Compression Socks May Have Beauty Benefits for Women

Try-wearing-compression-socks-for-women-to-help-with-varicose-veins

Compression socks aren’t just for professional athletes. Though the pros may have made compression socks more popular, they aren’t the only ones who can feel the incredible benefits. Whether you are training for a serious athletic event or just want to feel better in your daily life, compression socks can help you reach your goals.

Compression socks for women are a particularly well-kept secret. Many women don’t think they need compression socks for their training schedule. But the benefits go well beyond the gym. Have you ever sat down after hours on your feet at work and you instantly feel a familiar pain at the bottom of your foot? By wearing compression socks for women, you can skip that pain almost entirely. Say goodbye to painful swelling, achy feet and so much more when you wear compression socks for women. 

What Are Compression Socks?

Before we talk about the benefits of compression socks for women, let’s discuss what compression socks are. To put it simply, they are socks designed to promote healthy blood flow to your feet and back to your heart.

When you put a strain on your muscles and tendons, they start to rip in microscopic tears. During your recovery, your heart pumps blood to those muscles to promote the healing of those muscles and tendons. The oxygenated blood gives the tissue what it needs to grow back strong than it was before.

If your blood flow is restricted in any way, you prolong the recovery time and increase the uncomfortable soreness you feel after a workout. It’s why everyone encourages you to stretch after a workout — to get that blood flowing back to your exhausted muscle. Compression socks can help promote that recovery, too.

How Does Compression Technology Work?

Compression socks work by putting pressure on the areas of your body that tend to pool with blood during high-intensity training sessions or long days on your feet. Your ankles, wrists, and feet are all problem areas for restricted blood flow.

Compression gently squeezes these areas to prevent the blood from staying stagnant in your arteries and veins. PRO Compression makes compression socks for women with Graduated Compression design. The difference between Graduated Compression and standard compression is the amount of pressure. With Graduated Compression, your socks get gradually tighter as the sock moves down your leg.

If you’re wearing calf compression socks, the tube of the sock that fits around your leg will feel like a typical training sock. But the material around your ankle and the arch of your foot will be much more snug.

This design gives you a more comfortable fit and it also promotes healthy blood flow to your ankles and feet.

Benefits of Compression Socks for Women

What are the benefits of compression socks for women, specifically? The most popular benefits are both health and beauty related.

Health-Related Benefits

We already know that compression socks for women can help your muscles recover after a long training session, but what you might not know is that they can also help prevent dangerous clotting and painful swelling.

Because the compression socks keep your blood moving quickly throughout your body, it’s more difficult for it to pool and form a clot. Blood clots are extremely dangerous. They restrict blood flow completely, which might not sound like a terrible thing for your feet. But if the clot breaks free and travels throughout your body, it could end up in your heart or your brain making them fatal. Clots can also cause painful swelling, which will only be compounded if you spend the whole day on your feet at work. 

It’s safe to say that if you make the choice to switch to compression socks, you’re making the right choice for your feet and your overall health.

Beauty-Related Benefits

If life-saving designs weren’t enough, compression socks for women also have a few beauty benefits. For example, compression socks can help with the appearance of varicose veins. Varicose veins are those bulging, blue veins that show up on your legs. More than the uncomfortable swelling varicose veins can cause, most women are self-conscious of the way their varicose veins look.

Thankfully, compression socks for women can help reduce the appearance (and uncomfortable swelling) of varicose veins by promoting quick, healthy blood flow.

Where to Buy Compression Socks

Are you ready to buy your first pair of compression socks for women? Great! You’re in the right place. PRO Compression offers a variety of different colors and designs in compression socks of all sizes. We created low, mid and over-the-calf compression socks to fit your different style choices.

At work, when you want to look professional, while still preventing swelling, wear a pair of low compression socks. When you hit the gym in the evening, put on a pair of mid compression socks. They’ll support your movements while you train and keep your blood flowing. At night, when you’re in full recovery mode, try a pair of over-the-calf compression socks. They’re safe to wear while you sleep and you will wake up feeling refreshed.

You should also check out our arm compression sleeves. They offer the same benefits to your upper body as compression socks provide for your lower body. Try them all and let us know what you think!

New designs are released every month, so make sure to come back and check us out again soon!
