What is the normal amount of time for reabsorption of superficial spider veins after laser treatment? 3 weeks post op.

32219anon
I had laser treatment for very small, superficial spider veins on my thighs and the inside of my left knee. It's been 3 weeks and they have not been reabsorbed yet. They also look worse, darker, but no redness around them. They are not infected. Is this normal? I am not overweight and I did not lift any heavy weight or run (I do hike and dance) after the procedure 3 weeks ago. I was told I didn't need to wear compression stockings, so I did not. Thank you.
