Question

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Usually from 1-2 weeks, and gradually fading.  Hard areas over the veins may last for 1-2 months. I hope this helps.

"Laser vein removal" is a misnomer as the veins are not being removed but obliterated by a process of chemical irritation and local thrombosis and healing with fibrosis and thromboobliteration.They will go away within weeks or 3 months.

John Landi, MD · Answer

A laser is essentially a hot light and it works by heating the small spider veins to coagulate the blood within them and also heating the walls of the veins to dissolve them.  Since this treatment is a form of a localized burn, it could result in the reaction that you had.  It also may take several weeks for the red elevated areas to resolve.  Symptomatic treatment with a topical antibacterial ointment may help to improve this.
