Asked By:mochica in Cincinnati, OH

Hi, I got Veingogh treatment on my legs 5 weeks ago. The 'cat scratch' scabs have been gone for a couple weeks, but I still have red marks/dots and Purple marks where the veins were, which are more noticeable than the actual veins were.. i have been applying Arnicare (in morning) and SkinMedica scar recovery gel (at night) for last few weeks. I have not seen much improvement. Will these marks go away? Are they hyperpigmentation, or part of the recovery process? Any time frame or advice is appreciated.
