Should my legs look like this 11 weeks after Sclerotherapy? (photo)

April 20, 2017
Asked By:clozeau in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I had sclerotherapy on February 3rd, it is now April 20 and my legs still look like this. I went for 2 follow-up apppointments, first after two weeks which I was told to wait to see if the trapped blood would clear on its own, the second appointment three weeks after that they drained the areas and did a second treatment of sclerptherapy around the discolored areas. I'm not sure if what I am seeing now is normal or if more treatments are necessary? Thank you in advance for any information.
