Best method to remove brownish (iron) skin staining due to sclerotherapy?

February 20, 2016
Asked By:Research7 in Redwood City, CA

Is the Picoway or the Q-switch laser more effective in removal of hemosiderin brownish (iron) skin staining due to sclerotherapy-treated leg spider veins from many years ago that has not resolved on its own? Or some other treatment? Bleaching is too surface.
