It took almost three months to heal.

And then I was left with like a black kind of scar afterwards.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

That looks terrible, but whatever.

I'm a guy.

And then literally it took almost two years and it faded completely and you can't see it at all.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

So a lot of this little stuff, and I've seen patients many years after their initial procedure where they had terrible looking legs.

And then if you wait long enough, a lot of this stuff will fade.

having lighter skin and less melatonin obviously is better, and the fading of all those little marks will be more significant or much better.

Very dark skin.

In general, people with dark skin, keloid, they have a lot of problems with hyperpigmentation.

So you have to be realistic when we have a patient with very dark skin.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions

We explain, look, this is what you have now.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions

And that patient said,

Strictly Anonymous Confessions

black, black veins with dark, dark skin.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

And I treated it and it came out absolutely perfect.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

You couldn't tell anything was there before.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

And the other patients, the dark spots don't go away.

Strictly Anonymous Confessions
1445 - Bulging Varicose & Spider Veins: Why You Have Them & How to Fix Them

So yeah, I understand.
