Asked By:Reema in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I have done sclerotherapy in Nov 23 for one leg and I have developed spots and dark bruises. The injected large veins turned dark and the surrounded area got pigmented as well. It has been 4 weeks since then and the pigmentation is frustrating and my leg looks very ugly. I didnt want to do the other leg cause I dont like the result, my leg got worse. Do you think the pigmented veins and dark bruises will ever fade out? and how long it takes to disappear? I am worried. Many thanks
