1. Compression socks are beneficial to your health.

2. Compression stockings can get rid of varicose veins.

Sometimes, we can't go back to where we started, just like the veins in your legs. Unfortunately, wearing compression socks will not magically remove varicose veins in one go. While they can increase blood flow, they cannot get rid of the existing varicose veins. However, you can still wear them to protect your lower legs and feet to help slow down the development of such varicose veins.

Verdict: Myth
