Veins Still There After Laser?

June 26, 2013
Asked By:Pearlygate in Monson, Maine, USA

I had KTP laser done a week ago to remove thread veins. It seemed like they were gone the day after but now they are back again? The nurse says it takes weeks but the blood has not coagulated, it is still flowing in the vein since when i press it, it stops and then flows again. I dont see how they could go away from now? Should i go back for a second treatment and can i do it 2 weeks later since this has had no effect?
