I had sclerotherapy of many reticular veins over the course of a year and have some mild to severe hemosiderin staining, particularly in the calf and ankle area. Some are injection sites and others follow along the course of treated veins. After 8 months the doctor decided it would not likely resolve in its own. I have had one Yag treatment 5 weeks ago and there has been a slight fading, but that's it. Generally, is iron staining easier to remove than a tattoo?
