2 days post-Excel V on veins under eyes, is this discoloring look normal? (Photos)

sf78717Sep 2, 2017
I did Excel V 2 days ago for veins under both eyes. I was told I might be puffy or bruised. I wasn't told it may looked darker almost red or purplish black. I'm not sure if it's scabbed. I'm nervous now because I'm not sure if this is normal? I went to a dermatologist that I researched that works on veins and had excellent reviews on several sights. I liked him and his staff I'm just concerned now that this isn't normal??
