Permanent bruise or discoloration after laser vein treatment?

February 26, 2019
Asked By:loon789 in Los Angeles, CA

I have one round of vein injections 8 months ago and two YAG laser treatments within the last three months and my leg looks worse and will not lighten. Is there anything I can do? I’m considering getting injections again instead of laser. It looks like a permanent bruise, not a vein anymore which is worrying me.
