieved with comprehensive long-term care. The aim is to promote comfort for tired legs, a feeling of freshness and regular skin care (especially if it is stressed, dry or burdened by compression).
1) Internal care (supplement to the regimen)– includes dietary supplements focused on plant extracts and flavonoids:
- FLAVO-LYMPH– herbal tincture with extracts from 14 plants rich in flavonoids.
- NOVARIX– capsules based on plant extracts, bioflavonoids and vitamins.
2) External care- regular massage and layering of products as needed throughout the day.
- CBD ANTI-VARIX LEG GEL -A refreshing gel-cream specially designed for massaging heavy and tired legs. Use it ideally in the morning, or both morning and evening for a more intensive routine. Apply an appropriate amount and massage gently (without aggressive pressure), when wearing compression, apply so that the gel is fully absorbed before putting on stockings.
- CBD ANTI-EDEMA SERUM – ROLL ON -local care in roll-on form for contact-free application at any time of the day, suitable for travel or work. The product is designed to provide a cooling, refreshing and soothing sensation to the skin, and is also suitable for the care of skin with small varicose veins. Practical tips: we recommend having it on hand in your handbag, car or at work, if you keep it in the refrigerator, the cold can subjectively intensify the feeling of freshness (especially pleasant in the heat).
- FLAVODERM CREAM -regenerating cream with bioactive (liposomal) flavonoids and CBD, especially suitable for dry, flaky and itchy skin, often mentioned as irritated by compression stockings or bandages. When and how to use:
- ideally after removing compression stockings, when the skin is often most stressed,
- If you are using other gels in the morning and evening, we recommend the following order: gel first → Flavoderm cream after absorption.
- We recommend using gels/roll-ons best in the morning, or both morning and evening.
It is possible to combine the two products: a common and practical option is ANTI-VARIX LEG GEL in the morning (comfort during the day) and ROLL-ON whenever needed; in the evening, add Flavoderm skin care cream (especially during compression).
How to care for skin with EDEMA?
Comprehensive, long-term care usually yields the best results.
1) INTERNAL CARE – based on dietary supplements rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, as well as collagen peptides.
- Flavo-Lymf (dietary supplement), an ethanol-free herbal tincture (glycerite) containing extracts from 14 traditional Czech herbs rich in flavonoids. The product is based on botanical ingredients traditionally associated with “lymphatic” function and elimination (e.g., plantain – normal lymphatic system function; nettle/thistle/meadowsweet/yarrow/burdock – elimination; dandelion flower – detoxification; bedstraw – liver and bile ducts; bilberry – circulatory system). The tincture is suitable as a long-term supplement for overall care, especially if you want to incorporate flavonoid-rich herbal extracts into your regimen.
- Beauty Marine Collagen + 22 Essences collagen drink with liposomal vitamin C 267 g – dietary supplement based on patented NATICOL® marine collagen peptides.
Liposomal Vitamin C Plus 60 capsules (dietary supplement), a combination of vitamin C, zinc, and selenium in the liposomal form of vitamin C (NeoLipo™ C).
2) EXTERNAL CARE - is key to the cosmetic effect on the skin’s appearance – especially thanks to regular massage with gels rich in flavonoids in liposomal form. You can use the gels/serums separately or combine them as needed (alternate or layer them with a break in between).
Anti-Edema Gel – an emulsion gel designed for a refreshing skin massage, with a quickly absorbed texture. It contains CBD in a standardized nanomicellar form and the LEGACTIF™ complex (plant extracts including goldenrod, lemon, and horsetail), as well as a blend of essential oils for an immediate feeling of freshness and comfort.
Recommended routine: especially in the morning—for greater comfort throughout the day; for more intensive care, it can also be applied in the evening.
Anti-Edema Roll-On Serum - “SOS” spot treatment in roll-on form for quick, contact-free application anytime during the day when you want to treat your skin to a cooling and soothing sensation (convenient for travel).
Flavoderm 100 ml – a regenerative cream with flavonoids and CBD, particularly suitable for dry, flaky, or itchy skin, and typically also for irritation associated with wearing compression garments. If you are simultaneously using other gels from the NEOBOTANICS line in the morning/evening, we recommend applying the gel first, followed by the Flavoderm cream once it has absorbed. It is also ideal to apply the cream after removing compression stockings, when the skin is most stressed.
Application and Combination:
Apply gels/serums ideally in the morning, or both morning and evening for a more intensive regimen. If combining two products, it is often practical to apply Anti-Edema Gel in the morning (for daytime comfort) and choose the second product in the evening based on preference; alternatively, use the roll-on anytime during the day as needed.
Is CBD ANTI-EDEMA GEL also suitable for swelling after leg surgery?
CBD ANTI-EDEMA GELis a cosmetic product intended for skin care and massage of skin prone to swelling and for a feeling of comfort for tired legs.
We recommend using the gel after surgery, but only if the skin at the application site is fully healed and the application is in accordance with the post-surgery regimen determined by the doctor (especially if you have compression, a specific rehabilitation procedure, etc.).
Safety recommendations after surgery:
- Do not apply to injured, open or otherwise disturbed skin (e.g. fresh scars, wounds, scabs, areas with stitches).
- Avoid application in the immediate vicinity of the surgical wound until the skin is fully healed and free of sensitive areas.
- Start slowly: in the first few days after inclusion, apply a small amount to a smaller area and monitor tolerance.
- If in doubt, follow the advice of your treating physician (especially in case of complicated healing, infection, hematomas, use of anticoagulants, etc.).
Using the gel in practice:
- Apply tosurrounding healed areasand massage gently.
- It is practically proven in the morning (comfort during the day) and, if necessary, in the evening.
- If you are using compression aids at the same time, apply the gel so that it is fully absorbed before putting on the compression.
Which products should I use for facial swelling and under-eye bags?
We do not recommend using the gel on facial skin. This gel is intended for the body, and its composition may be unnecessarily irritating for more sensitive facial skin (and especially the eye area). For your face, choose products that are formulated and tested for facial skin.
Puffy under-eye bags are sometimes also associated with swelling. Regarding facial swelling and under-eye bags – dietary supplements have a good effect on the condition of the subcutaneous tissue and skin elasticity.
- Flavo-lymf for lymphatic system and vascular support, a purely herbal concentrated tincture, is excellent for swelling in the limbs and cellulite.
- Beauty Marine Collagen + 22 Essences collagen drink with liposomal vitamin C 267 g for skin elasticity, joint and bone, hair and nail nourishment. A premium product containing collagen peptides from marine fish NATICOL®, NeoLipo® C - liposomal vitamin C, MSM, hyaluronic acid, 6 plant extracts, 8 B vitamins, zinc, manganese, soluble inulin fiber, and lyophilized fruit juices.
