I had a VeinWave treatment about a month ago and a lot of my veins were completely gone, but after about 2 weeks the very same veins refilled and became visible again. Why is that? Will another session grant permanent results?

I recommend that you wait at least a week for all of the inflammation to subside and any bruising to heal before you get laser treatments for facial telangiectasias. The longer you wait, the better (2-3 weeks is ideal).
Every physician or surgeon who performs sclerotherapy follows a standard protocol and has a unique instruction set and it is important to follow the one outlined to you by the performing physician. I recommend avoidance of sun for 3 months and compression stockings for 3 months. Others...
Thank you for your question. In our office, we have our patients stay out of the sun and cover the legs with compression dressing/garment for 2 weeks.
I hope this helps.
