How can I treat these areas to minimize the scarring or altered skin left behind? What laser should I use to get rid of the veins going forward. I've had sclerotherapy and that did nothing for the spider veins.

Answer: I had the VeinGogh procedure 3 weeks ago ? Following VeinGogh treatment, it is not at all unusual to have some redness, or marks on the skin. They very often look like little scratches, which we refer to as the "Cat Scratch Effect". These will slowly go away over time, but not necessarily in just a couple of weeks. Understand that these areas are not scarred, just routine post-treatment inflammation. In our office, we have a topical cream, called Dermaka, which we give to all spider vein patients, that with daily use, helps any pigmentation or marks go away much faster. Also, it should have been made clear to you that a single treatment will not get rid of all your veins, and generally a series of treatments are needed.

Answer: Try Arnica So I'm not a huge fan of Veingogh but I would say that I recommend Arnica gel or cream to all my vein patients. Its over the counter and homeopathic. It helps with any pain and discoloration. As far as lack of improvement sounds like you need to find a true vein specialist so that they can evaluate you for more significant or deeper reflux (venous insufficiency)
