How long before I see results from sclerotherapy of hand veins? (Photo)

Had sclerotherapy 1 week ago on my bulging hand and wrist veins, immediate compression and I am still wearing compression gloves. I had the 3% Sotradecol liquid injected and there is no bruising at all. The veins look the same but I was expecting some bruising and I don't have a single one. I had burning for a few hours after the procedure and swelling for 2 days but other than that my hands look the same. Is this normal?
