Tired, heavy and aching legs, swollen ankles and small varicose veins are some of the symptoms that indicate that the valves in our veins are not working as efficiently as they should.
Early recognition of symptoms, intervention and management with graduated compression hosiery can prevent further development and more serious problems.
Sigvaris hosiery is designed to facilitate the blood flow in your veins by exerting an external Graduated Compression. Graduated Compression gives you maximum pressure at the ankle, reducing as you go up the leg. There are different levels of compression available according to medical need.
At the Orchard Cosmetic Skin Centre, Dr Rhatigan medically assesses all patients to ensure that the hosiery is appropriate and that the correct level of compression is chosen.
Don ‘t wait until you see symptoms, if you are on your feet a lot, treat your legs now and feel the difference. The range is fashionable and comfortable with several different styles and over 20 colours to choose from.
Sigvaris Compression Hosiery is a wonderful treat for pregnant women, helping to relieve tired aching legs as baby grows.

“I was really surprised by how fashionable and comfortable these are, I was expecting something thick and frumpy! I wear the thigh-highs and the socks and you wouldn’t know they were a medically endorsed product at all. I’m on my feet all day and the difference has been amazing. My legs don’t ache anywhere near as much as they used too and I’ve stopped worrying about my veins. Everyone should wear them!”
