Is it normal for my leg to look like this after laser spider vein procedure? (photos)

Question

I had my leg treated yesterday for spider veins with a laser and I am wondering if my results are normal.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I have my patietns use Arnika and vitamin K topically and oral vitamin C post vein treatments.  Also compression on the legs for 5-7 days helps decrease the chance of prolonged pigmentation after vein treatments.  This looks normal.  Best, Dr. Emer.

John Landi, MD · Answer

What you show is a normal appearance post laster treatment of spider veins. The treated areas tend to look worse before getting better. Dermaka cream will help and this should improve over several weeks.
