Asked By:franchesca55 in Beverly Hills, FL

I'm 4 weeks post my second sclerotherapy session and there are marks all over my legs, some are bluish and bruise-like and others just look like discoloration. This looks so much worse than before the treatment? Is there anything I can do, nothing is fading at this point and there are still blue, elevated parts of the veins showing on one leg. I'm so nervous and disappointed. I'm scared this won't go away. Please advise
