And sometimes it just takes a long time.

But the final thing I would say is for the spider veins, what we're doing is we're closing them.

So now we're depending on the body to take them away.

And it takes at least four weeks to see results.

Now on top of that,

even if you inject it perfectly.

And I'm, you know, pretty, I'd say I'm pretty good at it.

I've done this for years and I've got experience and I really will inject that vein until I see it like turn black or purple.

So I know it's closed in thrombose.

Um,

some of these veins will reopen.

The body wants these veins there and spontaneously even doing a perfect job.

So it's probably about 70 to 75% effective the first round of injections for spider veins.

So some of them will persist.

And on top of that, the body sometimes wants these veins.

It's a wear and tear problem, right?

So it'll actually grow a vein right next to where we just injected that vein.

And you know it's what we call neovascularization because it actually looks a little different.

Sometimes it literally could look like a bruise.

It could look like black or brown.
