I'm 30 yr old active woman w/ multiracial background of Irish, African American, Native American and Middle Eastern descent, I have dark hair and tan easily. I had 2 treatments for minimal spider veins that worsened during preg. the first 1yr1/2 ago and the last 1year ago. I got hpigmentaion the 1st time then was treated again and I still have it. my L leg was treated for spider veins and the R he says cross between a spider vein and varicose?(2 different solutions) my L leg is fine the R bad :( before not so bad, after terrible. so...sad, too embarrassed to wear shorts. are their any laser treatments to clear the hyperpigmentation that I have had for over 1 year 1/2?
