I recently have gone thru laser and injections for my veins. During the process after completion. I have noticed from my knee up mid point of my inner thigh the colors of bruising, blues, reds etc. and also on the front part of bothe legs from the ankle height again midpoint. Was told by the doctors who treated the veins that it’s the dead/dried blood working it’s way out. Is that possible or should I be concerned. My last visit was 10/2017

Answer: Post treatment- Venous procedures Hi and thank you for your question. It is important to remember that not all the cases are the same and not everyone responds to treatment in the same way. Moreover, bruising, redness, and sensitivity are all normal post treatment and it is important to let it heal. I recommend that you keep your follow ups with your vein doctor and let him re-evaluate with ultrasound imaging to check for patency of your venous system. Coming back for your follow up appointment with the vein doctor is very important as well as communicating any question or concern.

Answer: Post laser bruising. Your doctor is correct. Following a laser ablation the treated veins will start to contract and eventually dissolve. During this process the blood that was in the veins escapes into the surrounding tissues and usually over the one to two weeks post procedure you will see bruising and discoloration along the course of the treated veins. This will resolve with time.
