Is it normal that the red veins on my face are still visible post Excel Nd: YAG laser treatment? (Photos)

melycoOct 6, 2018
On October 5th I got two small red marks on my face (that my derm identified as veins) lasered off. I am currently one day post op, and the red marks look exactly the same as before... Is this normal? The doctor told me that he thinks only one treatment would be enough for me since my veins were quite small. I heard him say that the red marks were “gone”, and that the redness remaining was due to the laser, but I’m still uncertain.
