SIGVARIS USA Extends Educational Efforts in Healthy Advice's Skin Ca...( CINCINNATI Sept. 1 /- He...),Health

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthy Advice Networks, the nation's leading provider of physician office-based patient-education programs has announced that SIGVARIS, the world's leading manufacturer of ready-to-wear compression therapy garments, is expanding to the Skin Care Network to broaden their educational coverage. Research has proven that the dermatologist's office is an ideal place to increase the awareness of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), as well as other venous disorders. CVI contributes to the development of varicose veins, which affects one out of every five men and women.

The Healthy Advice Skin Care Network currently reaches 1,100 dermatologists and impacts 12.5 million patient and caregiver visits through digital health-information programs delivered in high-traffic physicians' waiting rooms. Award-winning patient-education segments encourage an enhanced dialogue between patients and physicians to determine the best treatment options. SIGVARIS is supporting the educational network with the goal of stressing the benefits of preventative and post-treatment compression therapy use.

"SIGVARIS strongly believes in supporting educational programs that help consumers understand the cosmetic and health issues associated with early symptoms of venous insufficiency. We deeply value the educational content that Healthy Advice Networks delivers to patients nationwide and it is one of the primary reasons we chose to participate in the Skin Care Network. It is critical that people who have tired or swollen legs and feet, or the beginnings of spider and/or varicose veins, recognize the symptoms and underlying health risks of venous disorders. They often do not know that a simple change of socks/hosiery to SIGVARIS graduated compression garments can help prevent or alleviate these issues," said Lisa Wells, SIGVARIS Marketing Communications.
